Damn, that is fascinating. The way i've been dealing with modding in my game is people are allowed to do whatever they want as long as its distributed as patches and not the entire source code. Modding is awesome and i wanna foster it :)

Is the source for this the word of notch blog? its kind of funny that he was so against modding and the game became one of the most modded games in the world

Here's some still images since the video has a lot of outdated footage. I am developing the game so fast that a trailer i edited a month ago is now super out of date already 😅

Thanks! :)

Making your own engine for this is fun too, I went crazy a few weeks ago trying to fix a bug that only affected intel igpus from 2014. But I feel like it is well worth it. I find so much joy in people being able to run the game on whatever computer they have.

I've been trying my hardest to get my game to run on low end hardware, old hardware, or no dedicated gpu for this exact reason. I feel like a game running well on older machines is such a selling point now when most AAA games require the cutting edge to even run at all now.

It's a possibility, I've been kind of tired of editing videos for each update recently, I skipped a video for 0.10 completely. I would like to, its just time consuming and something that its hard to convince myself to work on

I know this is unsolicited advice but what helped me get my game out there a little bit was emailing youtubers in my target audience. Asking youtubers to play the game is the #1 best marketing tool for indies in my opinion.

Turns out the key to making a game is to just wake up one day, start making it, and dont stop making it :P

Atkinson Hyperlegible is the goat

This is a great idea :D I liked how terraria did it with slimes that were an abundant resource. My solution is super boring and uncreative by comparison, just small deposits of coal on the surface. This is looking really good and very excited to see where it goes :)

That sounds pretty awesome. I will add this to my wishlist i think

Ah, it has an NPC village system? That's cool. Thats an aspect I want to explore in my own game, having NPC's with comfort requirements and stuff. I really like what necesse does with it's npcs and i think that would be cool in 3d. Better than making 1x1 prison boxes for mc villagers

I've heard about that game, I gotta try it out sometime. It might have some good ideas

Exactly. I feel like theres also this awkward period where you are working on the engine, so you cant *show* the gameplay yet, so they just assume that you are just going to make a 1:1 minecraft clone with all the same gameplay elements

No matter where i post about my game I will always get people making minecraft clone comments. Somehow people can't get it through their head that games other than minecraft are allowed to exist. They down own 1^3 meter cubes

This looks so good, I am genuinely excited for this. Really, really interested to see what it becomes, and excited to play it in the future
