added flint knife and cordage, which you get from using a knife on flamereeds

this means all the components for the crude carpentry table (rough wood, sticks, cordage) are in place and i can start working on that next

added the crude carpentry table, which will pave the way to many pieces of furniture and building blocks

also added a sub-text line to the hint window and it now shows how many items will be crafted as well as how many items are required/will be consumed

making more complex recipes that require a certain quantity of source/target items to craft, so i made it so the hint text tells you if you have insufficient materials

part of the whole "the game shows you how to play it so you don't gotta consult a wiki all the time" deal

Voxel game GUI showing rough wood being used and rough planks selected. The hint text says "Crafting Bark needs 4 Rough Wood" and the player's inventory only has 3

i added actually putting picked up items in your inventory but got sick and never posted it

i'm back at work now and have implemented dropping items from your inventory! which i think finishes up all the inventory management stuff

i suppose i've never formally acknowledged this because all our previous games are available on linux, but yes: block game will be available for linux and steam deck

from the faq (enikofox.com/blockgame/ ):
Linux support? The forementioned 2012 laptop runs Linux Mint, so that's a yep. Plus we can't neglect our friends who want to play on Steam Deck, can we?

figured out drops. i want them to go straight into your inventory when you break something, but i also wanted a satisfying drop animation. so i decided to have both!

just don't look down, i haven't implemented the actual "going into inventory" part yet :'D

i managed to get drops done in the same day \o/ had to improve the physics so things accelerate and decelerate smoothly for the drops to move sideways, so now the player moves smoother, too. really happy with how this turned out

implemented the renderer for item drops in block game. added an outline because i didn't wanna have to deal with alpha sorting these, but pure alpha testing looked kinda pants. pretty happy with how this looks though

Two stick icons and a piece of flint icon, all with a thin black outline, sitting in a voxel world as billboarded sprites to indicate item drops

looked up my web request stats to see if the block game page is getting some traffic and you can definitely see an effect where the number of requests exceeds the ambient background noise (prior to october 3rd)

i'd say that's about 160,000 extra requests. which seems good? >_>

#EniBlockGame
enikofox.com web requests per day graph, marking when block game development started (august 28, 2025), the block game page went live (october 3, 2025), and when a post was made saying press will not cover block game due to being developed in the open so word of mouth is required (october 30, 2025)

ah yes. a thumbs down button. the feature that has been tried for literally 25 years and basically every social site* that has it winds up getting rid of it

*redditors don't bother coming into my mentions
well did it work for those people? no, it nver does, i mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but... ... but it might work for us.

not the most exciting video ever but i've now done the necessary work so you can move items around your inventory and split stacks in block game

if i click my mouse here, what do you think happens?

spoilers: it's not rewinding the video and playing it again

good job youtube you broke something that's worked for the past 15 years. amazing. did AI code that for you?
a screenshot of the bottom left corner of the youtube web player after a video has ended. the tooltip shows that the mouse cursor is over the rewind and play button, but the alt text says "more videos" and its faintly visible that the suggested video underneath the bottom player bar is highlighted in dark gray

did the interior too
inside of a little house. there's two small windows on the long end of the wall next to a log bench. in the corner a log sits with a fern on top. the short wall has a taller window. there appears to be a beam holding up the ceiling. it is currently dark outside

got bored and made a little house in block game :3

#EniBlockGame
A small house at dusk with trees in the background. The corners are made up of logs, while the walls are stone. The floor and ceiling are rough wood planks and inside a log bench can be seen. A torch next to the front door illuminates the building in the waning light of day.

still really like the direct+indirect lighting system in block game. don't think i'll ever get tired of the nuanced lighting it creates
a cave descends into the depths. a torch sits on a corner block, illuminating the area but casting diagonal shadows downwards where the direct light of the torch can't reach, leaving half of the cave shaft illuminated only by indirect bounce light

got tired of tiny and off-center item icons so i spent some time in the icon renderer to add auto scaling and centering for every item in the game

finally got to make a new block: rough planks! you get these by using an axe to cut bark blocks into rough wood and then using rough wood on itself to craft the rough planks (consuming 2 pieces of wood in the process)

#EniBlockGame #GameDev #PixelArt 🎮
screenshot of a rough plank floor with part of a rough plank wall. the inventory is open and the cursor is over rough wood. the controls hint says to press E to craft rough planks

got a whole crafting gameplay loop going. bash together flint and stick to make axe, use axe to break bark blocks, use axe on the blocks to create wood, use axe on the wood to create sticks, combine sticks with flamereed to create torches, then go and light up a cave :D

block game's first tool dropped today, on the 2 month anniversary of starting development! no longer can you punch out tree trunks, now you have to combine flint and a stick to make a flint axe to break trees with

happy 2 months, block game! 🥳🎉

okay i've modelled and pixelled bushes that aren't just leaf blocks and yeah, this is looking nice and lush now! you can also walk through bushes as requested, and you can still break them for sticks for torches
