Development on 0.6


hi welcome to a report of development progress for update 0.6!

so let's go over some of the upcoming features coming to blockgame:

  • CHAT FEATURE

a chat toggle can now be by pressing T in game while being inside a world, while not typing you can see a temporal chat history that slowly dissapears but when typing you can see the full on chat history!

  • HEARTS & HEALTH

when playing you can now see some hearts above on the left side of your inventory!


these hearts will tell you how many health you have left

and when having low health your heart icons will shake arrond


and when reaching 0 or lower health you will die ingame,  showing a game over screen and giving you the option to respawn or to save & return to the tittle screen:


  • CRAFTING (W.I.P.)

when pressing E you can now  see your inventory, plus a crafting table UI (w.i.p.)

in the version of this ui for now you'll have a list of craftable items with the result item with it's required ingridients below it, when you're ready to craft your block/item you simply press the CRAFT! button and it will removed the especific ammount of the required items and give you the resulting item, that is if you have the ingridients (very broken for now)

  • PAUSE MENU

when pressing ESC, if you're already in an UI like crafting or inventory it will close it, but if not it will now show the new pause menu

the pause menu include the Resume button that will close the pause menu and resume your gameplay when pressed and an exit to title screen buttom that will save & return you to the title screen

  • ENTITIES

entities will currently be disabled for this version of the game since i still need to figure out how to fix some mayor bugs with them

  •  KNOWN BUGS
    • UI inventory slot positions messing up:
      • still need to see how i fix this since it was showcased by lukascristian on my discord server but i still haven't figure out what's causing the bug
    • ENTITIES BREAKING THE SPRITE LIMIT
      • this bug is one i discovered while testing entity implemententions that i suspect instead of adding the sprite into a list it adds the funtion of adding a sprite so everytime an entity spawn it created a new sprite
    • BROKEN STRUCTURE EDITOR
      • for now it's just a developer feature only meant to be used by developers but it's very buggy for now and required some fixing on the setup screen
  • CONCLUSION

well for now it will be a sort of small update adding crafting and health, not that much into ingame content so be sure to check out for updates and see you on 0.6! :D
