Well we saw in the latest LP that hitting a background of wood cracked the wood, most likely destroying it with a little more time, as assuming that both wood and dirt walls have this same property, then we can tear down the underground dirt walls to build our underground towns.

[Neyvn]

Sadly Blue stated that underground and Dungeon backgrounds need to be pulled down from the top down.

[nenjin]

Apparently you can't build wooden platforms starting at the rock biome (it refuses to attach them to background.) I'm guessing that you can knock out walls in the first sub-layer, but not below that. They're ok with you building a home underground. I think they're not ok with people building a home adjacent to hell.

Well, no developer is perfect.

Which is to say it's possible, and 50-60 people with hammers and pickaxes could get it done bloody quick. Assuming that wouldn't melt a server... or the player's rigs.

Yeah, part of me is sad, here. The other part realizes that's still a ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous, amount of space to build in. The entire first sub-layer, and everything above ground? Hell yes. I'd be incorporating the sky islands into the giant building that gets constructed.

Obviously, though, if we can't build a home adjacent to hell, we simply transplant hell to where our home is. The real trick is going to be leading fire imps and bone worms to the upper layers and then keeping them around. I wonder what happens once they lose aggro...

[nenjin]

I half expect that to change in the future, especially as more biomes go in.

[Max White]

*Crosses fingers*
C'mon freezing biome! This little piggy wanna build he's house of ice!

[Frumple]

Freezing biome means freeze-ray or freeze-sword or something. That means bugger making houses out of ice. Make houses out of frozen cthulhu eyes!

Or maybe just frozen slimes or something. Weapon that turns critters into items? I could dig it. I'd feel like kirby with his cookpot. *idly ponders PvP cannibalism*

[nenjin]

Blue has already said the first new biome they are looking at will be snow. Snow blocks, probably ice blocks. Which kind of begs for weather, which I'm sure is on their list somewhere.

But don't worry. They know what we want.

[Soulwynd]

And what we want is to be able to play the game now. :V

[nenjin]

Well, it will kill you to know that in their opinion the game is done and ready to ship

[Aqizzar]

Well then, in the spirit of the style-

This looks interesting, but I wouldn't pay for it. Still looks horribly rough and proof of concepty. Sure it's a very nice concept and there is a lot of concept to be proven, but it really needs more polish.

Given that, I still think minecraft (with a healthy dose of modding) does this idea better. 2d is just too limiting.

[Max White]

2d isn't a limit, it is a design choice. Some things work better in 2d, others worse. platformers and side scrollers has their own unique challengers that 3d games do not, so if you insist on seeing this as a flat minecraft clone (Something is is not) then at least take solice in the fact that you know those zombies you could just run around before and never worry about in minecraft? Well your going to have to face them here, because they will surround you.
