block game's first crafting gameplay loop is in! \o/ break leaves to get sticks, combine with flamereeds to get torches, place torches to light up the darkness
no particle/emissive textures system yet so the torches look a bit club-like, sorry
starting a new dev thread to mark the occasion, previous posts can be found here: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@eniko/115418239486943047
i have redone the torch to look a bit better until i can get a particle system going
filed under "things block game does that minecraft doesn't," it can now handle rotated (oriented) bounding boxes. and also you can now target entities that are lying around the world :3
people keep asking about modability and (aside from reskinning the gui) i now have an answer
block game uses an entity component system so i've made a json file for entity templates so i can easily create entities. so if nothing else you'll be able to mod the game by editing this file
@eniko i mean, it is C# .net right? so... we can just do whatever we want relatively easy i guess, especially with some debug data...
it is nice to have access to as much data oriented stuff as we can though, as long as it doesn't impact your development too much
