Aww, Yeaaah!
Been wanting to play this game for ages!
I think I may come down with a bit of a cough on the 3rd >_>
It should be worth noting that the Beta’s being broken down into 3 phases. The first phase (releasing on the date above if all goes well with Steam) will be primarily a bug-testing phase, with more features coming in the latter two stages before release. Anyone who’s interested in more about what comes in each stage can have a look at this Starbound post – http://playstarbound.com/how-the-beta-is-going-to-work/
So torn… Massive fan of their work and have already chipped in at an NPC level, but I like to wait for finished games instead of beta testing.
Is it a coincidence that 4th December is also the Vita release of Terraria? The lead artist of which is now the lead developer of Starbound.
