    I can't believe I only found this now, it looks like a great game (although I won't be able to play it until I get a PC). I do have a small suggestion that could add in an incentive to travel away from the monolith(?), what if you made some destroyed ones around the world, maybe even in the other biomes. It would give players a better chance to explore and create other bases around the world, and if you make some form of teleportation with the mushrooms from the snowy forest, it would add in a late game accomplishment.

  • @Jormungandr633
    @Jormungandr633 4 години тому

    I think colder biomes should be more common the feather north you get and less so the feather south you get, this should carry over to other biomes in a logical fashion, also, plants of the same species should favor growing closer to one another because it’s easier to pollinate like that, the completely random under brush looks unnatural because of it resistance to natural patterns

    Would it be possible to give some insight on how you made the resource nodes/items and placeable blocks? I wanna make my own survival game but dont really know how to start doing stuff like that which will have multiple types of each thing like stone/iron/gold/trees/logs. Should i be using Inheritance with a monobehaviour base class for that with derived classes from it for each type (stone/iron/gold/tree/log)? Great progress so far btw!

    nice video, good game I think it would be nicer if the biomes were next to each other and not through a portal. The game feeling is more immersive in my opinion.

  • @Difinitive-thoughts
    @Difinitive-thoughts День тому

    Just some little things I noticed: * There is screen tearing when the screen shake happens, this is likely due to there being no blur between the pixels. Allowing the pixels to be noticed when shifting. * The grass doesn't look natural. In real life, long pits of grass are made together, due to there strength in collective rooting allowing them to grow upwards more. I think you should try clumping them together more, or having less large variation in types of lengths in grass. (e.g.: small grass with small grass, big with big). And finally; * The cursor for selecting tiles does is not easy to see on the winter and in some cases in the other biomes. This could be fixed by adjusting its brightness and darkness by its background (but not specifically the ground its on, you should focus the brightness on the night and day cycle as well) I've watched many MANY game dev stories, and these things are types of things you as the developer, will get used to and will just probably ignore. This is just me being picky.... Your welcome I guess? Yours truly, Definitive :)

    Is there any conflict or goal in the game? Or its pure collect / craft / build cycle? How would that be interesting for more than 20-30 mins for a player? I dont see clear idea of what the game is.

    • @John-Brx
      @John-Brx 2 дні тому

      On one hand, I don’t want to show too much of my game to keep the playing aspect later as fun and interesting as possible. On the other hand, games that don’t really have a story or a strict path to follow and are more like a box with a set of tools where the player has the freedom to do whatever he wants actually outsell classic story games by a huge margin on steam . So actually this lack of conflict and clear goals is something most people are looking for. A game where you can just do what you feel like doing in the moment. So it’s kind of a mix; I don't show too much, and I want to keep the game as flexible for the player without too many rules and fixed paths or stories.

    Your character seems to glitch sometimes idk if im seeing wrong and iso core name seems wierd is there a reason for that? I like the core in the name but iso is kinda wierd and biomes being in the same level instead of portals is the right way to go and adding more biomes making it diverse is a better way i honestly would like somethings like volcano and the surround land being ashy, being in the dessert for too long can make u hot and lose health, being in the snowy biome could give you frostbite and many more ideas and if the game is 3 dimensional then it's also possible for many more ideas

  • @fifi8284
    @fifi8284 7 днів тому

    Idk if I heard how you saved the tiles properly but couldn’t you save all the generation data as a seed and if everything is connected to that seed properly couldn’t you optimize the saving by only saving tiles the player interacts with and ignore everything else because if the player goes back it would calculate the same tiles the same way as before

    • @John-Brx
      @John-Brx 6 днів тому

      I was doing exactly that before, but if I change the generative algorithm in a future update, it would result in the player's worlds changing completely.

    • @fifi8284
      @fifi8284 6 днів тому

      @ ah that’s true, the new way is probably the best for realistic indie dev development but if you want to do some crazy optimization in save file size you could save every version of the generation algorithm and have it attached to the save file and the game uses the corresponding algorithm depending on version. I don’t recommend this because it’ll be a pain to deal with so I think what you made is better. But good for thought

    • @John-Brx
      @John-Brx 6 днів тому

      Yes, you are absolutely right! But I have calculated the approximate size of the save files I would create with the current version and I am not even close to a point where the files would reach a problematic size. That might change in the future though, then I would definitely adopt your approach.

  • @SPxxxxx
    @SPxxxxx 7 днів тому

    I’d imagine the dessert and snow biomes can be borderd by the forest but dessert and snow cannot border each other thus making the forest more abundant but also making the dessert and snow biomes slightly more rare. Villages in Minecraft aren’t particularly amazing in anyway but finding one makes u instantly go to it for that little boost. Little sense of excitement specially when you spawn into the world. Structures are a must they don’t have to be villages

    @stars_and_lattes3078 7 днів тому

    I think biomes could be accessible through portal AND being able to travel to them on foot, only the biomes solely accessible through portals could be more fantastical in theme, while the regular biomes are more based on real world natural biomes. Examples could be a biome that, instead of pools of water, they are sky islands, while another one could be a more subterranean biome like a crystal cave (you wouldn't have to program an entire underground level to your world or anything since that area would only be accessible through portal!)

Also i would love to see the "boring" stuff in videos (6:25), i think it would help a lot of people! Anyways can't wait for more videos!
