kitsune tails is queer furry super mario bros 3, with a big mid-game twist to both the story and mechanics. it also has aro/ace representation, *and* allows players to make and share their own levels and even minigames via steam workshop. available on steam and itch via kitsunegames.com/kitsunetails

yeah, interesting procedural generation in an infinite world is several orders of magnitude more difficult and i don't think the infinity necessarily adds that much

Eniko Fox @enikofox.com · 42m

i intend to have each "world" be finite, but also you'll be able to visit more than one, so it's functionally infinite

yeah, it'll save quite a bit of time

Eniko Fox @enikofox.com · 3h

yep. it even works on stuff like grass or leaves that have polygonal shell textures over the block, and even stuff that are entirely 3d models like flowers or ferns

thanks 💜

the answer is to fake it >_>

thanks for reading along 💜

changed the way block breaking work. 3d cursor now changes to encompass the whole block and the breaking decal is shown on all faces

seriously though, congratulations, that's huge

i've added a new question/answer to the block game FAQ on the site at enikofox.com/blockgame/

What do you mean by a living world?

I mean a world that feels like it exists even if it weren't for the player's presence. A world that wasn't created purely to be a playground for the player (even though it obviously is) but one that the player coincidentally inhabits, with lives and stories playing out even if you're not necessarily there to see them.

it is a force multiplier

but i notice a definite difference in number of incidents between here and fedi despite having about as many followers on both

Eniko Fox @enikofox.com · 6h

yeah because normal people take it well when you follow up being rude by being patronizing too :'D

Eniko Fox @enikofox.com · 6h

fun fact: i never did like twitter

Eniko Fox @enikofox.com · 7h

everyone complains about reply guys on mastodon but at least they're mostly well meaning. this kind of shit only ever seems to happen to me here

honestly in general too many people on this website spread their negativity in your mentions completely unasked and then get very shocked when people find them rude

just keep your shitty opinions to yourself jesus fucking christ, grow up!

Eniko Fox @enikofox.com · 1d

notice to anyone who, for whatever fucking reason, feels compelled to come into my mentions to tell me they find minecraft clones boring:

i'm on maximum render distance

and i still can't find who asked

i gotta admit it's still lacking a bit without being able to place the blocks elsewhere after breaking them >_>

but that'll happen soon enough :D

Eniko Fox @enikofox.com · 7h

hmm not really. though i've watched a fair number of videos on YT from people making their own

you might want to give /r/VoxelGameDev a try on reddit though i hear that's a good resource

just discovered that the shell textures on leaf blocks do a really cute thing when they surround another block :3

#EniBlockGame #GameDev 🎮

leaf blocks surrounding a bark block. the bark block's top surface is visible, and it's edges are slightly covered by leaves

Yeah it was a very shitty thing to say to someone. Like "hey lemme just rain on your parade"

Could anyone point me to a resource for learning the basics of how to build a humanoid 3D model and set up an animation rig in Blender? It's a skill I'd like to acquire.
