I thought I could download it

Same

I'm resisting the urge to post meme-tastic images about taking my money.

Barely.

DO WANT

[Gabeux]

Great description, loved the idea, still I can't ignore the fact that looks EXACTLY like terraria, with a few differences.
The terraforming/weather control and "find peeps and then build them a house" sounded cool, though. Plus world gen, and planets....

Crap, I'm trying to stop playing too many games...can people go back to that time where no games sounded cool, fun and interesting?
ARGH!

[...]looks EXACTLY like terraria, with a few differences.[...]

 

[Tilla]

I am still repeatedly baffled by the constant comparisons to Terraria. Yah the project lead did the art for Terraria, such as it is. This game sounds more like a sidescrolling Prospector than anything in Terraria.

With the protagonist from Spelunky.

This looks cool, but how long till we can play it ? Cuz posting all these awesome things and then telling us to wait is kinda sadistic.

I WANT, GIVE IT TO MEEEEE!
You are second only to Armok!

kinda sadistic.

Mockery! This is very much sadistic!
I've been waiting a good portion of my life for a game like this, being told that there's a game for me raises my hopes.
Then telling me to wait? I hope you realize that my knives aren't locked up. (Then again, killing you would put a stopper in the development... Should I learn The Secrets of Life and Death?)

Coming out Summer of 2012, according to Devs, so at least we won't have to wait too long

Edit: Looks like there will be a ton of character customization, which is nice. The problem with Terraria I had is just that there was a very small selection of "Personal" Clothing and there was never any really choice for what kind of weapon you always used. There was always something that was just better. Hopefully this game won't have the same problem.

I wasn't that excited from the first pic, but the descriptions from their site sound fantastic. I admit I'm curious what building elements exist, and how they come into play on your planet. Watching with great interest. Glad I don't have many emotional ties to AAA titles anymore.

[Gunner-Chan]

I wonder how much we can customize our characters. And if we could have multiple planets for ourselves if we somehow get bored of our own and would rather have a new one.

Looks cool though.

[Max White]

Looks cool, although I am sceptical as to making difficulty level genned. It is going to lead to some players getting very frustrated when their planet is too hard and they quickly fall behind their friends, while others feeling under challenged and under rewarded for planets that are too easy.
Difficulty curve is an important design choice in making games, while it sounds nice to say that everything is genned, sometimes you need to make choices to shape your game.

[Sirus]

What?! A Bay Watcher that doesn't want random instant death? He's a witch, burn him!

Ok, in all seriousness I'm sure that the final product will be closer to a curve than anything else. I wouldn't mind some amount of variation though; can't you just gen a new world if you come across a bad one?

[Gunner-Chan]

Actually a cool idea would be if it generates your starting area. But gens the rest of the world as you go, altering it based on needs and performance.

Though that's a lot to ask for.

Edit: After digging up some information there's no pre set homeworld planet in a sense. You generate them and you can call one home so everything being generated isn't a big deal. Plus some pre-set "Story" planets for missions and whatever. Source being the pastebin earlier in this topic.
