I was chatting with Cervator, there currently is a problem with bundling fonts causing the download to be too large, to combate that I proposed we convert all button text to vector graphics, and to help ease the burden of all the buttons, convert some of them into more universal glyphs. (better...

I was talking game feel/atmosphere/etc, Cervator wanted the community to get a line up of games to play monthy. Media to study to understand why its good, feel, mechanics, and so forth. To more closely understand succesful games (or in this case, successful voxel communities)

This is a thread for queing up games to draw inspiration from, take notes on, and other random data. (as requested by Cervator) Tekkit Classic Server currently running on 159.203.169.143 , come join us! Cervators Pick: Space Engineers http://www.spaceengineersgame.com/ Dwarf Fortress...

Chunk size - if chunks are smaller: less data is sent until its needed. This can help the networking aspect, and works as a simple anti-cheat for xray. You can xray if we haven't even sent you the blocks! easier, and more verbose metadata. fewer blocks means that its easier to analyze chunks...

idle thoughts: Chisel - shaping already placed stone type blocks. The Problem: In minecraft, sculpting a mountain into a statue is common, but empty, as theres no real reason to do it because building the statue from scratch is faster. As it were, its easier to build David from loose stones...

Personally I like the glyphs, as the more square nature seems to fit voxel better. (and some scripts would be very hard to read on small thing). Now on the the actual langauge. There should be a custom font, but that won't be a language. There should be a simplistic emote like interplayer...

that 20 photo limit is annoyinh

If any of you have requests, voice them, since i've just been aimlessly dicking around with the world terrain gererators and graphical settings. imgur did a number on the 5k images, so i'll just directly upload it via imgur once we get them picked out. we should really have some commands to...

Some basic low quality ones for now. Still need pictures of other modules like JS and polyworld

Something like this for settings: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/terrain-control (or maybe just a new terrain generator if thats not possible) (and world settings like this http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Theme ) Things wanted: basic things like height/amplitude, etc, maybe some fun...

"Asset module - plain art / passive content module, possibly with basic block/model definitions. Example: LASR, Minerals, Soils" Passive content and plain art should be seperate. There should be some kind of cosmetic module catagory, AKA, resource packs/texture packs, shader, etc. Stuff...

1 and 2 seems fitting. Although when I started it up it instantly gave me a kind of D&D feel. Towns being encounters, paths between them perhaps for monsters and RP, the world has a tiled look of a board. Perhaps farther player grouping/clans can be developed and have moster attacks trigger...

Perhaps have other "player enitity" API hooks or sockets of some sorts. The ability to create basicly false players, or hook in existing ones, so It can be feed data about the world. Imagine instead of having to screen record for lets plays, you could just set a player permissions to something...

"Accept that we really have been alpha-ready for some time now and need to just tear off that band-aid already then come out from the shadows" *cough* make more of a preasents in /r/feedthebeast asking for ideas, opinions, and offering work shops and guides if they want to make/covert their...
