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 updated the block game FAQ found at https://enikofox.com/blockgame

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

i can now spawn sticks under/near trees during chunk generation :3

they don't do anything special, since you can get sticks from breaking leaf blocks, but it's just a little touch that makes the world feel more alive

@eniko Now you need stones to complete the rhyme. And a bone fracture model.
