I played it for a few minutes and I really loved the art. The controls are fairly smooth too. Nice work!

hwinwuzhere, thank you very much! =)

Please, please, please, set the orientation to “sensor landscape” instead of “landscape.” It isn’t your fault (the Google sdk/Eclipse plugin does not make it clear and I think different devices respond differently) and you are by no means the only one who does this (big devs do it too; example: a recent update to the 4od app means you have to browse programs in fixed orientation but you can watch them in either. WTF?) but it really annoys me. I don’t know why non-sensor landscape even exists.

Sorry to rant without even mentioning your game (I can’t try it now because sitting at my desk with my tablet charging, the cable isn’t long enough to flip it so your game is upside down).

#5

quew8, no problem! Update 1.0.8 include it.

#6

Its a very beautiful game and its a shame it hasnt been recognised by more people… :emo:

#7

Yes! I feel the same.

#8

Thanks, guys!
I will add night, new light system and dynamic background very soon.
Also hell, some items and more enemies.
And multiplayer on the way :wink:

I played for an hour or so the other night, It’s really nice apart from a couple of things i found annoying. i dislike that animals spawn inside the house that I build even though it was all blocked off. having different colors of dirt makes it hard to match them properly and thats not really cool. playing on my phone is pretty fiddly compared to a computer already, so if you can simplify a few things like that it would help… even the trees might be better if they all just give one color of wood too. (various styles of chair is fine though for some reason lol) grass should die when its enclosed by my house building.

apart from that, i think the only thing i had an issue with was mining tiles, when youre touching a tile, you cant see it. now thats quite obvious but it feels wrong cos i want to see what is happening to the block that im trying to interact with. you could allow the player to drag their finger away after starting to mine a block, and have it continue mining that block perhaps. just some random ideas.

#10

I’ve played for a little bit and it is beautifully polished. The one question I have is: what is the difference between the free and paid versions? Obviously there is the 1 character \ 1 world limit and I guess no adverts on the paid version but is there anything else?

#11

quew8, thank you! You’re right, and also no Ruby and tools/weapon and armor from ruby. Later will be more limitations. I mean new resources like new ore and things, but all, what you can get now will be available.

LiquidNitrogen, thank you to! Before i begin - man, it’s less than 1 week since game published ) Many things will be done later, because it’s not a hobby project - i have a lot of time and desire to work on it.
Animals spawn only on dirt, stone, sandstone and clay. You need make different floor, to avoid it. Don’t live on the ground! )))
Different colors of dirt - it’s only way what i found before bioms will be done, because one color looks not really cool.
More trees types is ready, but need to be added in the game. Not all in one time )))
About “one touch mining” - i will add it for you, but i need time to test it. Right now it’s only way.
Art-creator is really tired )))) But we try to make all fast, as we can.

#12

Ah right, well if you want more people to buy the full version, I suggest making it more clear what people in the free version are missing out on because last I checked the descriptions if the full and free version on Google Play were exactly the same. No mention in game either.

The only thing I am not liking so much is the combat. It doesn’t feel like you are hitting something; the knock back helped but enemies were jumping all over the place anyway; so my other suggestion is some combat particle effects like blood spilling or something. If you don’t want to go too gory then a hit animation would probably work as well but I understand that is more work, especially if your “art-creator” is tired.

And thanks for the screen orientation thing. Much appreciated. Keep up the good work.

#13

  • Game now is totally free!
  • Tons of bug fixes.
  • Updated engine.
  • Released on OUYA and Razer Cortex / Forge TV.

Another 2d minecraft?
The assets listed that the game gives is good, but the 2d blocks turned me off.
After dealing with kids and minecraft for the past how many years, I am sick of it.
Sick. Of. It.

Nice progress work tho, you’re popping it out like a true G.

#15

Very nice art. I especially like the trees and their variations.

Any plans for a PC release?

#16

Really smooth and well designed movement and interaction in general :point:

UI nitpicking: some of the onscreen text is too small and the player/world selection was confusing at first bc the bars you need to click to load do not look like buttons at first sight.

#17

Thank you, guys, for response!

Hydroque, hah, just don’t play in this game :slight_smile: I also don’t like many “mainstream” games, but it doesn’t mean nobody likes.

Longarmx, thanks! I have a plan to re-release Craft King for OSX (it was), but after i’ll done with TODO list like multiplayer, liquids, items, character tuning and couple “secret” things :slight_smile: Ubuntu store - possible, but have small issues with it. I tried before, but 2 months any reaction from review team. No “yes” or “no”. Strange guys. Windows - of course, but i need done with new things.

VaTTeRGeR, thanks! Yes, i know it :slight_smile: I’m working on new UI system - much better visually.
