I don't think B3D can output ANY graphics better than those...  No, well, it probably can, even software-based games have nice models sometimes, but from what I know, any sort of complex game will be slow on B3D... I don't have much experience with it though.  

[Keiseth]

Not fond of the concept of Blitz, but I'm surprised to see that it runs *very* well despite my low system specs (P4 1.4ghz, 512mb PC133 SDRAM, GeForce FX 5500) -- for something like Blitz3D it's remarkably quick. I didn't mess with the settings from the default, however.

It sort of reminds me of Noctis, in a way. Rather peaceful and serene (Adventure mode; hostile animals on islands are another story). Though some of the items you make require a ridiculous amount of parts, and some of them require far too few (I can work iron with a stone hammer, and no fire? O_o)

Also, I took out a lion with a pick axe, without getting hit. The Urist Effect, clearly. If this game had deformable terrain (I haven't tried to make shovel) it would be great; strike the earth!

[Deon]

Unfortunately this game doesn't have any terraforming. You just get rocks/worms/pebbles from the ground.
The only thing that caught my attention is that it's a 1st person game with low graphics but a lot of moddable details and ability to make complex things.

I'd like to have something similar in Notrium; that game is great but I missed ability to build something more complex in infrastructure than a tower defence and a force shield.

Might see if I can get a crack at the modding aspect and get some phasers in here.  :p

[Sean Mirrsen]

When I was modding Total Annihilation, I made a strange game-like thing (in Dark Basic) with no point to it, where you were driving the most powerful tank of the upcoming mod, and squishing/shooting the least powerful units of the other side in the mod. You were nigh indestructable, the enemies were many, fun but not much point.

Now I was recently watching Animal Planet, and caught a word "Ele-vision"...

Imagine a scene - peaceful forest, trees, a mountain nearby, some kind of fort....  beardy little figures run out yelling, run at you...  and on your HUD there are two ears, two tusks, and a trunk.  
Plus a blinking sign "Ele-Vision" in a corner.

For some reason, I am completely unable to sow any grains. I take them in my hand, but neither the left nor right mouse button works even if I'm looking directly down at my invisible toes...

[Cthulhu]

When I first landed on the island, I had a lot of fun scouting it out, setting up a little home, peacefully fishing and crushing the skulls of parrots with my pickaxe.  Now it's day 19, I need two more logs to build my raft, and I"m ready to get out of here.(Please, if it's not possible to leave via raft, don't spoil it by telling me)

[Deon]

Press the use button ([E] by default).

P.S. Chtulhu was faster than me, but not with an answer.
I've answered the crops question.

Bah, leaving already? I'm going to build an abode to see if I can't get access to a proper boat first, y'know.

[Cthulhu]

I'm building a proper boat.  It's a raft with a sail.  You have no idea how many monkeys I had to massacre to make the sail.

[Boksi]

Monkeys are annoying. The only animals I can hit with reasonable accuracy are lions, so I hunt them. Also, a raft may be a proper boat, but I can still be an ignorant <censored> and insist on having at least a bit of shelter so I can sleep and such.

I still don't know how to sow grains.

[Deon]

Isn't my method working?

[Boksi]

...I was writing the reply to Ctulhu when you posted that. It works, and I've got a lovely field of grain growing in the hillside near my hut now. Back to building the fences and torches and the Kiwi breeding...

[Cthulhu]

I have a hut, a wood storage, and a regular storage.  The boat is finished, and I'm just waiting out the current rainstorm before I leave.  Provided the rain is gone tomorrow, I will have spent exactly three in-game weeks alone on an island.

Pretty good for an awkward teenager with no survival skills whatsoever.

[Deon]

And with a mighty pickaxe =).
