Again, I think this adds a satisfying element of progression, since you go from running and hiding from these enemies to butchering them. You're supposed to build a shelter and, more importantly, go mining underground at night where they don't spawn. you're really not even supposed to fight anything your first few nights. I've done my best to make all the 'bad' more like suggestions and I hope this is useful and constructive criticism.Ĭlick to expand.Well, it's also MUCH easier to avoid the early enemies in Terraria. Now Starbound has a more serious tone, but imagine, for example, that during rain, monsters don't roam, but take shelter! Makes rain a *good* time to go out on land, but a bad time to go cave-diving. It just makes it feel more that rain matters in the world. Different Enemies when it rains - Flying fish, walking fish and zombies with umbrellas.Making night creatures more menacing will make the night feel more menacing as well. Some subtle changes would make this a lot better, like giving all night creatures glowing eyes, make them scurry away/underground when daylight comes. Different Enemies at Night - Now I know that this *does* happen in Starbound, but it's not visually obvious.5 minutes of play in Terraria reminded me how very nice those ropes are! And they're available WITHOUT crafting tables! LACK OF ROPES! - Seriously, this is SO nice in Terraria.Having quests guide you through some of the functionality works very well. Quests! Terraria is a 'complete sandbox' with only a guide (but no indication of how to use him).'Background blocks' don't exist in Starbound, it's just normal blocks, placed in background.God how I forgot how terrible it is in Terraria. It takes tens of hits to down a zombie on your first night. Early enemies in Terraria are WAY stronger than you.Movement in Terraria is much slower, in fact it feels almost sluggish.And I wanted to share some of my observations, both good and bad for Starbound.īefore I start: Starbound is awesome! And I (still) can't wait for the story update! Now, I am *very* well aware that these are two very different games, but with some overlap in concept. And there were a few things I immediately noticed.
