I know i haven't posted news for a while but i have still been working on starbound daily.  Right now im working on the difficult framework for colonies.  I have been doing some modelling for the buildings and im working on getting all the boring stuff done so i can easily create multiple planets which can be populated with unique colonies.  You will be able to place building anywhere you like and the colony design is up to you.  More updates and screenshots will be coming soon!

    The first enemy: the laser droid.  Can now follow a target and fire at it when its close enough to make a hit and when its aimed properly.  Here is the next breakthrough in the game:

    You can barely see the tiny little droid but it shooting laser blasts right towards the ship.  I will continue adjusting the Behaviours of the computer controlled enemies to make them smarter and more of a challenge.

I have made a rough model of a laser droid that patrols an area of space and shoots at any enemy that approaches it.

I now have all the framework for my game done.  Now you will see some more exiting updated in the next while.

    This isn't probably the most exiting update but starbound now has a collision engine!  Now i can move on with other things that require detecting if two objects have collided like a laser beam and another ship! 

    Development of starbound is going great im adding new things every day so i will try to post an update at least twice a week so keep checking in.  I have done alot in starbound so far such as creating a relistic mouse controled flight system and i have created a framework to add new weapons easily.  Most of the work i have been doing was behind the scenes but here is a little screenshot of what i have so far:
