Starbound Pre-Order and Beta Invites

Starbound

Pre-order and Beta Invites

That’s right folks, the long awaited Beta for Starbound is on its way. For all those like myself who were fans of Terraria, if you haven’t Taken a look at Starbound you should be ashamed of yourself. You should head over there NOW and redeem yourself before the game is actually out in full release Playstarbound.com GO NOW. For those of you who have, trust me when I say I understand your excitement. Having Pre-Ordered the game myself, I’ve decided to do this blog on the spot to encourage more of you to support their project. 

What is Starbound

Starbound is a game (DUH) in development by Chucklefish, a Indie game company,  it is a 2D  side-scroller sandbox game, similar to,yet from the looks of it, far better than, Terraria. Those who followed and played Terraria remember back in March of 2012 when Terraria stopped updating. This came with as a major shock to those who played the game, as there was so many area’s where the game could have been improved, and we were looking forward to future development of this title. Shortly after reading the post about Terraria ending on Kotaku, while mindlessly drifting through the post over on Rock Paper Shootgun in April 2012 I learned of Starbound. Just like Terraria, Starbound has mining, it has Construction, a similar visual style, and yes a crossover in design, but there are several difference in Starbound, For one, rather than seeding various standalone worlds, Starbound takes place on several planets. It’s like Terraria… in space lol. There are a a lot more items with a wider variety in terms of creatures and landscapes. If you ask me Starbound is looking to be a great game. Below are some snapshots Character Creator, it's in it's beta stages. What this means is that their are possible changes that can and will be made to it before release. If you want to mess around with it yourself you will need to first make an account/ become a member of their forums, shoot on over to the page if via the link.

Why should I Pre-Order this game?

If you’re a fan of TGS and watch Totalbiscuit's podcast, or even watch Totalbiscuit I’m sure this is a question your asking yourself RIGHT NOW. Well one, depending on how much you pay when you pre-order depends on how much you get. The pre-orders can be seen on their page Playstarbound.com/store/  where the lowest payment to pre-order Starbound is 15   dollars. This gets you 1 copy of Starbound +   a steam key when it comes to Steam, a Beta Invite, and Starbound’s Sound track WHICH is available now, (the soundtrack that is, not the beta.)  The highest you can pre-order for is 2000, I personally did the 20 pre-order.  Did I forget to mention that both Totalbiscuit and Jesse Cox said they would to a let's play of Starbound on it’s release. If you watched their Terraria let's play, you know that they are bound to make you want to own this game at one point in time. Why not go ahead and pre-order it now, so you can play it, and be able to contribute, via giving advice to TB and Jesse during the let's play. not like they’ll listen,Still good fun and laughs are bound to be had. Besides that, they are adding content when they reach certain Stretch Goals. Right now they have added in Pets, Fossils, and my favorite a new race The Novakids.
