I think they mean they will hit version 1.0 in 2015 not that they already met it.

Not that... you couldn't interpret it your way currosivechains given... they said that before.

currosivechains?  Can't tell if that's just a typo or if you're being churlish.

As to giving up on the roadmap...doesn't matter, they took money both from pre-orders and Steam sales based on it.  A scam-artist by any other name seems only acceptable as "Indie Game Developer".

Do we really have to get into another one of these arguments, again? FFS

Has anyone played the new boss in the nightlies yet? I'm still sticking with the unstable build, so I haven't seen it, but the end of that dungeon really felt like it was building up to a boss battle, so I'm glad they're putting one in there.

Yeah, no. They don't give a date for 1.0 (and, granted, that's probably wise, given their track record with development time). They do specifically state that the January update is not 1.0:

We also pushed all of our recent changes to Starbound to the unstable branch just before Christmas! In case you missed it, this post has all the info you need to switch to the unstable branch and get a sneak peek at what’s coming to the main beta.

January is explicitly still beta.

@corrosivechains: No. Stop. This was the main thing that shat up the old thread. I don't particularly like CF, but this isn't the place to keep ranting over and over about old news or stir up the same stale arguments. If you've got anything new or non-bait to contribute, feel free to do so. Otherwise stow it. There are other places, like youtube comment sections.

Thank you FD. I, honestly, am p. happy with the game and its updates. I would be upset if this game is left unfinished - there's a lot of value to be had here after some good old polishing. I quite like the missions idea. I hope they let us steal those crates soon >m> that would be nice. They're good storage containers.

I love the new world. The only thing I wish was possible was for the 3-D printer to handle raw blocks.

Maybe I'll have to build my own mod. Something that reads and destroys blocks specifically, then allows you to transmogrify other blocks into scanned blocks. So I don't have 6 different stacks of differently-coloured dirt.

Spoiler: "Kaiju mode gogogo" (click to show/hide)

So this makes me happy. Hopefully we'll start seeing more diverse enemy types in different areas, too.

Watching that giant pink dinosaur walk into and fail to climb that two block tall cliff gave me a bit of a chucklefish

Dwarves passing by get good thoughts from the mist of water and exploding felines.
Anyone of the equivalent to the royal bloodline in a nomadic group would have a sun tattooed on their hand, or a scrotum on their forehead (it's a little-known fact that fraternities are based off of long-forgotten tribes).

Don't be coy. You know perfectly well that I was talking about the ranting about CF and scamming. Which had nothing to do with that, except for providing you a new tangent to start it when you conflated this coming to the stable beta in January (maybe, hah) with a vague "1.0 sometime in 2015" statement.
