Solitude


I tried something new this time, I found a quote and tried to interpret it visually. I experimented freely with colours this time. Hopefully the finished article isn't too bad.

Starbound



Starbound is an up and coming game on development which will be a dynamic 2D platformer. What can we expect? A destructive and hazardous environment, aliens, and Terraria like gameplay! This game is being developed by a team which was originally part of the Terraria development team. One big thing I noticed is that starbound is like a 2D space-stage spore. But it seems that it will be much greater fun than spore's let down.

The basic story of starbound goes something to the extent of this: You're fleeing from your home planet aboard a space shuttle and it is shot down. With your last resort you fire out in an escape pod in some aimless direction. You eventually land in an abandoned space station. You will slowly renew this station back to it's glory and former awesome and set out to explore the galaxy!

There are a couple unique aspects to this game:

Capturing and training aliens [or basically life forms from these planet's you'll be exploring]. Further more at some point you'll be able to claim an entire planet as your home world. You'll be able to populate this world and terraform it to your desire. A big part of the game is exploration right? Thus all the planets are procedurally generated.

It is expected to be released in the summer of 2012, but who knows? But when it does come out... Fun will be had!
