Hmm.

Should I start harvesting and planting plants?
I'm not so big on potions.

Oh, is it cooler to light my grey brick skybrige with torches or lava windows?
Bear in mind it'll reach from one side of the world from base.

You should make a plant farm, since finding seeds is a tiring job, and once you have a farm, you wouldn't need to go far to get plants and their seeds.

And, if you're up to the task, use street lamps instead of torches.

Thank you for all the fish. It was a good run.

Last update was around... late August? I don't know anymore all the numbers are bleeding together noooo
If you REALLY REALLY REALLY want to play and build something super awesome or something, then play now.
But if you want to start a new character, then wait.

Yea... See that is the biggest problem that untrained indie programmers have. They can knock stuff up very quickly, but that is because they cut corners everywhere and don't build their code to an open and closed principle, meaning that adding new stuff takes longer, and longer, and longer! In an ideal situation, new content takes less and less time to add because the engine is more built up.

For the content so far described, using xna, this is taking longer than it should.

Welp, that gives me more time to get stuff!

I've a full chest of obsidian bricks too.

Oh, and I got the worst meteor fall ever. ELEVEN BARS!

Unless, of course, that extra time is spent polishing the code.





Yeah, I doubt it too, but it's always possible.

Polishing code is a boringly long job. I've done it before, but it was very small amounts of code. And it still took several days.

So no, not likely.

 Or adding more gameplay features, which require more time as the game is built up to make sure they mesh well with already added features.

 Or dealing with executive junk that builds up as you get more players and need to manage funds.

Part of me wants to summon EOW and fight it, but part of me says i'd be anihilated.

Why did I use all that metal for chandeliers and candles?

Eh, just get a goblin siege, kill them for spiky balls. Set up a platform above ground and throw the balls below you, then lure EoW through them. Two to three runs through a wall of spiky balls will kill EoW easy, he'll go down in as few as 50 if you do it right.

If you're lazy, craft a bunch of vile powder and spam them at him. It'll take a bit longer but he'll go down just the same.

the EOW becomes so easy later, after you already got all the stuff from him.

With the flaming gaysword, you just keep swinging and he dies almost as fast as he moves.
