Instead of manually packing bits, what about an indexed palette system? (Like how PNG colortype 3 works.) In addition to the voxel array, each region can store a palette table that maps each 16-bit value to a larger block-state struct. That would free you from needing to be especially conservative and compact about how you represent block states, and it would also allow the game to have even more than just 65536 possible block/orientation/color combinations, so long as a player isn't insane enough to actually try to _put_ more than 65536 unique block types in the same region simultaneously. Even with 1k block-state structs, that's still only a 64M table per region. This would mean interposing some additional CPU-side algorithms on the voxel grid structure, but not _slow_ algorithms: Region load would involve populating a reverse hash-map to let you efficiently find an existing block ID to use to set a state already present in the region, and probably a refcount table to let you efficiently garbage-collect and reuse palette slots. Setting a block would mean searching the reverse map for the block state and inserting it into a free palette slot if not, but bulk operations like world-gen would only need to look up "stone" once and use the ID for bulk sets. Breaking a block has the most options, for how aggressive it needs to be about keeping the table compact. GPU side, it'd only need to be a forward lookup, a simple array index -- and even if a player _does_ manage to find a way to reach the limit of 65536 unique block types in a single region, that table would still only 64M per region.

Would be cool if you had planets with different atmospheres and gravities

You have to hope that planetsmith will be successful, because you can see that it has potential

Maybe add world edit, it will make building impressive builds easier

The Dome Base region!!!! Slava Dome Base!!!!

Can I make a suggestion for the Timelapse camera? You know how in an action-RPG game like Zelda or Kingdom Hearts, you have a lock-on that makes sure that both your character and the chosen enemy stay on screen? Usually the game picks the midpoint between the two, and then picks an angle so the camera is pointed at that spot and both “endpoints” are visible. Maybe have it where you pick a distance when starting the Timelapse, let’s say 50 or 100 blocks, and a rotation speed, like 1 rotation per 2 minutes, and the camera locks on to the midpoint between you and the farthest-away block you’ve placed since starting the Timelapse, with a new block chosen every 30 seconds (save the coordinates of the currently placed block every 5-10 seconds, and then once 30 seconds are up, compare that list with the currently-selected “furthest block” to determine if it needs to change anything. The camera could rotate around that specified midpoint at the designated minimum distance, zooming only to ensure that both you and the selected block stay in range. This would allow for more dynamic camera angles, and make sure the viewer can see what you’re doing easily. And only checking for a new midpoint at intervals with the camera smoothly transitioning to the new midpoint would prevent the computer from having to constantly do extra calculations with every block placed and minimize performance impact.

build the planet a moon... heheee

I'd like it if there were planets youd need a suit or a habitat to survive on. Would make habitable ones all the more valuable.

Would it be possible for the sun to be a hexagon?

"What would you like to see built next?" Me: The game, please.

mate, don't eat from the batter before making a cake. chop chop, back to work

you know, i feel like its a bit dark, even when its the middle of the day. Its hard to describe what i mean, but i feel like the dark edges of the sky make it feel..... off. Maybe its a bit washed out? Maybe make i a setting to be able to adjust the temp of the light etc.(great build btw, cant wait for the game)

im j lit u dont use world edit good shit broski- I JUST REALIZED WHO IM WATCHING AND THAT THIS ISNT MINECRAFT WTFFFFFF. bro this game is truly coming together im so happy for you good work man. i hope and cant wait to play it

Would your team be interested in professional builders for this game eventually? This could be for trailers, trial worlds, world templates, structures, etc. Me and my friend have been building in Minecraft for years, and we'd make some cool stuff with these blocks.

i hope the moon gets added with its phases. It would also give the player a good first place to go if space travel becomes possible in the game.

Build a circle, a triangle and a square

u are amazing!! :3

It would be cool to see a hexagonal Minecraft village. Edit: I just realized you built a sort of village inside, but it doesn't look like Minecraft villages. Another suggestion would be a skyscraper. The tallest you can built in your game.

Hexagons are the bestagons

This game is called planetsmith and it has a lot of planet in it, but what about the smith? Are you planning some smitthing crafting system?

Man, I’m so excited to play this someday

I would love to see a small medieval town! ^^

seeing as building is a bit more complicated than simple blocks, have you considered implementing something similar to minecraft bedrocks "predictive block placement?" being able to place blocks on a bridge or wall without having to see the face of that block would probably make building things like the edges of the glass on the dome much faster and simple. hope i explained that well enough

I would love if yall built a lighthouse!!

too cool

How do you find out how to make the perfect curves on the walls of the dome?

I'd love to see a cabin in the woods or mountain (if that's a thing already)

Can't wait to try this game myself

for a sec I thought its on the moon

i know it's a bit more complicated but it'd be cool if you built a skyscraper or castle

🦁

Blue Bean is getting replaced soon! Come join our discord to get a sneak peak of the new player character. discord.gg/eSS2pYU7Nw

Beautiful as always. I cannot wait for this game :) Is there any chance of extremely early testing access? I can’t do much cause of my health and this looks really relaxing, if there is lmk <3

blue bean...

You could keep track if the player has made any changes in a chunk, and if not then don't save that chunk. It should be pretty simple and provide massive decrease of the file size.

Blue bean creates spaceship

This is awesome, I can't wait to see it fly!

Clickbait thumbnails for a game development channel is not a path you'd probably want to go down.

Honestlylove the tree of life in the beginning

5:55 pregnant gaming 💀

Hexagons are the bestagons

B E A N

Making structures that can move like the Minecraft mod "create aeronautics" would be so insanely cool. Maybe that's how you would have to traverse from world to world

is the spaceship just a build or will you be able to fly a handmade ship?

Pretty cool

When is the game going to release? By the looks of it you should release it in less than a month and then give it regular updates for the other stuff you want to add.

Will you be adding real-life animals into the game or have only fantastical/fictional creatures in the game?

Honestly, though it might not fit, I would love to see some type of automation system in this game.

Bro already remade the replay mod and the game aint even out of alpha

Do you think the ambient sounds will be mostly biome-based like "even though I've cut down every tree, this was once a rainforest, so it still has rainforest sounds" or more contextual, like "even though this is a desert, I've put 20 trees together and now lo and behold, there is bird song"?
