“The game isn’t dead, it still has a thousands and thousands of players. It is currently being optimised for console which means there’s a feature freeze right now.

The game is, from a development standpoint, stable and complete. Chucklefish have moved on to other projects. So from a development standpoint, yes. The game is “dead”, insofar as any other release is.

After taking inspiration from the transition Risk of Rain shown by evolving into Risk of Rain 2, Chucklefish decides to recreate the 2d-to-3d experience.

No, Starbound is not a sequel to Terraria. Starbound is an idea that may well been motivated by Terraria but was in no way meant to replace or continue Terraria.

The version history of Starbound consists of the changes that have been made to the game with each update. Starbound first entered public beta on December 4th, 2013, and left beta into version 1.0 on July 22nd, 2016….Version history.

Starbound coming to Windows 10 and Xbox One via Game Preview! We’re super excited to announce that Xbox One owners will be able to play Starbound on console via Xbox One Game Preview for the very first time!

A big plus for the longevity of Starbound is that the modders community is pretty amazing, meaning that if you get sick of the vanilla game there’s mods to change or add just about anything you could think of. TL;DR: Yes it’s worth it.

Graphics. As the newer game, Starbound’s graphic quality is superior. For a pixelated game, it’s far less pixelated than Terraria. In addition, the shading adds more depth and shadows, which contributes to a sleeker gameplay experience.

Starbound is quite similar to Terraria, but there are a few key differences such as races and the fact that the world doesn’t end, it wraps around (planets are round, you can walk in one direction and end up where you started). Starbound is not a sequel, but many people call it a spiritual successor to Terraria.

Starbound is from a different developer, only @Tiyuri worked on both games. Starbound is quite similar to Terraria, but there are a few key differences such as races and the fact that the world doesn’t end, it wraps around (planets are round, you can walk in one direction and end up where you started).

Backers who pledged $500 or more to pre-order the game were granted a hat design to be included in game. The pre-order tier details state; “You get to design a hat for Starbound! Submit a sketch or idea and we’ll draw it for you and place it in the game for everyone to find and wear!”

There are a number of player made submissions from the Create-A-Hat forum contest that were announced would be included in the game. Capes are back slot armor items. Capes don’t provide stats, but can sometimes present special abilities such as providing light. Cosmetic armor sets are groupings of similar armor, usually by name.

Cosmetic Armor pieces are designed to be equipped in cosmetic armor slots and commonly don’t offer significant stat boosts. They can be equipped in the cosmetic slot next to the armor slot in the inventory window, allowing for different styles without requiring currently equipped armor to be removed.
