Scratch

Ok.

Haven't managed to do much, I've been sick a lot recently and haven't felt like doing more. But here's a quick sneak peek:

Here's the planned changelist:

Fully functioning gamemodes: Semi-done
AI improvements: Semi-Done
Sorted out skins: Done
Change of version number: Done (lol :P)

Nice! A GUI for the biome selector would be nice as well.

I like the survival/creative thing too. Maybe add a Horrific game mode or something with really hostile AI and/or permadeath and/or rarer ores?

You may also want to check out this, I based the coding very genrally off of Landminer but as I built it ground up I think some parts may be better and could possibly be implemented into Landminer.

I'd been planning a biome GUI, and I'll try the Horrific gamemode idea. And I love the game, but what aspects of it do you want to be added to Landminer?

I think a time based mining system (click and hold to mine) could be nice along with maybe a few sensing improvements. Ill do the latter (and the first if you don't) after tyou're done.

Currently I'm just working on the gamemodes. Here's the plan for Horrific (it's almost done!):

More powerful mobs (IE They do more damage)
One life
Shorter days
Longer nights
It takes longer to mine.
You only get 7 hearts (5 seemed too few)



Also, there's something which I want added, some sort of food to heal with.
And you know, for the first time ever I just want to sit down and play it. That's never been the case with any Scratch project ever. I've never actually wanted to play any Scratch project this much. Most projects show good programming and skill but aren't actually fun. But you know what, I find landminer fun. :DDDDD

I've also had a few more ideas:

I want it to become more of a building game. I want more blocks and background blocks. I can seriously imagine awesome things with this: Villages, with underground tunnel networks, a spawn tower, an area of land to keep your chicken and pig.


Oh, and btw I just noticed a glitch which I can't be bothered to fix in 3.4: Since the trees are now background layers you can touch the inside of them, some of which are the colour of cacti and you take damage. I want to release it soon so I might not be bothered with that and leave it for 3.4.1 which'll come a bit later. Anyway, it's the rarest type of tree leaves so whatever. 

When you're done I'll try to add a better crafting mechanism and possibly weapons along with building materials.

Oh, and I'll make it so clicking adds blocks if the selector is on air. Dunno why we didn't have this before.

And I just saw this other minecraft project, which was pretty cool. It had working scrolling and all, but the main thing that caught my eye is WORKING TORCHES.

I've been thinking and there are a few things we really need:

A. Waaaaay less laggy nights
B. Torches
C. More blocks
D. Finished GUI
E. Sun + Moon
F. Combat, the current combat is terrible and goblin-only.

Not yet. Can you do that, please?

Random pic time.

By the way, the update is finished but I've spent ages messing around on creative. I'm making an underground city just now, when it's done I'll upload.

Awesome. You could probably do the torch, if you tried. I'm trying to think of a way now.

YOU LET RABBIT ON? (No offense, Rab)

He did an update ages ago, he's not on the team anymore. (Nor is Soup, but he just decided to leave, whereas we kinda decided not to keep rab since we wanted it small).

Oh okay. Cause I remember you saying that, yeah.
Soup and me were talking about this like 3 weeks ago. xD

Just played the latest version and its looking REALLY good. 

Thanks for the support, make sure you download and use full screen. The tiny blocks don't go well with the small player. Can't wait for 2.0, it has online full screen I believe.
