Updates since summer 2014

The game changed a lot in the last month. Sorry for not updating this blog.

Here are some ingame-screenshots of the current game state.
It is still in early Alpha and full of bugs....but hey....it now uses multithreading :-)

There is no download available, because I am aiming a Steam-release for Windows, MacOS and Linux in the next year.
This will be a hard way with lots of work to do.

...a nice, little campfire and water pressure (water gfx not final)

...underground lava and collecting and placing lava with a bucket




...digging around and some crafting stations





...the crafting window




...a small mushroomcave and deleting an item by use of the trashcan


















...a poison basin - cooking and eating (in a [u]very[/u] early stage)




...much more underground lava

...hey, i found an old watchtower





...some mushrooms can be dangerous - a nice little place to live inside the hill


















...part of a map
 



















 ...walking on the surface
