I saw some videos of this today and I decided to give it a try. I started playing and I didn't stop until several hours later and then only because my arm started hurting like hell
Anyone else played this game? What did you think of it and what have you done in it so far?
Some basic info about the game for those that don't know what it is (if you know what this game is all about, then just skip the rest of this post):
One single dude made this game. It's currently available in 3 forms. A flash version (that isn't really the whole game), the actual full game that you install on your PC and a multiplayer version where you can mess around in the game with other people. The full version is currently in alpha-stage but feels like a finished game to me already. The guy who made it put it up for sale and already he is making millions of dollars of it. The full version will cost 20 dollars when it's done but now in alpha-stage, you can buy it for 9 dollars and get all future updates for free (Edit: 9 euro, not dollars. My mistake).
The game is made entirely up of boxes. You can just see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NszGurDUlHc
When you start playing this game you are presented with a randomly generated world. No two players get the same world. I myself got a world covered in snow and patches of frozen water, while most other people I have seen gets a world that seems to be in the summer-season.
You start out with nothing but your hands. The basic premise is that you are safe during the day to go anywhere you want and do anything you want. At night, zombies, skeletons, spiders and such come out and they are dangerous but can be killed if you know what you are doing. They also spawn in dark caves (even during daytime) so you have to plant torches in dark areas to prevent them from spawning there. When you start the game, it's early in the day and you need to make a safe shelter for yourself so you can survive the night and keep out of sight of the dangerous foes that roam around at night.
You start by gathering wood.
Out of this raw wood you can make sticks and planks.
Out of these things you can make wooden pickaxes.
You can use pickaxes to mine into the soil to gather rocks and such.
You can now make stone-axes and stone swords and pickaxes and such.
Any square piece of wood or rock or sand or such ends up in stacks in your inventory and you can place them down anywhere you want or craft stuff out of them.
You can make bow and arrows, stone tiles, melee weapons, walls, torches, furnace, wooden chests to store items in and so on. You kill cows for their leather so you can make armor and get wool of sheeps as well. You can pick up flowers to decorate your cave/house with. You can cook the meat you find to make it heal more HP when eaten.
The cool thing about this game is that there are no goals. You just start out in this world with nothing and then it's all up to you what you do with it. It's your world. You can remake it in any way you want, 1 square at a time.
So far I have made a home for myself inside a mountain. A wooden door at the front so no one can get in, furnace for smelting metal and cooking food, chest to store stuff in, workbench for advanced crafting, huge network of tunnels that take me out to different sides of the mountain, huge rooms that I'm not quite sure what to do with yet. Torches and tiles and such all over.
I'm currently trying to make a bow but for that I need 3 pieces of silk string from spiders but they only come out at night, so I'm being very careful not to die when I'm out there.
I see that you can even make glass with your furnace if you gather sand and such from sandy-areas and then you can make windows out of that or whatever.
Here's a video-diary if you want to see the game in action from the perspective of a new player: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bh4E...x=0&playnext=1
