A game I made

[kilele]

Let me give you a few more other ideas,

I've come across a night effect that looks nice to your mine, here's a before-and-after comparison:

And this is the video of this quick effect made with photofiltre

have you thought of applying antialiasing over the miner's lines?

[Julian]

Thanks a lot Kilele

have you thought of applying antialiasing over the miner's lines?

Hmmm, I have thought about it but I decided not to do so.
But I cannot really remember why, so I'll rethink it

Download demo 2 now!: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43582062/Soil.exe

The orb in the lower left corner doesn't do anything right now,
but it is going to show how much light you have left in your belt
soon C: The button in the lower right can be used to open (or
close when opened) your inventory. Meanwhile, you can collect
30 ores before your inventory is full. This will be the absolute
maximum after a number of 'pocket upgrades' when the game is
ready. Have fun and please tell me what you think ^.^

[kilele]

The inventory looks good!!
Can't wait to see how you are going to light up the mine, I wonder if you plan to make belt's brightness variable?
An interesting effect could be adding dust fog escaping upwards from the mine

Thinking about it.

I think I will; the more light you have the more and the better you can see everything around you

Hmmm, will think about it. Thanks again ^^

Downloaded it for now, will test it at the night when I come back from mother's day visits at night, so expect my opinion by tomorrow latest.

Edit: Tried the game now, basically I repeated everything I did the last time around, and for starters I love that the laser is working faster now, plus it looks alot better. The size of the light circle on the left is good, maybe you could add a fireish effect as in low fire is blueish but the hotter it is it goes from yellow to red? Well something similar but in light terms, maybe a very intense yellow and as it emptied itself it also becomes less intense until in the very last its pale. The inventory is working great and I managed to find at least one of each of them so basically everything is working good, I like the direction its taking.

Sorry that I can't think of anything else at the moment, I'm glad kilele has been much more helpful than I have been.

[Julian]

Ah, sorry for the late reply Lichlord, but thanks for testing Also,
I will think about the light circle in the lower left corner... I am also
thinking about making it more animated... about making the fluid
really look like fluid by making it go up and down in waves a bit C:

[DragonKnight]

Thats a great idea

the first animation on this page could come in handy

EDIT:
something like this?

likey likey!
I am planning to do all the art myself though (for practic reasons)
but I am sure that second image will be a great inspiration Thanks!

Also, I was wondering if anyone can guess what the thing below
me is; http://s15.postimage.org/uq5j1bdzd/soil15.png :3

A bunch of ores stacked together that hadn't been picked up yet? o.o

[DragonKnight]

If lichlord you mean combineing ore to make new substances than yes thats a good idea

[Julian]

Well, it's supposed to be a trampoline. I was wondering
whether I should keep the original shape of the ores/gems
in the actual buildable structures, but I guess not, haha

Guess not...its really confusing as you could notice.

The ores could still define the color of the buildable structures though.

suggestion for a trampoline, a mars airbag:
http://marsrover.nasa.gov/technology/is ... ng-02.html

it could be like a elastic sponge, maybe you could make it like a spring/souffle animation

[Julian]

Yeah, that's the plan now Lichlord

Haha. I am afraid I am sticking with taking my inspiration from the
trampoline in a game called 'Transformice' (which is quite awesome :3): http://transformicewiki.com/images/b/bc/Trampoline.png

[Julian]

http://postimage.org/image/3zdnlsakd/ , better? C:

[kilele]

maybe something simpler? that forms part of the rocks, like molten rock material which is the same as the regular soil but hotter, reddish and more elastic so that the miner uses it as a trampoline

edit 1:
you could also use it to light up the mine, the more you jump onto the magma trampoline the more it gives off red light and heat

edit 2:
i've made some paintbrushy experiments:

this mining game is said to be quite addicting, perhaps Julian can derive some idea for his game

Tskkk, they stole some of my ideas
I've heard about it before... I might indeed
give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion C:
