I'm hoping for the possibility of an ocean planet with jungle islands. Go all tropical this time.

Am I the only one who just wants to walk around and kill some monsters and get loot and level up.

I think so. I mean, getting loot is fun and all but I really wanna build stuff.

Con... considering I'm fairly sure the game won't have a leveling system. S'possible you're it.

S'item based progression, innit? Still. Two out of three, and one of them sorta' does the third? Guess that's okay. I'm definitely looking forward to more than just fight eat loot walk repeat, though, sure. Shaping worlds to my whim is part of the package.

Oh yeah. I could have sworn I read it had some sort of non-item-based progression mechanic, but maybe not. I'll go look into it on the forums and see what they say.

I'm pretty sure that there is a leveling system. From the June 5th blog update:

[...] Kyren is making great strides with the leveling system. She’s currently working on NPC leveling and soon moving onto ore multipliers for planets of varying threat levels.
Of course, I could be horribly misinterpreting it.

Anyone of the equivalent to the royal bloodline in a nomadic group would have a sun tattooed on their hand, or a scrotum on their forehead (it's a little-known fact that fraternities are based off of long-forgotten tribes).

Oh that was more about leveling them up to ore tier or integrated in the progression system, not lvl 1-99 type of leveling but that they are a match to the possible gear you might have.

Pretty much not sending out laval imps when you have copper armor and weapons in terraria that kind of stuff.

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

Yeah, it's referring to the  planetary difficulty level progression.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

Not ruins unless you make them ruins.

So make a regular bunch of buildings then blow them all to shit.

While watching a HL2 speedrun, I heard Dr Breen mention something... intresting.

I have figured out the Nova. Woop woop.

Huh. Grappling hook behavior based off Umihara Kawase. Color me suddenly somewhat more interested in the grappling hook. Fairly good place to draw mechanics inspiration from, per'aps.

And the general lack of an attention span.
Perhaps he was going to mention these two, but then he got interrupted by Gordon Freeman?
