Ramblings!


Take in mind this is only what to come, I released it as I finnaly got the inventory to somewhat work, it's a little bit messy (which I am working on), it'll either be fixed in 1.0.0 or will be fixed in 1.0.1 or 1.0.2 depending on how long it will take. You cannot move items from slot to slot (but you can select items and items stack).


The roadmap will be later in thi article, but 1.1 should hopefully have a lot of survival elemnts and we aim for 1.1 to be either next week or the week afterwards, this weekend will be spent probbaly bug fixing and such . Crafting may or may not be in 1.1, there is a very very wip crafting menu (which is hidden in 1.0), you can enable it with the debug option in the config file though!

Yeah Performance is rather put quite, shit it's a work in progress it's okay but not great.

Roadmap

  • 1.0.1 - 1.0.x - Bug fixes

  • 1.1 - Proper block mining, renabling the day/night cycle (it's in the game but needs some work). Other survival elements!

  • 1.2 - Basic Y axis diffuclity scaling.

  • 1.3 - Third person veiw.

  • 1.4 - Mobs

  • 1.5 - Performance improvements

  • More to come!

Okay this first of all here is what I have worked on today!

Hello World - 5/12/2023

This is a new little website!


This is primarly for the launcher as we may only use basic HTML and CSS as swing was made in the 2000s or early 90s iirc!


Don't Worry the TIG fourms well receive the same updates as this!

Prealpha Push 1!
