Eager to see some screenshots

Alright I'm uploading a video right now.

Interesting... I see that you took a different approach on a few things than I did. I like the idea of building by using the mouse like that, but it seems more like it would be for a map editor, not saying it's a bad idea. If you need any testers, sign me up.

The mouse point is limited in range (or will be) like minecraft.

added recent log removed glitches + added demo for people to use.

Some suggestions for you:

• The controls are kind of confusing for building. I would personally prefer mouse support for the building rather than keyboard.


• Building and destroying doesn't seem to always work. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong on this...


• You should use Blizz-ABS


• Lot's of lag with events, but you already know that.


• I'm didn't really look in to how you setup the items to work when building, but you should consider using the database. It makes configuration much easier in my opinion. For example, instead of putting the tile id in the script, set it as the price or whatever of an item in the database and then just use $data_items[id].price. I'm sure your way is fine though.

Looks pretty good overall though. I'll look forward to more in the future.

My opinions on your suggestions:
The controls are kind of confusing for building. I would personally prefer mouse support for the building rather than keyboard. -- Alright
Building and destroying doesn't seem to always work. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong on this... -- You can't overwrite older tiles (delete them first)
You should use Blizz-ABS -- to lazy to convert but I might
Lot's of lag with events, but you already know that. -- fixing this

Right this should be as good as closed I am working on a Game Maker 8.0 pro version of this:

I will open a different thread for the game maker version.

I think it looks really good, but I'm worried that now it's going to be too much like Minecraft with no reason to play this instead. Just a thought.

lol, I guess but it will be free for those who can't buy it + it will also have some different features to it.
