2025-06-21 08:58:19 +0000 UTCAwesome game. I love how enaging the crafting system is. Beautiful graphics. Challenging combat. Oh and the building system <3 <3 Keep up the good work

2025-06-18 06:54:27 +0000 UTCI recently started playing and having a hard time finding some information. I found copper in the forest caves , I assume iron and silver would be found in other cave systems in other biomes? I haven't been able to find swamp caves nor volcano caves, but I did find desert caves but they've been very shallow and haven't seen any metal nodes. Any tips to find metal nodes

2025-06-18 01:37:35 +0000 UTCHi, I just tried your game, it's beautiful. Thought, allow me to suggest to adjust reflective surfaces so they're smoother. You could use square normal maps with an adjustable level of smoothness and blur so you could make certain surfaces more milky reflective, and some other surfaces more hard reflective... But then even control the hard reflections shape so they're less noisy and more eyecandy. I noted that the water draws lines in the distance. This would probably be alleviated by reviewing the way you stitch chunks. I'm a noob, don't get me wrong, you're the maestro here. Adding distance Bokeh would alleviate it but it's not enough to erase the lines. I'm pretty sure you already turned to overlapping faces off so it seems it might just be a misalignment of the stitches. https://store.steampowered.com/app/993090/Lossless_Scaling/ While it's totally not raster that you work with, maybe the stitching philosophy behind lossless scaling has a part about ridding those nanoscopic seams. What would be super cool would be to have am isometry slider where 100% would be fully isometry and 0% fully natural. Another thing that I feel would be necessary is to add side walking with the horse. You could even get inspired by horse-jockey tricks competitions to check how the legs actually moves when they shift by their left or right side. A horse-jockey affinity levelling grid could be cool in order to increase the horse responsiveness and performance.

2025-06-07 01:11:14 +0000 UTCI just got and started playing and so far it has been the best minecraft like game and it also reminds me of sons of the forest due to having to craft with a little more difficulty i will for sure be playing it for awhile

2025-06-06 08:37:52 +0000 UTCI hope not this makes the game stand out

2025-06-05 20:20:45 +0000 UTCwill you be changing the crafting system at all in the future? like having crafting tables or anything?
Chris Lickytung
2025-06-05 05:25:20 +0000 UTCThanks. I don't have plans for multiplayer support sorry its too much work
Tooley1998
2025-06-01 22:38:41 +0000 UTCAt the moment beating the two bosses would be considered beating the game
Tooley1998
2025-06-01 22:37:51 +0000 UTCIs there a way to beat the game? I have been playing the game for a bit but I am wondering, what is considered beating the game?

2025-06-01 20:50:18 +0000 UTCHey! I just recently tried this game and I love it so far!! I was wondering if there will be any plans of multiplayer support! Me and and my friends would love to play this together!

Tooley1998
2025-05-30 07:19:46 +0000 UTCSorry im new to most of the zip file stuff most games I play are already on steam. But I seen your game and absolutely had to get it. I downloaded the 0.12.0 one for now and hands down the best game I've played in a super long time. Definitely can't wait for the full release. You have my support

2025-05-30 00:44:03 +0000 UTCThe second thing would be improved options for flattening ground and digging blocks. When using a tool, the cube mode should let us pick how many voxels we're taking out at a time, right now it's like 5×5×5, I'd like an option to do bigger ones. Speaking of, I think separate tools should do the whole cube/box/detail mining. The "regular" tools like hammer and shovel should dig exclusively in their regular mode, and then like a chisel for doing one block at a time and a mason's hammer or a square head shovel for doing the cubes and boxes

2025-05-29 19:01:16 +0000 UTCIf I could recommend a couple of very small things, the first would be a loading bar. Especially when making a world for the first time, it takes a little while and a bar showing progress would feel great to see, even if it's not actually how long it'll take.
David Castellanos
2025-05-29 18:56:46 +0000 UTCWhen generating a world it gets stuck on loading world then shuts down
Curt Butler
2025-05-29 01:36:13 +0000 UTCso, I did the YouTube step by step and when i go and hit the settings cog in steam I don't have the compatibility option, so it won't load the game
Curt Butler
2025-05-29 00:45:35 +0000 UTCyes its just me making the game
Tooley1998
2025-05-28 23:40:10 +0000 UTCare you an indie, Tooley1998? because this project is SO impressive
Vincent Grabowiecki
2025-05-28 07:31:47 +0000 UTCyou make fabric from thatch which is made from grass
Tooley1998
2025-05-27 07:56:51 +0000 UTCSorry if this has been answered already, but how do you make fabric for the bed?
Douglas
2025-05-27 01:35:16 +0000 UTChi, what are your system specs?
Tooley1998
2025-05-25 22:12:03 +0000 UTCto update the game you need to download the .zip file attached to this post and extract it the same way you did downloading the game the first time. the game wont be self updating until steam release
Tooley1998
2025-05-25 22:09:31 +0000 UTChi, what gpu does your system have?
Tooley1998
2025-05-25 22:00:35 +0000 UTCHow do I fix my DirectX 12 is not supported on your system. Try running without the -dx12 or -d3d12 command line argument. problem? I have DirectX 12 on my computer.
Tuna Waymire
2025-05-25 20:57:52 +0000 UTCHi friend, would you be able to guide me through the fact that after 15-20 minutes of play, my FPS drops drastically? I have a config that runs the game at full lag... I don't understand why I tried to lower the graphics but nothing helped. Thanks a lot!

2025-05-25 15:45:45 +0000 UTCIf we already have Lay of the Land, will this be an update or a new install?
Elatia
2025-05-25 14:43:50 +0000 UTCthanks for the feedback
Tooley1998
2025-05-25 01:18:13 +0000 UTCyou need to craft tools/weapons to edit voxels.
Tooley1998
2025-05-25 01:17:01 +0000 UTCkeep cooking, looks good so far. if i might suggest something for what i have seen for now. make marble a bit more white in caves. the patches are noticeable in the caverns. but after a while mining it out and it becoming smaller its starts to get very difficult to differentiate the marble from the cobble especially when its a bit darker
Roy Bemelmans
2025-05-24 08:39:47 +0000 UTCHow do I interact with the world beyond picking things up? Left and right clicking do nothing. Thanks.
Elatia
2025-05-24 03:48:00 +0000 UTCthe game currently doesn't need steam to run its a standalone game. if you get that error and your system does say it supports DirectX 12 it usually means your system doesn't support all the required features of DirectX 12. I wish that error message was more detailed but its an internal unreal engine system. You can try running with the -vulkan command
Tooley1998
2025-05-24 00:16:53 +0000 UTCI'm not currently looking for any help with assets but thanks for the offer I appreciate it :)
Tooley1998
2025-05-24 00:14:05 +0000 UTCno I dont have plans for vr support sorry
Tooley1998
2025-05-24 00:12:56 +0000 UTCAre u gonna make it vr capabilitie
Lydia393
2025-05-23 08:24:45 +0000 UTCanyone else got issues? can't run on its own and steam manage tab doesn't have any compatibility tab. I'm on a LG and got some decent specs but not sure if the steam version just doesn't allow me to change compat. any tips appreciated says this: DirectX 12 is not supported on your system. Try running without the -dx12 or -d3d12 command line argument.
Lydia393
2025-05-23 06:19:19 +0000 UTCHey, I don't know what the process would be for creating assets for this sort of game, but I have messed around with making 16x16 tiles, 3d models and sprites and the like for my own Minecraft resource packs before, if you have a process in mind that's the sort of thing I would have fun making in some free time sometimes and sending some of those assets your way, this game is fun to play so far and would love to see it continue development!
Thomas Marek
2025-05-23 02:57:28 +0000 UTCthanks. I am unsure about a hardcore mode atm
Tooley1998
2025-05-22 22:08:22 +0000 UTCthanks. no I don't have plans for an experience system
Tooley1998
2025-05-22 22:07:22 +0000 UTCYou have been doing incredible work on the game again and I am looking forward to the content you will be adding in future updates. Are you planning to implement some sort of RPG experience system for slaying monsters?
Xephios
2025-05-22 16:48:34 +0000 UTCGame looks awesome already! Will we see a hardcore survival mode at some point? :)
MortVader
2025-05-22 16:24:35 +0000 UTChmmm I currently don't have plans for a tool rack or something like that but it isn't a bad idea. you could always build a shelf and place the item on it. you can rotate items when you're dropping them as well
Tooley1998
2025-05-22 09:10:52 +0000 UTCI dont have any plans for multiplayer sorry :(
Tooley1998
2025-05-22 09:08:13 +0000 UTCDo you plan on being able to manipulate the objects in 3D? Like I want to hang an axe by my door. Or making shelf’s or hangers?
I Am Richard Cranium
2025-05-22 03:40:08 +0000 UTCis there any multiplayer planned for the future?

2025-05-21 22:20:58 +0000 UTCLove the work you’ve done on the game so far and hopefully it gets some form of multiplayer in the future either from you or modders its literally the prefect game to play with friends and family. Either way though amazing work!
Nehit
2025-05-21 13:06:58 +0000 UTCthanks for the support. Different biomes have different ores. If you're looking for iron you'll need to go to the Outback Canyons biome. Caves are the easiest way to find ores
Tooley1998
2025-05-21 06:52:14 +0000 UTCMy girlfriend recommended the game and let me try it on her PC, it was fantastic so, screw it, I subscribed as well. One thing I was curious about though before getting started with this new update on my own, when I played before, I only really was able to recycle existing iron plate harvested from like barrels and window frames and stuff. I've tried mining into the side of a mountain and below it but found no luck finding ores. Am I just unlucky or do they not generate in such places and I'm barking up the wrong tree?
RubyRedRaccoon
2025-05-21 02:30:05 +0000 UTCAt some point within the first 15 minutes my PC fans went crazy despite a very good framerate. Also, just to add some feedback, would be nice to get a difficulty setting. Sorry for posting here, I can't for the life of me find the discord link. But yeah, worth noting that I have really good specs, at least to my knowledge. Edit: Worth noting that I was running the game on ubuntu linux, I have nvidia geforce RTX 3070, AMD Ryzen 5 5600X x 12, and 32 gigs of ram.
