“Starbound, a procedurally-generated sandbox adventure game set in space, has gone into beta, and was placed on Steam on Wednesday.”
“According to the game’s website, the developer raised more than $2.6 million via crowdfuning efforts.
“In Starbound, you take on the role of a character who’s just fled from their home planet, only to crash-land on another. From there you’ll embark on a quest to survive, discover, explore and fight your way across an infinite universe,” it reads.
“You’ll encounter procedurally generated creatures and weapons, discover populated villages and abandoned temples. Explore planets dotted with dungeons, eyeball trees and treasure.
“Make use of over a hundred materials and over one thousand in-game objects to build a sprawling modern metropolis or a sleepy secluded cabin in the woods, and do all of it alone or with friends!”
