ockpii's Starbound Analysis videos

Hello, everyone!


Starbound is a game being developed by Terraria's spriter, Tiy. It's a 2D platformer that combines a bit of mining, but RPG elements and Pokémon-like stuff, such as analyzing enemies and plants, and training foes to do what you want + mechs and such!

Anyways, I've started a series of videos entitled "Discussing _____". And the first game to fill that blank was precisely Starbound. So here are my analysis videos that cover pretty much all of the info there is :)


The first one, in which I discuss pretty much everything up to that point.
The second one, in which I focus on shields and combat.
The third one, in which I focus on the first gameplay video and some more stuff!
The fourth one, in which I focus on the latest Wallpaper of the Week and underwater stuff!
The fifth one, in which I talk about the first confirmed mobs in the game and analyze the latest Wallpaper of the Week!
The sixth one, in which I take a look at the latest Wallpaper of the Week!
The seventh one, where I talk about what the team has been working on, show you a new multiplayer screenshot and something about a Beta!
The eighth one, in which I go through the three new biome screenshots!
The ninth one, where I analyze the latest Wallpaper of the Month, go over a new screenshot, discuss water pressure and more!
The tenth video (!), in which I analyze some brand new screenshots, featuring biome stuff, nighttime, and a Heinz ad!
The eleventh one, in which I analyze the second and newest gameplay video, featuring a variety of forests + day&night!
The twelfth one, where I go over new screenshots, prospect of pets and more stuff!
Lucky number thirteen, in which I talk about a brand new playable race plus some new screenshots (snow included)!

For Discussing Starbound #32 I take a moment to relax a bit and enjoy the nice things of this place such as a brand new spanking website that Chucklefish Games now has, and I talk about the possibility of Starbound getting an Ouya release!

I want it, even if it's unfinished yet :)

 

I'm very much looking forward to seeing how well they pull off their method of having a story in an RPG.
It's always been an issue I've had with Western RPGs, in that generally the stories are diluted by the fact that you can "Play whatever role you want", rather than having a solid story built around a set of well-defined characters. Obviously, this is still going to be somewhat similar to how it's normally done, but I'm still interested to see what effects their small changes have. :)

 

Story in a Sandbox, you mean. The game has several genre elements, like RPGey, but it's still a Sandbox ;)
This game is being very competently created, I assure you that :)

i've ben waiting for starbound for such a loooooooong time >.<

 

Funny, I've been waiting for it since it was first announced, and yet I haven't been waiting long at all! ^_^

 

sad that they stopped developing terraria :(

 

Updated the OP with my newest video on the latest gameplay video!

 

WOW you'r vids are awesome ,subed :D

 

Thank you! I do put a lot into every video I do :)

 

The final boss looks.... wormy.... i really hope the worm does not creep on you an then tranform into a gigantic killing machine ​

 

I hope someone revives it actually... One of my favorite games too

 

I actually have a few Terraria videos that you guys might find very useful ;)

Same i played it alot but now when i have hallowedarmor i dunno what to do <:(

 

Updated the op with the new Discussing Starbound video in which I talk about a new playable race + 3 screenshots (snow included!)!

 

Another nice video. I like how you zoom in and point out things on the background. At some points I have trouble understanding what you say but I am willing to look past that :p

 

the game seems very cool, I'll try. :D

 

The game is not even remotely out yet. There are only screenshots and development videos showcasing some of the features that are being worked on. There's also concept art available and a few desktop wallpapers, but that's it. Ockpii here is analysing said videos, pictures, screenshots to possibly reveal more than meets the eye, and simply speculates.
