For the record, Minecraft was also inspired by other games that came before it, particularly Infiniminer. I don't want a million Minecrafts, since the original does what it does well, but I would love to see an exploration of different ideas inspired by Minecraft. I have some vague ideas of where I want to go with mine that would be different than Minecraft and I'd love to see different people's takes on the idea. Yours looks much prettier than mine, though mine seems to run with much better performance (so far) and has infinite random maps (with caves, whee!).Īre you combining meshes, or generating your own meshes? How do you handle mipmapping of the combined textures? Mine shows ugly lines in the distance if I leave mipmapping on.Īnyway, looks awesome and I look forward to seeing where you go with it.ĮDIT: For the record, I think being inspired by a success story like Minecraft is great.
Interesting, I recently started working on a block-building style game myself - primarily to see if I could do something similar to Minecraft and random map generation. Oh, yea, and I meant “skip” in the last feedback post A fotocam sound when you make a photo would make it easier for the people being photographed to know when they can move again The last crit is super simple, but yet effective. For instance, the possibility to write stuff that just your friends can see, or be able to see directly at the server list on which servers your friends are, are missing totally. The friends list is a nice idea, but could use some tweaking. I don’t think that weapons would fit into the game, but some kind of throwing cubes at other players when they F*** something up or just look in the wrong direction would be a funny touch. Also a non commercial method of changing the flag on the players belly would be nice and help the social aspect allot. This would defiantly add some atmosphere and is not that hard to implement. Example: You write a and the player character makes a sad face, etc. The current face impression depends on smilies you are using in game. I don't talk about changing material settings, but just give the player the opportunity to make his own textures and then upload them so that every player can use them. One of my biggest wishes for the game are selfmade blocks. Hosts should be able to forbid building for all other players on that server with the effect that someone could make actually jump'n run levels, and then invite people to play that. These things would add a nice gameplay touch to the game. For instance some kind of wind Block that pushes you away from his position, blocks that fade from passable to non-passable, etc. There will be way more people working on the game then ever before.Click to expand.Especially the physic cubes would be a big improvement. I do not know any of their plans yet, but I'm sure they'll be big and I assume they'll share their plans as soon as they are ready.
#WHEN WILL CUBELANDS BE BACK ONLINE REGISTRATION#
It looks like they've disabled registration temporarily.Ģ) Updates & maintenaince: As said before, Upjers is a big player in the browser games field.
As for myself I get to focus on finishing my currently running projects to make room for exciting new projects in the future.ġ) Server transfer: Upjers has already officially acquired Cubelands and it's running on their servers now. Cubelands now has a big game company behind it, which will push the game to a new level. When Upjers contacted me about the possibility to acquire Cubelands I had to make a hard decision, in the end I agreed, and I believe it to be the right choice for both Cubelands and myself.
#WHEN WILL CUBELANDS BE BACK ONLINE FREE#
While finishing University should free up a lot of time, I already/still have too much going on even without University. This was mostly due to the graduating for my Masters (June 2011). It's been a while since I had more then just a few spare minutes time for Cubelands.
