Anyone else have this game? It's in really early beta right now but I love it.
Basically, Starbound is Terraria in space. That's one of the only ways to describe it in a single sentence, even though that doesn't even come close to why I love it so much.
But basically, with other games that use procedural generation, when you set out to explore it's not like you don't know what you're getting into. The layout changes but if you've played the game for more than ~5 or 10 hours, you know what you're getting into, when you turn the corner you're not going to be surprised by what's happening.
I'm 46 hours into Starbound and I still don't have a very good idea of what I'm getting into every time I pick a planet. And it's not even finished yet. They still need to add a TON of monster variety, and some of the races don't spawn towns/buildings yet, etc. but what's out there right now in super early beta is so promising, it just makes me so excited to see the final product.
Oh yeah and there are instruments.
