Version alpha 020: Biomes and fishing


Another big(ish) update!

This update comes with new funky fresh biomes and a fishing minigame!

FISHING

The fishing minigame is still not fully finished however, I am planning to make fish an item you can use in some manner. I am also planning to add different types of fish to catch - some being harder than others.  Right now its simply a game of catching the fish and releasing them. To fish you need to equip the fishing rod and find some water.

To craft the fishing rod you will require 1 stick and 2 string. You can get the stick from cutting down a tree with the hatchet, you get the string through crafting, you use 2 grass to make 1 string. Ofcourse this is all included within the handy dandy README file that comes with the copy of the game!

BIOMES

I have added a few biomes into the game to jive it up a little bit, I'll be tweaking these slightly in the future as I think they can be better. With these biomes comes the addition of two new items, sand and water! WoooOOooOOO amazing right!?

  • Lake, the lake biome contains a big body of water surrounded by grass and sand.
  • Marsh, this biome has water and grass all around.
  • Rocky, the rocky biome only contains rocks! Who would've guessed!
  • Grassland, the grassland biome contains just grass, a very chill biome.
  • Desert, the desert biome... It looks slightly disgusting at the minute, I'm still trying to find the perfect sand colour.
  • Forest, ah, the defacto biome. It contains the essentials; rocks, grass and trees!

Don't know what biome you're in? That's fine! Just open up the world overview menu and you'll instantly know!

EXTRAS

Biomes and fishing isn't the only thing in this update. I have also changed the colour of the player to red as to make it stand out better from the environment, this is for I was lost for several seconds trying to find the character lmao.

The README file has been updated to this version (a020) so if you're lost on how to play the game or how to progress (there's not much of that anyways at the minute), just have a lil' read and hopefully it'll make the game more enjoyable :)

I have added a couple debug controls, you can now go fullscreen by pressing SHIFT + F, you can save the game by pressing SHIFT + D and you can also load the very first game by pressing SHIFT + L (not reccomended though).

Speaking of saving and loading, I have patched a bug that was quite rare but could have ruined your save games, as long as you haven't messed with the save files you wouldn't ever encounter this problem but who cares, it's fixed now!


I am planning to add more items in the next update along with more world overview information and some generated structures across the chunks. Make sure to follow the game ;)
