Havenforge is, in a very brief, basic description, a “realistic” version of Minecraft. By “realistic” I mean instead of a block-based terrain, the terrain in Havenforge is smooth, just like terrain in most other games, but you can still edit the terrain like you do in Minecraft (you can make caves and add features to the terrain).



However, in Havenforge, sculpting the terrain is not the only way to create things; there is also a very flexible object placement/modification system in place.



Objects are more like the objects in Halo’s Forge system or Garry’s Mod than objects (blocks) Minecraft. There will be a large list of pre-made objects which you can place, delete, move around, and rotate, without being constrained to a grid. The creative possibilities this and the sculptable terrain create are limitless. Though at the moment I have a very limited set of objects in the game (different sized walls, cubes, and spheres), the objects can already be used in many ways to create interesting structures.



Static objects like walls are not the only objects you will be able to create when the game is more feature-complete. There are also all sorts of dynamic, interactive objects planned to be included like teleporters, vehicles, explosives, chests, etc.

At this point, you have probably realized that creation is a big part of Havenforge, but the flexible creation system is only scratching the surface of the game. I won’t go into detail just yet, but rest assured whether you play to create things, explore, kill stuff, or to just hang out with friends, Havenforge will be an enjoyable experience.

Signing up, thanks OP

Eh, sandboxes.  I do Minecraft for the survival as much as anything.  Come back when you're able to brag about hunger and resource scarcity.

Also, eh, games that compare themselves to other games.  If your game isn't strong enough to stand on its own, or your descriptive capacity isn't fit to lay out your project in independent terms, then you're doing something wrong.  If you're going to sell a product, then sell your product.  Don't sell someone else's product with your changes.

Some people like to play Minecraft for it's simplicity. This looks a bit complex, and barren, but then again, it's in it's alpha state. Would be better if you didn't compare it to Minecraft, but regardless, looking forward to this.

Just did a google for youtube vids... So far. "It Looks pretty" thats all I can say right now...

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Looks neat enough so far, and I'm never one to refuse free stuff.

[Dutchling]

Can't get the recaptcha thing to work (you know, where you have to type something to show you are no bot).
Although the only reason I was creating an account was to make sure I'd get it for free

[Anvilfolk]

Where does it say in the official site that if you sign up you get it for free? I didn't see a mention.

Also, it's better to quote a game that you got inspired by and which is in fact very similar (credit where credit is due), than not saying anything and get everyone complaining it's a clone. At least that's my take on it

[Metalax]

Scroll down the page and in the various comments and replies.

2) If you have already registered, then Havenforge will be free forever . Some time in the near future I will make Havenforge cost something, though.

[Anvilfolk]

Gotcha! Registering

[Aklyon]

Its also 'Like Lords of Uberdark, but realistic', not just like minecraft.

[Sirus]

While comparing yourself to a major title is a little galling, I'm all for free stuff. Some of my favorite things are or were free

[Rex_Nex]

This is not going to go anywhere, is it?
