Will it be PC only for now? I'd like to help test but I'm stuck on a Mac for the foreseeable future

I'm using mostly cross platform libraries making porting pretty trivial but only have a Windows PC to test on.

when will there be a open alpha?

I mean I'd need to get to a point where I'm not updating both the client and server in such a way as to make them incompatible every few hours lol

is the max height fixed yet

Was it broke?

Antialiasing-adjacent things coming any time soon?

You mean deleting the faces between adjacent bricks? It's possible, though not high up on the list of priorities atm.

i dont think you understand what 2D and 3D mean

I'm referring to gameplay, not graphics strictly speaking.

very few people claim to hear nothing in a silent room, most people have some kind of background noise

usually its only a concern if its audible over noise and interrupting sleep/life/whatever

I can hear it even when others are talking.
The quieter the room, the more I hear it. With headphones on or when I'm vaccuuming I can't hear it. When I'm in a lecture it's definitely still there and I can hear it. In a silent room it's ridiculously loud.

I'll probably do another public test tomorrow or Friday evening if anyone wants.

Few updates:
In-game 3d text added, so both players and models can have names attached to them.
There's an underwater texture overlay so when you go underwater it looks like it.
Chat clears when you hit escape when typing.
A bunch of script functions were added back in and I have a chat eval add-on working.
Players should not disconnect instantly unless they've lagged out.
FOV and Mouse sensitivity prefs added to the prefs.txt
You can zoom with the f key
Connect and disconnect sounds, for now copied from Blockland though I'll get my own obviously. You can also add sounds via add-ons.

When I heard the concept I was excited as forget. This sounds amazing.
That said, I then learned it's 2d/overhead perspective. That's a bit disappointing. I tend to only play 3d fps games, but I'll try this one out.

how's the ringing now?

Still annoying as ever.
I'm pretty confident I'll have this for the rest of my life, since all the pressure/pain in my ear is gone and I'm still hearing the ringing as loud as before.

Well, welcome to the club pal

You have it too?

A few drops of alcohol  (diluted in water of course) would help

Seems dengerous

Hopefully it doesn't leave you with tinnitus

Seems too late for that.
The ringing is even louder tonight than it was this morning. Doesn't help that my job involves vacuuming.
I also found out today that there are tinnitus support forums. Christ.

I've been prescribed amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium. The tablets are massive and two separate people have told me they can give me diarrhea. The bottle says it can persist for months.

Anyway, here I go.

I feel asleep at like 1:30am and woke up at 4:30am. When I got up the pain was mostly gone but I had an even louder ringing in my ear. So yeah, that's not good. It's almost 9am here and my ear's still ringing. I can hear out of it fine, btw.

just try and get some sleep. I never had an ear infection, but I heard from several friends in the past that what they did was just sleep until they got to the doctors (when I say that I mean the night before you go) and it helped because they just cancelled it out until the appointment.

Just keep your head straight when you sleep because they said it can cause pain when sleeping on the infected ear (as in having your head rolled on the side.)

Yeah, every time I bent over it would suddenly hurt. I finally figured out that keeping my infected ear up helped. So I'll be sure to do that when I sleep.

Also, any time I burp or hiccup it sends another surge of pain to my ear and intensifies the ringing.
Hopefully the ringing goes away with the infection. If not, then I can always embrace the sweet release of death.

I remember my 09 ear infection, I had trouble sleeping and it lasted me a week. Feel better man, dealing with a sore throat there.

Get well soon fella

Thanks.


Weirdly enough it also makes the left side of my head feel kinda numb.
I'm gonna take an ibuprofen but I kind of doubt it'll help.
I just hope it doesn't get any worse than it already is.

Mostly I just hear the sounds of the ocean. It's gonna be hell trying to sleep tonight. Also, it hurts, of course.
I've also had a sore throat since Thursday and it hurts to swallow. I'm seeing a doctor tomorrow though.

Hey there, here's a demo:
removed
You can change the nickname in the attached prefs.txt file.
It's just afghan dm loaded on a tiny map with some cubes you can kick around. I'll be on today to watch things.
Type "reset" to reset cubes.

The purpose of this demo is just for people to let me know how the player and cube movement works over an internet connection and if movement is overly laggy or jagged. Also if loading the bricks takes to long let me know. You probably won't be able to move until most of the bricks are loaded, that's normal. It should take <20 seconds usually.

Video of easily the best soccer game of 2017:

Edit:
So I was on earlier giving people a tour, but I have to go now.
So in the last hour or two I've had at least 10 separate people come on. At one point we had 4 people online at once. Kenko, Riot, and Mr. Queeba.
We tested a bit and they seemed to all be able to run the game, that's fantastic. Though they did report varying degrees of jitteryness when trying to walk. Beyond that everything seemed to work for everyone.
A few tips:
1. You can type 'reset' to reset all purple blocks.
2. You can push other players around.
3. You can press M to unlock mouse like in BL
4. Use tab to switch between 1st and 3rd person

Also, a few things to do tonight:
Names over heads
Black outline around text
Underwater texture
Sounds
Clear chat on escape
Player list
Add in old script functions to server[/b]
Disconnect notifications
More prefs like mouse sensitivity and fov (eventually ingame)
zoom feature
