Spent the past few days speeding up the cave generation by about 4x.
Heres a showcase of how quickly new caves can now be generated:

Missing the UI, but this is the witches hut used for enchanting your tools!

Polished up the upgrading UI, so now the blacksmith UI is finished!
I find UI to be one of the most difficult aspects of creating a game, but I'm very happy with how it looks!
I would be interested in hearing any feedback regarding how it looks/functions!

Item Upgrading Concept
I liked the idea of upgrades being associated with specific parts of your tools, and I think visually its far more interesting that a boring list of upgrades.
Other upgrades like the sword and player will use a similar system!

Showcase of a main menu prototype and the smelting interface!
Took a unique aproach, where each menu is linked with the 3D environment (which is currently just cubes).
Let me know what you think!

Yesterday I got to exhibit Magical Mining at #VFS24!
I had a blast showing off the game so far and got some really valuable feedback that will help shape a better final product!
I also hope to release this demo on itch.io in the coming week for those interested, so stay tuned!

The final stage was to make a shader to apply these values to each tile based on their position, creating the lighting effect you see below!

I could then rely on Unity's texture filtering to smoothen out the light, recreating Minecraft's smooth lighting.
This makes it look a lot more natural.

Each tile is given a light value from 0-15, based on it's walkable distance to the nearest torch.
It then bakes all these values into a custom lightmap texture, resembling the shape of the cave.

I came up with my own solution, using Minecraft's light-level system for inspiration.
Due to the voxel nature of my game, as well as the flat terrain and static environment, copying the system was fairly simple.

For this game, I had to avoid using Unity's built-in lighting solutions.
Baking wasn't possible due to the procedural generation, and real-time lighting with multiple lights was overkill on a mobile device.
