Spritebound - Concept art
In the name of the lulz, I decided it'd be an interesting diversion to try add the Avali into Starbound as a custom race. You can see here some of my theorycrafting (and the resulting sprite).
As of writing the project is probably halfway done, with the major animation groups completed and polished (run/jump/weapon/tool anims), a selection of hairstyles and full set of emotes done. Still need to do the swim/walk animations, and polish up the back end coding.

Still very much in early beta, got a long way to go before it's out, but it's looking hot to be the next minecraft; achieving most-played game on steam in it's first week of early access, even though it's still early beta, an indy game and had almost no publicity besides word of mouth :p

Yes and no. There's half a dozen default races to pick from with their own lore/backstory/racial equipment and you can customize their appearance/gender, but it's not a function of the game to invent entirely new races.
The game is however incredibly easy to mod, adding new races is as simple as a couple of sprite sheets and text files if you have the art skills, and more involved modding can be done using LUA and JSON scripts to drastically change how the game plays. Even at this stage of beta there's at least a dozen custom races out and no doubt many more to come (half of those furry :p)

I do indeed - in the long run, it'll even have randomised avali settlements with their own codex entries and placeables, the character sprites are mostly done now, spent most of today laying plans and finalising concept stuff for the armour sets. You can see the WIP progress on here now:

lets see how far this race has come... as a simple Idea to the top most downloaded race so far.... and as you said in your rare journals, a race that demands a new number just so it can move higher on the top download list... perhaps... a squigly line, i'll demonstrate as I break it up into layers!
base line: ~
line #2: ^
line #3: _
last line: |
so as ~ with a ^ ontop with _ under it all tied together with a |
it'll be pronounced... hona, Ho(like santa)- Nah (the exclamitory: "Nah, i'd rather not")

Since i posted this (Funny to see how unassuming I thought the mod'd be) I've had to set up a wiki, which I think should make things fairly clear :p

The best description I've heard was a "4 earred jerboa raptor" :p
