The dev is giving away 100 copies but didn't post much information on the game, so I figured I'd post more about it here.

Starbound is essentially a vastly upgraded version of Terraria in space, with an endless number of worlds to explore instead of being confined to the one you're playing on. You get a spaceship, seven races to choose from and randomly generated monsters on each planet to keep you from encountering the same things over and over. :)

You can see a building demo here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=cU56Kh731Q0

Screenshots here: http://playstarbound.com/media/

Listen to some pieces of the soundtrack for free here: http://playstarbound.com/soundtrack/

And play around with the character creator here: http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?pages/charcreator/

Hopefully if these guys get a lot of preorders off of giving away a bunch of copies of their game on Steamgifts, the devs might create preorder giveaways for the other games they're publishing too like Wanderlust Rebirth, Treasure Adventure World and Stardew Valley. :D

You can play alone, or host / join a server with as many people as the host can manage. You could easily have a server with several hundred or thousand people on it, if the host's machine and connection were powerful enough.

how does the progress work then, will it be like terraria's system where your character and items are the same in SP and MP?

I believe there will be an option to keep the characters local to the server.

Yeah, unlike in Terraria you have the option to either allow anyone to bring their characters onto your server, or you can make people roll up entirely new characters specific to your server with saves stored on your side of the computer. That ought to prevent the inventory hackers from ruining everyone's fun like they did in Terraria. :P

Looks like the 100 lucky people got access to the Soundtrack now, the beta when it's open and Steam keys when it's out. :P Hopefully they'll post their impressions when it's out.

By the way, you can get the game for $11.25 if you buy into a 4-pack at the lowest tier. So that's a good idea if you and a bunch of friends want it cheaper than it will be at launch on Steam. :D
