Bugs and Notes:

Bugs:
* Can jump multiple times whilst in water
* Can jump multiple times if pressed up against walls (wall jumping?)
* Sometimes items can replace other items (duplication glitch when changing slot)
* Some blocks don't snap perfectly to the grid for some reason
* Sometimes chunks don't generate close to spawn (don't worry, the void is bouncy)

Bugs in PR2 Only:
* Can't break item frames
* Can't break doors
* Can't break cake
* Can't break beds
* Can't pop balloons
* Animals don't like my rewritten block system

Notes:
* Crafting is not implemented
* The inventory is kinda crap
* The textures are probably not going to stay like that

Credit to RealTutsGML on YouTube for the base code! (However almost none of that is left now (and 90% of the game is entirely my code))

Let me know what you think!

This is pretty neat. What did you write it in? I'm guessing C#, because of the long start up time and the exit dialog.

Going to test it out right now( will have to use Mozilla to download it, Chrome seems to see it as a malicious file )
Edit: Just tried it, seems pretty cool but it's currently very buggy :P/>

Some bugs I found

Don't know if these are bugs or not, You might not have gotten to it yet :P/>
* You can't stack properly
* You can't craft

These seem more like bugs xP
* When walking right or left, then pressing E and then pressing escape the spritesheet animation seems to get stuck with the walking one
* It may show that you have 5 dirt blocks or whatever, but if you place it it uses the whole stack

The numbers in the item bar are the slot numbers, not the stack size. I think you might be confusing the two.

Hmm? They decrease when dropping them with Q :P/>

Just so everyone is informed, he made this with a program called game maker, he followed tutorials by RealTutsGML. Just making sure RealTuts gets credit where needed.

So basically, he didn't make this in a real programming language.

The game is pretty neat.
Maybe the textures can be a little better, but otherwise its nice :)/>

Bug:

Spoiler

When you are in 2-block-deep water, you can 'double jump. Sometimes even triple.

The entire game is written in GML. And yes,

this means I DID make it in a programming language. Exactly 0% of the game was made with the drag and drop, unless you count my having to use the 'Execute Code' piece.

I did have built in credits which included him in 1.0.0.0, which I initially intended to be the first public release, however I must have forgotten to add the menu button :/ (But he is credited in one of the splashes)

I haven't finished the inventory yet XD

I haven't done anything with crafting yet.
The sticky walking animation is a known bug, fixed in PR2
And, as I said, I haven't finished the inventory, stacking isn't finished.

Thanks!
I'm not exactly the best texture artist, maybe someone here can make some new textures?

Bug has been known since water was first implemented, will hopefully be fixed for PR2.


Thanks for the feedback guys, I appreciate it. Will add Known Bugs section to post now, and credit to RTGML.

The screenshots look very nice!
Even if it's written for Windows it works like a charm using Wine ^^

Well, you aren't coding with a real language but you are coding, its a language called game maker language and he is actually coding it but he is using gamemaker to handle all his events. Game maker is just as good as coding your own game if you know how to use it.

With Game Maker I can't confuse the player with things like Windows's speech bubble notifications, which is an essential element in my games.

Well what a coincidence. I'm also making a 2d version of MC in GML, but am no where near as far ahead as you are :P/>. Any chance of open sourcing this project? I'd like to see how you do the infinite worlds.

As I've said, the base code was made by RealTutsGML, you can see his code on YouTube and it is very similar to the infinite generation code I currently use. (though I will have to change it to get rid of the chunks not spawning bug :/) Open source is something I've been considering, I'll most likely open source once 1.0.0.0 is complete.

Games like this and Goat Sim need the bugs! they are an essential part of the game!

Grass shouldn't glow, should it?

Sneak Peek

Sneak Peek

Uhmm.. I don't think so ( atleast not that bright :P/> ) IMO you the blocks shouldn't be all black at night, they should be a little lighter so you could tell a small difference between them.

Expect for night to be lighter in the next PreRelease.

In the mean time, here's another

Sneak Peek or Two (Or Three...)

Crafting is a thing. (Crafting Tables also can be crafted, as well as sticks. In the crafting table you can craft wood pickaxes, stone pickaxes, furnaces and chests.)


All of the main materials.
Top row, left to right: Coal, Diamond, Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, Amber, Quartz, Kunzite, Iron, Tin, Gold, Copper, Lead, Lapis Lazuli, Onyx, Amazonite, Amethyst, Jade, Silver, Aluminium, Bronze, Obsidian.
Bottom row, left to right: Zinc, Brass, Steel, Electrum, Nickel, Cobalt, Uranium

Also, since taking that screenshot I've added Titanium. I have no idea why I love adding materials so much. Also, why are so many metals freaking grey?
(And now I'm adding Sulfur, Silicon and Magnesium)


EDIT:
Top Row, Left to Right: Coal, Iron, Copper, Tin, Lead, Gold, Lapis Lazuli, Onyx, Diamond, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, Amber, Quartz, Kunzite, Amazonite, Amethyst, Jade, Silver, Aluminium, Zinc, Nickel, Cobalt
Bottom Row, Left to Right: Obsidian, Uranium, Titanium, Sulfur, Silicon, Magnesium, Mercury, Platinum, Bronze, Brass, Steel, Electrum

Bronze, Brass, Steel and Electrum are Alloys, and as such do not have ores.

What is the intent of +10 different ores?

Also since when was obsidian an ore?
It's volcanic glass, ie formed when lava cools

More building materials?

You will see, in time…

(In the end, they will all hopefully have different uses, such as radioactivity (uranium, plutonium and iridium), electricity producing and conveying (copper, gold, electrum, tin), lasers, clocks (quartz), etc. plus varying tiers of tools and armour)

But for now, they just provide more building materials, as Win7 said.

I don't know, this isn't reality. It will eventually be created in a more realistic manner, but for now, I added an ore for simplicity.

I created a wiki the other day and made a couple of pages, but I would like some help documenting things! If you wish to, you can help!
The wiki is here!

In the meantime, I'm working on a Plugin API! Information about how to make plugins and what capabilities they will have is on the wiki. They will hopefully come around with 1.0.0.0 PR3, but may have to wait until PR4.

Unfortunately, PR3 is still quite a fair way away. I'm modularising the code a LOT in 1.0.0.0, and currently I'm moving pretty much every possible variable that I use into a lookup table, which will not only make for better code, but also will allow the Plugin API to be possible.

Anywho, time to get back to coding, I hope to have stage 1 of the lookup table done by the end of tomorrow, and stage 1 of the Plugin API done by the end of the week. Then I will revisit crafting, making it much better to code, then I will remake the entire inventory and GUI system, then I need to move all animals into one object, then I need to move fluids into a separate object to the blocks, then stage 2 of the lookup table and API…
