This sub-game is from scratch. It's changing pretty quickly of course, but I wanted to post it at its current state.

I also have a port open at dcbl.duckdns.org:30001 with this running.

Description (even though everything may change): The player is a 1m cube that has to dig other cubes to move. The cubes make sounds, and detach and move and reattach.

Loooks quite interesting, lemme check it out!

QUITE interesting.

I cannot wait to see what becomes of your game!

You asked about recording a video while I was away, so I wanted to reply: yes, please do! If you do it now you'll capture it before it changes. It was a lot different even five minutes before I published it, but now I'm off to sleep.

I have some videos here and here. I look forward to watching any you make maikerumine!

What are your plans?

Probably going to add some color, or more gradations. Replace the empty inventory formspec with stats, and/or display stats on screen maybe, to show current physics. Change how physics are adjusted -- right now they're set at zero when you start/join, and each time you dig everything is increased. I might change it, then, to reset on death. I might change hp_max to 1 and keep it there, or allow it to be increased in-game for some reason.

I would like to have the nodes make a particular sound on detach/reattach. I would like to be able to interact with the nodes & entities more. For example the entities sometimes lift you up, and at first I tried to stop that. Now I would like it to lift better, right now it's like the player is too heavy. I tried adjusting the `weight' player property, but not sure what it's for exactly.

If you pick up a dropped item, or drop an item, more sounds play -- however there's currently no way to do either of those things without /spawn_entity (haven't tried) or /giveme m:n (and then drop key). I plan to make the player entity physical=true (in order to bump into other players), but haven't done so yet.

So there's no firm plans. It was mostly an experiment, at first, to start minetestserver with an entirely empty gameid, and eliminate errors until it worked without complaint. Currently, the only complaint I see is about mapgen stuff.



(That was from a few days ago, before I added the crack_anylength.png file.)

I will go check it out, it excites my curiosity! however, it's hard to google this game.

It's not the best name. I'll change it to include some more letters, I think.

Edit: How about these ones?

impst? lol. Sounds like an abbreviation of disease!

Good to see something really different.
