Seriously ? No Starbound Thread in here ?
Ok , let's start saying Starbound is a game under development and that's like Terraria on steroids.
Assuming you played Terraria , well , add these features ---> http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/list-of-announced-game-information-updated-april-15th.450/

I just linked the thread update on April , so consider this list unfinished , more to come.

In the case you don't want to read all the stuff just watch this video.

Sooo it's going to be a true 2D platform sandbox game , Dev team is working hard every day (yesterday night i watched in streaming the dev coding stuff to make a functional trumpet playing notes and was impressive how he managed to do that stuff not knowing abc of notes and music in general--> http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=wKlkp0Go63w) and they keep their site updated every day.

I'm not hyped for the game cause i know the real potential of it but i could be wrong.

just give it a watch at http://playstarbound.com/

copy/pasted from YT description :

"You'll be able to craft musical instruments including a trumpet, violin, guitar, piano and drum. Once you've got one of these instruments you'll be able to hit various keyboard keys to play different notes. But more interestingly the instruments are able to read abc notation. Which you can read about here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC_not...

Essentially you'll be able to share tunes with each other as regular text. Copy and paste them into your Starbound directory and your player will use his instrument to play the song in game. You'll be able to play songs in multiplayer and even synchronize different instruments with each other to form a band.

Here's a really early video of a song played on a trumpet. The animation isn't remotely finished and looks really bad. We need better samples and the timing isn't quite right yet. But it gives you an idea!"

watching him coding gave me an headcache indeed

One of the few games I'm actually looking forward to... Terraria was great fun (probably even better after next update is released).

That is some gorgeous pixel art. The game itself looks like it's going to be fantastic, too.

Yeah i know what ABC_notation is. It's in Lotro aswell.

They could've used MML too, it's in Mabinogi.

Looks cool, I never really got into terraria after buying it.

But I'll probably buy this one anyways. Someone should start a C-rpg/steam/server group for it when it launches.

I was skeptic too about terraria , for me was another childish game till i tryied it and enjoyed a lot. even if it's sense of sandboxiness is not too big , you can do a lot of stuff with mods.
i reinstalled terraria yesterday with pickaxe (pain in the ass to install because files were outdated for tconfig) and necro mod , check them out here -->http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/best-mod-july-2013.102413/

we're playing this (and crpg obviously) till starbound come out.
