Woah. That purple makes it look really alien.

Far out, man.

[Outcast Orange]

Here's the latest version:
http://www.mediafire.com/?nnmtjmlnznt

There are a bunch of new features, mostly added for convenience and ease.

-You can move past the material you are carrying and switch places with it.
-Orange auto-jumps when you encounter obstacles, allowing for much faster travel.
-The edges of the local map are guarded by invisible walls, and you can't see down the sides of them anymore.

I'm sure there are a few other changes, including visual ones, but I can't think of any of them right now.

Enjoy! Should be less painful and more fun now.

I was just about to post about those. xD (Not the auto-jump one, I didn't think of that.)

It would be nice to have a visual cue that shows you are about to pick up or drop something.

I love how the block follows you like it's on an anti-gravity rope. xD
You should also let people "stomp" blocks their holding. Tree, man.

They're just too in the way to be an elf.
They must be DESTROYED.

Glad you enjoyed it. Do you enjoy popping along the countryside, in a made dash of small hops?
That's my new favorite thing to do.
Scaling mountains and cliff walls is still challenging though.

I've no idea what I'll add today, but it'll come to me.
I think I'll add another layer of ground, or the average curve back in.

Here's another small update:

You can now toggle auto-jump with the J key.
Treasure lets you fly again, regardless of if you are standing on it or not.
Basically, infinite jump when you're holding it.

Have fun!

Just got my computer back.  Went to try this out, and it's looking really impressive!  One thing I noticed, I can't seem to put a roof over anything I build.  The cave physics work find, but you can't build a ceiling by hand.

Other than that, it's looking awesome!

[Outcast Orange]

Thanks Timmeh! Glad your back!

I'll have to add the cement stuffs in soon.

[timmeh]

Glad to be back, but what do you mean by "cement stuffs"?  You mean blocks sticking after you place them, or another feature?

Either way, almost forgot, the logs from the tree make awesome gates   I dug out a small cave and used a 2x2x1 wall of logs as a gate, looked awesome and let me see into the cave from the side view

This is my favorite update so far. You just have to try it:

Underground is much more awesome now.

Bug: If you are in the air and place a carried block beneath you, it disapears (I assume that the player overwrites the placed block).

[Outcast Orange]

Ooh, I'm happy people are actually playing my game.
I'll fix it sometime tomorrow probably.

Thanks alfie, you guys are awesome play testers.

Build anything cool?

EDIT:

I've started on a new addition today. It ought to be breathtaking when it's finished.
NOT water. Sorry. Someday, when I feel well rested, I'll figure out pointer lists.

I just checked this out, and it's really cool - I can't wait to see where this project goes - although I'm a little confused about what's going on here:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

What is the huge yellow cube?

[deadlycairn]

If I had to make a guess, thats the secret material that REALLY shouldn't be doing that. On the plus side, you just scored yourself some insta-flight!

Having not actually played the game myself, I'm just going off screen shots - I don't think that black cliff should be there either.

[Outcast Orange]

Close, but wrong.
That yellow stuff in the middle is actually made up of Orange.
This is a bug that happens when the game makes something with a material I haven't designed yet.
It basically just builds the dang thing out of whatever is nearest/random stuff mixed in.
That is going to be a waterplate in the future, if you want to know more about them, look it up in the first post.
I was actually working on that today. Expect some amazing,
 jaw dropping geometry for that in the near future.

Thanks for the compliment, I am a whore for input.

[deadlycairn]

So what was that black outcropping? Or was it just dark purple, and a land plate?
