I’m VERY excited about this game – not surprising since I’ve been following its development for ages now – and today marks the next step in the games release as the folks over at Chucklefish games have just opened up pre-orders for the space exploration adventure title.

Following a tiered scheme, potential buyers are able to choose which level they want to buy, with the cheapest resting at $15 that grants beta access and a steam key for the game’s final release, all the way up to the crazy $2000 option that allows you to essentially live inside the game (as a statue at least).

If you have a hankering for some space exploration, head on over to the Starbound website to get your pre-order today.

EDIT: It would appear there are going to be goals released for reaching certain milestones of pre-order funding, with an entire new race concept flying in out of nowhere – currently draped over the summary ticker as a tasty treat – promising to add a new race called 'the Novakid' into the game if the funding reaches a goal of $500,000. This may be easier than you think, as whilst I’m currently writing this, the grand total is already at a whopping $285.453.

Alongside the announcement of the new race, those dastardly fellows have also released an entire bio page dedicated to the planned race, which can be found here.
