​

So for those who are unaware.. Starbound BETA went live yesterday, one of the creators who made Terraria possible Finn Bryce.

Some time ago i hosted a CubeWorld server but that failed badly as there was basicly no support or active development from Cubeworld to have a active server going without issues, but i've done some research and Starbound seems way diffrent and they have active development going and updates that goes out rather quick.

About the Game

The game is massive, completely procedurally generated and has a lot of content still to come. Expect a storyline, quests and buggering shit-tons of stuff to do.

If you liked Terraria then this is probably a game you'll fall madly in love with.

Something to remember... The game is in early beta. Your worlds and your characters will regularly be deleted until it moves from the "Progenitor" phase into the "Automaton" phase. You can read more about all that and what to expect here: http://playstarbound.com/how-the-beta-is-going-to-work/ )

You can pre-order it either at the Starbound website or by buying it on Steam for $15 or €14 or whatever currency you use. Four-packs are also available.

For more Info visit their website: http://playstarbound.com/

What i'll bring to the table?

Myself and a few friends have decided to get a South African Starbound community going and get a dedicated server started which will be hosted 24/7 in a Datacenter in Cape Town.. meaning low latency for everyone to have fun on and enjoy the game.

* 24/7 Starbound server which you can enjoy with your friends and the rest of the SA community.
* Low Latency where everyone can join and have a great time with a open world of players.
* And most importantly.. keep the server updated with the latest updates thats released by Starbound so that we will always run the latest server software as they release.

If you are interested let me know, i'll post more info here and update the post as i get the server up soon.

Just to correct you, Starbound is made by ONE of the two people who assisted in Terraria's development, Finn Bryce (also known as @tiyuri on Twitter).

And Starbound in itself is a huge effort and consists of a much bigger group than Terraria's three-man team: http://playstarbound.com/team/

Bryce primarily worked on Terraria's graphic design whereas Andrew Spinks is the gent who designed and programmed Terraria (and can be credited as "the guy who made Terraria"). The music was composed by Scott Lloyd Shelley.
