The V before the 3 is still a dev prefix in this case, I guess I never mentioned it 
maybe i should call it gamma, after alpha and beta lol.
But I never liked having to subdivide 1 so much, so I ditched the actual āalphaā but to many people, this is the alpha equivalent.
V3 will be an early access release in 2017 then 1.0 will be an official priced release after that.
Try V era.release.build
Where era would be 0 alpha, 1 beta, 2 gamma, 3ā¦ future revisions
Where release would be ++ to a major update which composes of all the buildā¦
Where build would be any hotfix or silent updates for QOL
That makes way more sense to me now. Before I assumed that devs just did rough mathematical estimates of what number their āprogressā would equate too.
my bad, major facepalm lol.
Anyway I guess Iāve decided that before V3ās release in 2017, there will be many early access releases leading up to it based on that umbering system Hydroque just described. The teaser is still for 3.0 though.
That leaves me estimating that the next Time a download comes on here it will be V0.3.5
Aside from that, another track for the OST has been crafted, itās different but I kinda like it.

How is it?
Can you give us a download?
Iād craft a pickaxe to that
TritonForge 0.3.2 gets put on Greenlight in August. Will be 5$
That pickaxe must be made of solid diamond and forged with plasma thenā¦ ;D
Added human generation to TF. Spent too much time just watching new types of people spawn
A friend came over today and he ended up doing the same for quite some time as well haha.
This is way too amusing considering the humans donāt do anything but walk around at the moment.
Skin color, hair color and clothing color are all independant, and each characteristic is taken from a spritesheet of variations. It turned out working better than I anticipated in all honesty.
Seems like they all have nice butts.
What you could do is use a system to where you draw your sprite sheet in a grayscale, then use that information with a color chosen at random - so you have have literally millions of color combinations 
Had to make the butts nice man, absolutely had to. 8)
Thatās exactly what I did actually with everything except skin color. Just need to add more clothing and hairstyles. Also pants, I need to make them wear pants because rn none of them are haha.
Aside from that, just thought Iād mention that Iām going on a trip to stay with my father for a while. Iāll be bringing my portable USB dev kit but Iām not sure if Iāll ever get around to popping it in a computer while Iām there. So there may or may not be any updates for around 10 days. Maybe Iāll post in the What I did today thread every once in while if Iām bored.
So farewell JGO, for now.
Got back from the trip yesterday and popped open the IDE for the first
time in just over a week today.
Added pants to the humans and uploaded a sample video.

Please note that the human animations are slower than usual due to the lag caused by the screen recorder.
You use Delta for movements and stuff?
Yeah, I just never got around to using Delta for the Human specific animations.
I tried before and it required debugging so I decided to push it off to the side for the time being.
After about 9 hours of headaches these past 2 days, shaders are useable in this game and I have began to experiment with them.
This specific water shader is a bit buggy as you will see in the bottom left, but I am happy that I finally got around to learning basic GLSL because I have been wanting to use this in projects Iāve had way back before TF but just couldnāt learn how to do it.
Aside from shaders, Iāve been brainstorming for points of interest in the game, and the first to be drawn in was a sky tower on a floating island (it can be seen in the background).
POIs like this will be accessible through portals and the ādigital deepā biomes seen earlier in this thread will be recreated as independent maps accessible through tiered portals as well.
You should work on anti aliasing and smoothing the hard corners on the terrainās edges sometime.
Topic unlocked! :point:
Summer development started once more, this post highlights some of the key additions/changes.
Among other things, I have a rough idea for the timeline of the game and the course of events too. Hopefully I can polish the engine work enough soon so that I can focus on implementing the campaign and quests
EDIT: You can choose between a small, medium, large OR custom sized world once you decide to start a new game. World Generation time has been significantly reduced, and the Garbage Collector has been tuned and no longer causes regular stutters.
Small: 3200x1200
Medium: 4800x1400
Large: 6400x1600
A large world is insanely big, take a look (player is 1x2 blocks)

That looks pretty fun to explore, but I wonder if you could apply some kind of modifier using a low frequency of noise to create more variety at a larger scaleā¦ that map looks very homogenous in general, where ever you go you are guaranteed to find similar structures of caves and resources. where ever you are, you can be sure that you can dig a few blocks in one direction and quickly find a new tunnel.
Iāve considered that, itās definitely a good idea.
It might be good to have so many tunnels though (the get wider as you get deeper) because the biome variations are set to alter or erase many of the ones you can see atm.
Definitely will have to do something for such a big map though.
Hi all, just posting to show that Iāve brought this back (againā¦ ik), and have begun to port it to Libgdx. Updates will be posted here and hints at what I have planned for the gameās narrative.
The physics have been completely overhauled so far and many backend systems have been made more versatile.
Next on the list is a new HUD and new world generation algorithms, then more cosmetics.
Afterwards Iāll start implementing portals and areas (the overworld will basically be a randomly generated hub world between towns and realms)
Cheers
new OST for a pub or shop or townā¦ not sure yet
