If you haven't heard, it's been announced that Terraria will no longer receive any content updates and the game is officially finished.

One of the Devs wanted to continue the experience along with a new team and make it space themed. It's called Starbound.

The game begins with the main player escaping his home planet shortly after it is destroyed by an unknown enemy. The escape pod wanders aimlessly through space, but luckily, it crashes in an abandoned space station. According to Lead Developer Finn "Tiy" Brice, players will be tasked with repairing this station and bringing it back to life whilst investigating those behind the homeworld attack.

Planets are randomly generated on which the space pod lands on. These will have very unique features to them, each one having a different theme of planet from the next. They will have codes, or coordinates, that are generated with the world. If these coordinates are given out, they can allow a player to visit another player's planet. Each planet is planned to be unique, with different types of terrain that appears, procedurally generated foliage, weather, day/night cycles, gravity levels, enemy appearance and behaviour, materials, color of materials and foliage, and various backdrops.


Scheduled to release sometime this summer.
