2D platformer Minecraft clone... thingy (yeah yeah more in common with Clonk, blah blah, but no one's ever heard of that game, unlike MC). Not available yet but apparently it's generating a bit of a buzz already.

I first saw the trailer a few days back and thought well that's pretty shit, but the Let's Play series the devs have going makes the multiplayer look like it could be fun.

Been watching the LP series and I'm really digging the constant advancement and rare magic gear, bosses etc. - Mojang really needs to step up their game unless they wanna lose some player base to this when it gets released.

seems hard as fuck atm, been watching these yogscast guys on youtube and they are swamped with enemies at every minute, worms, zombies, slimes, flying stuff etc etc

 

[Turisas]

Yeah the spawns are a bit silly, left and right on a constant barrage. Maybe lower difficulties will have less of them, seems a bit excessive to have so much so early on (in more advanced zones it'd be fine of course).

Looks a lot more fun than Minecraft. Death to Sweden.

Aspies just went into overdrive ?

 

[CrimsonAngel]

So i watched some LP's and it looks like fun.

OH and FUCK YOU SWEDEN YOU SUCK!!!

Watched the whole developers LP , looks and play alot more fun than minecraft.

Also it's generaly good as a game, i cannot stand usualy LP's but this is realy good.

This game kind of reminds me of 90's games. Love the music also.

looks a lot like clonk...in some cases more sophisticated, in others a bit strange..(monsters, unlimited backpack?!). will watch out for this and in the meantime play the newest freeware clonk (endeavour) - only for 100h or something.

 

[Kashmir Slippers]

Looks interesting.

Minecraft with gameplay!?!?!

 

[Exmit]

Will we have Terraria server for Kodex? Might be too early for this but just asking.

 

[Turisas]

There's a 12-May beta leak on bitgamer.

Huh. I was just about to point this out, but the filename makes me think I wasn't as clever as I thought.

Huh. Thought it looked familiar. Most of the sprites seem to be based on the Final Fantasy sprites. Specifically the FFV sprite set for Bartz/Butz with minor alterations.

The game looks fun, but if SquareEnix catches sight of it it's going to get a C&D very quickly. Between the poses and most of the animation, it'd be trivial for SE to prove the sprites are a derivative work... Which does make me wonder if they've... ahem, appropriated other material to modify.

Not sure why they think they'd get away with ripping off FFV sprites, don't care. If they want my money for this game, cool as it looks right now, they can hire a sprite artist to make them original sprites. I won't reward copyright infringement with money.

Looks like Minecraft? No, this looks like a game. The creating stuff part was pretty much the only thing in it that didn't look interesting (as it seemed incredibly tedious). But yeah, dunno wtf is up with the FFV sprites.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Gonna buy the fuck out of this come Monday. DEATH TO SWEDEN.

 

[CrimsonAngel]

DEATH TO SWEDEN!!! God dam knäckebröd eating weirdos....

Any who i think i will buy this i can see my self having fun with it.

 

[baronjohn]

Huh. I was just about to point this out, but the filename makes me think I wasn't as clever as I thought.

This doesn't look derivative at all.

Soo... you gonna host a game or will I have to?

 

[baronjohn]

I've already watched a few parts on youtube where the devs play it. I'm sorry to report that this game doesn't meet my standards with regard to the art.

Maybe when it's out and the devs make lots of cash off you suckers, they will hire an artist or two for Terraria 2.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Smoe guy on the destructoid comments says those sprites are placeholders.

 

[Damned Registrations]

Found a torrent for it but doesn't work. Does the bitgamer one work? Can you reupload it?
