Indie Game ‘Starbound’ Bound for Nothing

The moment I first saw the Starbound trailer, I could tell I was watching what could possibly be one of the most enjoyable multiplayer games I’ve ever seen. The trailer was exciting, showing off all these ambitious ideas. Filled to the brim with content and the tools necessary to fully immerse a player, I immediately pre-ordered it, happily awaiting the full release that would soon come in the winter.

That was three years ago and, by the looks of it, Starbound is no closer to being released today as it was on December 4, 2013 when it was put up for sale on Steam as an Early Access title.

Three years is a pretty long time for a game to be in Early Access, there’s no getting around that, but maybe the game is still fun. After all, Chucklefish, the publisher, was more than happy to assure customers that Starbound “was already pretty fun” and “already extremely playable,” and, for what it’s worth, those first few trial weeks weren’t so bad. The game really was “pretty fun,” but there simply wasn’t enough content to sustain itself. Six hours was more than enough to tackle the majority of content in the early days of the Early Access.

Starbound on Early Access was never meant to be anything more than a small treat for those who pre-ordered the game, but as more time passes, the more time Starbound will have been a beta than a full game when the full game releases.

“This Early Access game is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development.” – Steam’s Early Access Game “Warning”

It’s the “if” in Steam’s Early Access prompt that worries me the most. What if Starbound never progresses any further? Chucklefish pretty regularly updates their website and keeps fans in the loop with what they’re doing, but in these past three years it’s never really felt like Starbound has gotten any closer to a full release, if anything, it’s started to feel like a more complete Beta over time.

Another worrisome issue with Starbound is its pricing. Right now, for the Beta, it’s $14.99 and Chucklefish states on the store page that “the price will likely change after Early Access.” Typically, after Early Access, the price increases. Given how slowly the development team has been progressing, it feels very unlikely that Starbound will reach a point anytime soon where its content will justify its $15 price tag. It’s very true that you can sink a large amount of time in the game, but that’s only if you can find pleasure in the same menial tasks and basic exploring for dozens of hours.

The biggest problem with Starbound is the precedent it sets on Steam for indie developers; You can sell a blatantly incomplete game with almost none of the content shown in trailers so long as you promise that someday it’ll be added in. The worst part of all that being there’s no guarantee the developer will actually finish. There’s nothing to force them to finish the game once sales start coming in. The only thing at risk is their public image, and what’s that for a quick buck?

I would not go as far as saying I feel scammed by Starbound, I played it and I had a decent amount of fun with it, but I will say I absolutely do feel cheated. I was promised a full game and three years later it doesn’t look like it’ll be releasing any time soon, and at this point I’m not entirely sure I WANT the full game anymore. Time makes the heart grow fonder, but it also makes it grow yonder, and I definitely care less about Starbound now than I ever have.

Netflix — all news and articles

Netflix is ​​an American streaming service that allows you to watch movies, series and TV programs. The company was founded in 1997 and started out selling and renting movie DVDs delivered by mail. In the mid-2000s, with the development of the Internet, Netflix thought about developing an online format and introducing data streaming technology. The service began to quickly gain popularity, thanks, among other things, to a new automatic recommendation system for that time. Another advantage of Netflix was that the new seasons of the series were laid out in full at once, and viewers did not have to wait for the next episode to be released.

In 2011, the streaming service began producing its own content. The first Netflix Original series was House of Cards, starring Kevin Spacey, released in 2013. Today, the Netflix library contains hundreds of films and TV series of its own production or filmed specifically for this service (Black Mirror, Stranger Things, The Witcher, The Queen’s Move, The Crown, Narcos, Orange Is a Hit season», «Mindhunter», «Sex Education»).

Netflix has over 230 million subscribers as of early 2023. The service is available in most countries of the world. In 2016, users from Russia got the opportunity to subscribe to it, in 2020 a Russian-language version of the interface appeared, and many films and series became available in translation. In the spring of 2022, after the start of the military operation in Ukraine, Netflix announced the termination of its work in Russia.

Black Mirror

Trailer

Black Mirror

This is an anthology of individual episodes, each episode is a story that is so relevant and frighteningly realistic that it makes the viewer think about possible consequences of the use of technology. The series touches on a variety of topics, from social media to virtual reality and cybernetic human enhancement. It evokes feelings of unease and bewilderment, showing the dark side of our addiction to technology. Each episode is a different story with unique characters, problems and solutions, and each one makes you wonder about the future of our civilization. In my opinion this series is one of the best ever. If suddenly someone missed, I highly recommend watching at least a few episodes.

Released: 2011

IMDb Rating: 8.8

Stranger Things

Trailer

Stranger Things

This is an adventure series set in the 80s. It tells the story of a group of friends who encounter parallel worlds, mysterious creatures and secret government experiments. The series is filled with retro style and music of that time, and most importantly, it has its own atmosphere of nostalgia for childhood and youth. It touches on the themes of friendship, love, loss and exploration of the unknown. It’s also one of my favorite shows, I especially like the first season. At one time, I forced everyone at home to watch new series no matter what. The series is an excellent choice for connoisseurs of good old science fiction.

Release year: 2016

IMDb rating: 8.7

Orville

Trailer

The Orville

The Orville comedy-drama series can defuse the situation a bit. The series follows the crew of a starship as they explore new worlds and encounter new forms of life. Although the series is similar to Star Trek, The Orville has its own unique style and tone, combining adventure, comedy and serious themes. This is a hilarious yet touching series that touches on topics such as morality, religion, race relations, love and international politics. A great series to relax and laugh a little. I recommend taking note.

Released: 2017

IMDb Rating:8.0

Altered Carbon

Trailer

Altered Carbon

It is a cyberpunk series set in the future where humans can upload their conscious personalities into cybernetic bodies. The protagonist, an elite military man, is reborn in a new body to investigate the murder of a billionaire. The series touches on the themes of immortality, human nature, corruption and power, and also grapples with issues of technological development and its ethical implications. In addition, the series shows the amazing visual world of the future. This is undoubtedly one of the best series in this genre, especially the first season is worth noting. 9Luke Cage The main character is Luke Cage, who has supernatural strength and impenetrable skin. He faces corruption, violence and racial discrimination in his community. The series touches on the themes of racism, violence, justice and fortitude. By the way, he is part of the «Avengers» from Marvel, and expands their cinematic universe. The series is distinguished by its charisma, it also contains references to the culture and history of Haarlem. Pretty good show for an evening.
