Hey all,
Hope you’ve all had a good week! I’ve been pretty busy with IRL nonsense this week, so this update will be short, but I have some cool things to show!
I’ve added a new item, the pickaxe! This will be used to mine precious metals that will be found deeper underground than rocks. I want to be clear though, Samphi is not about spelunking huge caves. There will be metals to find, but they will be rare. They will be a precious resource and not so readily available.
Anyway, here’s the pickaxe and how you make it:
Since we now have a pickaxe we need something to mine. Enter Iron. As you dig below a certain level and new blocks come into view there’s a certain change that it will be an iron block. That’s currently 1/50 but that can be changed as we need to if it needs balancing.
It will only spawn below the normal dirt level, so iron will never be in a fresh spawn. You will always have to dig down and find it. For now, it’s using a sprite very similar to the rock sprite, but we’ll update that later. Here’s what the block looks like:
I originally drew a really shiny block, but actually raw iron appears to have this rusty-red color, so that’s what we went with. This will be used on a furnace to create nice shiny iron.
In other news, v0.1b has been live in the beta channel for a week now, so I’ve moved it to stable. If there are any bugs let me know, but none have been reported. :)
That’s it for now. Short update, will be working on chests I think next! They need to be back in!
Hope you all have a fantastic weekend! :) Ciao.
