Advanced Skeletal Animation System!

Ive been working on a skeletal animation system thats more advanced than any other current games that i can find. with 21 bones we have the freedom of very smooth and complex animations.. none of that spritesheet stuff most other games use.. Buildaria supports any possible animation you can think of.. dances and what not are going to be awesome! best of all.. players can create animations!!! Cant wait to see what people come up with!

Let there be LIGHT!

Let there be LIGHT!

Yup, we have dynamic lighting now! What that means is blocks that are able to be lit are lit.. the ones behind them are darker etc. I decided to let the light go a couple levels deep to make it a little easier to find ores etc. but not too easy. I had played with various forms of lighting.. more realistic and blended which soft fall offs etc and it just wasnt looking right.. then i completely revamped the lighting system for the 4th time and tried per block and i love it! Buildaria breaks the sandbox barrier by embracing HQ textures instead of the typical pixel textures like everyone else.. but its still a block sandbox so i feel like this look keeps true to that.

Startup / Menu Screen

Startup / Menu Screen

It doesnt seem like a lot but this was a ton of work to change the game from a single game instance to now having a startup screen like a normal game where you from there can do multiple things besides just launch a world. This screenshot doesnt do it justice and the colored squares you see are just visual placeholders for me during development.. they wont be there normally lol.. on the left one will be your character name and login etc. and on the right will be the important news and updates. as you see bottom left we have realtime online versioning with the remote server so you can know when you need to update to the latest version etc.!

Building!

Ive been quietly updating a whole bunch of things without any posting so i thought id show a little progress.. most of the work isnt seen.. its more in optimizing and cleaning up code to make room for more! Here is a little screenshot of a test house i made real quick.. it shows the new back block system used for support and visual appeal.. looks super awesome in the caves. I also turned up lights in the world to see all blocks that are normally out of view for testing purposes only. What do you think about that kool little workbench haha
