At Playful Corp we just released our new game on Steam early access. It's in the sandbox / block building genre. It's still in devleopment, but it's pretty bug free. We are looking for feedback on everything from gameplay to art. I did animation and technical art on the project. Steam…
Yes!! Lack of such things in minecraft is entirely for aesthetic reasons, blocks can even be unique meshes these days. I think Creativerse with its more high-end look could really make good use of more blocks that weren't just a block, tufts of grass hanging off the ledge of the top dirt to grass block for example?
looks really nice, great textures! but i dont see any big differences from minecraft, is there any features that pushes it further? the video makes me think it would have more rpg elements than minecraft, but the steam page fails to mention any.
would it be possible to round off the edges of the boxes that arent touching edges of another box, so you get a chamfered soft edge look on the boxes, just swapping them in and out based on the logical rules of what its connected to. could make things look a lot more neater and interesting, like soft corners on stone…
Any plans to have diagonal blocks be placed procedurally later? Having naturally smooth terrain alone would go a hell of a long way toward making it look distinct from Minecraft.
