They’re extremely valuable, very rare and very difficult to dig up. “Since the Novakids have a short memory (and attention span), diplomatic relations can be strained at times because of their completely different composition to other lifeforms, Novakids are sometimes unable to grasp the nuances of interracial social interactions, and have thus attained a slightly dubious reputation amongst other races.”įossils are the remains of long dead creatures scattered throughout Starbound‘s universe. They will also be fully integrated into the game’s lore. The race is styled after old-west style gunslingers, and they will be added to the base game and be playable upon release. The Novakids are described as “interstellar gas-bag people”, having no real home planet or point of origin. They raised the half a million and then some, recently hitting $1 million mark in total pre-orders and reaching the Novakid stretch goal, as well as two additional goals at $750,000 and $1 million: fossils and starter pets.
A modest stretch goal of $500,000 was posted, promising the inclusion of the Novakids, a brand new playable race, if the funds were raised.
Starbound, the space-themed spiritual successor to 2D pixel-art sandbox RPG Terraria, opened pre-orders earlier this year, in a crowdfunding-style fundraiser. A new playable race, fossils, and starter pets will be added to the game on release due the team reaching all 3 of its crowdfunding stretch goals.
