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

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 How many of them magically grant validity of government?
(Yes Keith I am still outraged by that)

@MachineLordZero I don't get it

@eniko Several governments, including England, Australia, and I think even the US, have a magic stick granted to them by a queen that for some reason is legally required for their governments to govern.

@eniko Years back, in England, someone grabbed the stick with the intent to remove it from the room in protest of whatever was going on, and everyone in there lost their shit.
Then someone, possibly Keith, explained it to me, and I lost my shit in turn BECAUSE IT'S A FUCKING STICK. A STICK.

@eniko Consent of the governed? Not important.
Magic stick from some dead fuck who by chance was extruded from the right womb? Mandatory, apparently!

@eniko At least when I propose "kill them and take their stuff", it's honest and doesn't rely on hoo hoo bananas sparklefarts.
