Who benefits from ads?
Me as a developer? Kinda. Assuming the equation I mentioned in the last blog about the ads works out as positive, there’s an economic incentive to run ads.
But I’m encouraging users to pay for other games, when I would rather have them pay for my game, which is the reason they come there in the first place.
The players? No. Definitely not. The web site gets more cluttered, and there’s a potential drop in performance in the game.
There’s some small benefit in finding out about similar services you might like more, but I don’t think that’s very common.
The people running the ads? Absolutely! The reason they run ads at all is to increase their income. You get your name out there, people get used to it, and traffic increases.
So if it’s not got for you, only kinda good for me, and definitely good for scum like Evony, why do I have ads?
The answer is, I no longer do. And I never[*] will again.
(Side notes: I was against ads from the very beginning. I ran this as an experiment, and it failed. I will DEFINITELY, however, run ads for Minecraft on other sites when the game is done. ;D Oh, and sorry about the evony crap.)
[* May or may not be true.]
[b]There's a lot of work to be done for crafting![/b]
I’m trying an item assembly based approach to crafting. You’ll have a 3x3 tile grid of item slots. Putting the right combination of items in there turns them into a new item.
For example, this would become a pickaxe:
XXX X = Iron ingot
.#. # = Wood
.#. . = Nothing
And this would be a sword:
.X. X = Iron ingot
.X. # = Wood
.#. . = Nothing
And an iron block: (The actual positioning within the grid is irrelevant)
XX. X = Iron ingot
XX. # = Wood
... . = Nothing
To do the crafting, you need access to a crafting table. All crafting is immediate, so you can craft as fast as you can click.
Other things I’m considering is REQUIRING a pick-axe to mine stone, but you can make one for free out of wood. It won’t last long, but it’ll get you started. Then you can make a stone pick-axe.
To mine iron, a stone or better pick-axe is required.
To mine gold or emerald, you need an iron pick-axe.
This ensures you can’t get an emerald pick-axe immediately because of a lucky spawn.

[b]Phew, got the inventory cleaned up[/b]
I reworked how the clicking around in the inventory works, and cleaned up the code a whole lot.
There’s a new interim update up on indev now if you want to try it (and voxel sprites) out. ‘b’ is hardcoded to open a crafting menu there as well, but that’s just temporary.
Oh, and ignore the weird graphical glitch when it first starts. Just click it to make it behave. =)

The new tools don't do anything different than the regular ones, i believe. And the swords work like shovels. Plus, i haven't been able to craft anything, so i'm guessing he hasn't really implemented it yet.

It was a baaaad idea giving me a lava block to start with. I accidentally unleashed hell in the starting room.
I DO like the fact that water and lava flows downward now. It was annoying when a single block of un-sponged water could flood an entire underground complex at-level.
This will make my water bases much nicer, now that I don't have to hide sponges to control water flow... I THINK.

You're better off making a draining pit. Unless it's the ocean, In which you would need sponges to contain the forming puddle.
(Ocean has unlimited water around the edges.)

Nope, you won't. As long as lava or water can find a way down, it will. Both are [b]completely finite[/b] so you don't have to worry about floods. You still can't make waterfalls though :(
And beware, water evaporates, and lava turns to stone when one of its sides is exposed.

Uh you can, just use sponges to stop the basin at the bottom of the waterfall from overflowing.
[QUOTE=ZomBuster;19905506]Uh you can, just use sponges to stop the basin at the bottom of the waterfall from overflowing.[/QUOTE]
Why didn't i think of that
I absolutely love this map the map generator gave me. it started out as a simple project to test the efficiency of digging a mine straight into the ground rather than surface mining, but turned into the creation of a huge lava fueled base. It taught me some things about lava too, which I will share with you at the end of these pictures.
(Note: These were taken after the initial set up of the base, everything was dug and placed by hand, no map editor was used)
As you can see, the game placed me in a very bad starting position, fortunately the water broke my fall.

I had grabbed some stuff when I started, but I wanted to get back for some none craftable items. Using the massive amounts of stone I have, stairs were no problem.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/1notch2.png[/img]
I tried to hide the entrance to the initial mine so it was harder for creepers to accidently stumble into and also I wanted to test out disguised entrances. The disguise worked pretty well, the entrace is the opening under my crosshairs
[img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/1notch3.png[/img]
The bottom of the stairs where I had stumbled upon two large magma pools. Using techniques I had thought up earlier, I dug a system of Lava fueled lighting for my mine.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/1notch5.png[/img]
One of the hallways with lava lighting. At the end of the hallway and to the right is where I found...
[img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/1notch6.png[/img]
This massive cavern. Orriginally there were small empty pools on the floor, however I built a magma pipe system and used it to fill the pools, which lit up the cavern.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/1notch7.png[/img]
This is my favorite spot, it's right behind the huge rock column at the far side of the cavern. I think it's neat the map generator actually created the column like that.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/1notch8.png[/img]
A channel I had dug to light up more of the cavern, there's way more to the cavern at the other side of the channel, which is why I stopped the flow so I could explore it before flooding it with lava.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/1notch9.png[/img]
That's a hollow passage that I explored and nearly got lost in. The cavern is HUGE and there are a few pools of water and more magma back there as well.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/1notch10.png[/img]
A few things I learned about magma is that:
1.Magma is a GREAT tool for lighting
2.However as you drain it, you're going to eventually run out. I did and had to use magma spawn blocks to keep the supply going.
3.For reasons like this, magma could become a commodity in survival mode, there's only a limited amount and it has many uses.
4.If magma supplies get low and the lava can't fill the area it's on, it will start solidifying. Meaning that you have to go back and remove the solidified magma chunks from your magma pipes. Which is a pain.
5.Because of that, I would plan on creating primary magma pipes 2 high. It makes it easier to clean and lowers the chance of total clogging.
Also, if you want to look at the map and maybe build to it yourself, [B][url=http://filesmelt.com/dl/Flava.mclevel]here's the download.[/url][/B]

Why dumbs? I have a very nice server with an autoupdating isocraft map, but I'm very busy lately, and don't have time for this. I'll be taking care of it again when beta's out, though. Too much to take care of right now.
I didn't rate you myself, but I think it would be ill-advised to hand over security rights to your server at the moment, or in general. You never really know who you're trusting it to. If you give it to someone you play with a lot, that's one thing, but the way you stated it it felt more like a hand-out.
