Hey Guys, We've been working on a crafting and building game that may be a possible Minecraft and Star Bound killer.  Let us know what you think.

You're too late.  I already killed Minecraft last week.

It didn't drop any good loot.

That trailer was pretty impressive, especially building the ship and then piloting it, and the outer space visuals. You should check it out, guys.

You're not going to get any fans by saying you made a Minecraft/Starbound killer. Make your own identity, don't try to piggyback on those games to get people interested. Just saying it's "like Minecraft but..." is going to make a lot of people dismiss and ignore your game.

I'm not trying to be harsh, just honest. Your game looks really cool, and it's something I'd support. But making such bold claims will probably do more harm than good in the long run, especially while you're trying to gain attention and exposure.

One question:
Can you play in third-person?

And some of those screenshots such as this one seem more like conceptual mock-ups than actual gameplay. Is that the actual UI, actual footage?

Exactly this, people will just compare these games with you forever and see this game as a "wannabe", that's what happened to the first Killzone on the PS2 anyway, the "Halo Killer".

The game is looking great but do your thing without mentioning Minecraft or Starbound, it's better that way.

While I like the competitive fire, you're not going up against Minecraft by the time you're out, you're up against No Man's Sky.
