His skin is exceptionally shiny and shows off some of the new reflection and environmental mapping the new engine makes possible. The orc begins dancing on a raised dais, posturing and styling for the camera. The camera pans around him, showing off a large temple interior, complete with columns and braziers. The bit that first caught our eye was a large, green orc-like creature dressed up in a primitive football uniform.

The entire demo which runs continuously, repeating every few minutes, shows off some of the new effects built into the engine. One such surprise was a Serious Sam 2 tech demo at the ATI booth. Most importantly, the opportunity to improve on the version isВ enormous, soВ by the time the final version is released, Starbound should offer something really special.Though GDC doesn't have the same focus on game demos that you'd find at E3, there are plenty of neat little nuggets to be found on the show floor. It's aВ super-boosted spaceВ version of Terraria, with a unique personality andВ tremendous opportunities for crafting and construction. What we can tell you is that fans will find Starbound to be the best exploration game on the market, at present. It's for you to decide if you like the genre enough to forgive these few shortcomings. It certain thatВ Starbound isn't finished yet the game is still in beta, andВ itВ lacks essential content (notably agriculture), withВ updates that sometimes delete your characters or their inventories. A beta that does more than just keep its promises The calm of these classic compositions recalls the style of Jeremy Soule, a successful composer that can beВ heard in OblivionВ and Skyrim, with a style that really emphasizesВ beauty and nostalgia. Note that the game's music goes perfectly with the exploration phases. Having said that,В it's still nice to come across these inhabitedВ villages, like those filled withВ merchants, charactersВ who haveВ consistent lines of dialogue.В Unlike most games in the genre, Starbound manages to have a genuine personality that always makes you come back for more! And they're very successful interiors tooвЂ“В they'reВ hand drawn, which gives them great personality but a certain repetitiveness that can't be avoided. Despite the low resolution, characters and environments are very successful, while many decorative elements are carefully designed to give personality to interiors. Retro and friendlyДЄs is nowВ the norm for independent games, Starbound's calling card is its retro graphics based on large pixels. The building aspect, however, is very well thought out and you can easily construct any object you can think of. The crafting system is comprehensive tooВ and constantly addsВ new content, although it's a shame that the menus aren't always completely functional when it comes to finding a particular object. Exploring the galaxy adds aВ certain infinite dimension, while the quality of fights and platform phasesВ is unrivalled.В The monsters are varied and require different strategies for confronting them,В while climate variability and severity gives real variety to the different planets, suchВ asВ arid deserts andВ moons without oxygen. Starbound may have many similarities to Terraria, but it's undeniable that the space exploration game pushes far beyond the concept of its ancestor.

Of course,В there's also the ability to dust off your excavation toolsВ at any timeВ to dig and harvest the precious minerals buried in the depths of the planet. Each planet has its ownВ individual climate, different monsters, and a hoard ofВ NPCs populatingВ entire villages, scattered across the universe like mysterious relics. The exploration component is paramount, and the excitement you feelВ when you discover a new planet is amazing. The game offers extensive creative possibilities, including being able to create your database on any planet in the (infinite) universe, customizingВ your ship, and customizing your equipment.The game offers a lot of content in the long term, with many levels of weapons and armor, galaxies which are prioritized according to the power of the enemy, and a higher quality of materials.Д«ut Starbound isn't limited to a simplistic 2D hack'n'slash. Like Minecraft and Terraria, Starbound is what you make it.
