    I love me some minecraft-like games. This seems like it will be a great game to explore and play around with!

    I'm sorry has there been a release date yet? Or still beta testing?

    Still in beta, but I think they're aiming for late October/early November. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone.

    I have a couple questions about JJ:
    1) I saw some maps for the game either in this thread or on their blog (I can't remember which). Does that imply that there is a limited amount of digging one can do, or is there some way players can continue digging and looking for stuff (either through the dirt re-growing, or entering newly created areas, etc)?
    2) Is there a finite amount of inventory space? In games like these, I find it fun to try to collect all of the different items, but obviously that won't be possible if there is very limited inventory space.

    I wonder, Dazarath, have you played Terraria? Or Minecraft?

    I'm fairly certain the inventory management will be like that and from what I've read the crafting is more Terraria-like.

    If you haven't, I'm pretty certain there is limited inventory space, but you can make chests to store your stuff and from pictures there are shelves to display items you pick up as well. Depending on how much stuff there is you probably won't need too much space.


    No idea on the size limits, need one of the testers to answer that. ^^
    (Though I assume it will be limited like Terraria as well)

    Hi Dazarath, i'll try to answer to your questions.

    1) The world is finite, but very very big. If a world gets exausted you can always use another save slot to generate another world, take the resources from there, and bring them to your world, since the inventory is shared.

    2) The inventory is of course limited, but you can build various types of chests which can contain all the stuff you want.

    So it works pretty much exactly like Terraria?

    Hey!
    I'm Jack, the developer of the game.

    Yes, the world is limited but in my mind I would to have chunks, I just haven't got enough time to develop them yet. Inventory is of course limited (who wants an infinite inventory?) and you can either place things inside chests, either place them on various objects in the world (shelves, tables, etc). I would possibly develop bags so that you can carry bags with you (maybe item specific) but that's another story :p

    On adventure mode or whatever you should make it limited but if theres a creative mode it should be infinity

    You touch the Screen if you wana destroy or build something and if you wana move around you swipe and keep holding into the direction you wana go.

    It`s pretty clever so once you get used to it you can almost play it like a Jump'n'Run Game :D

    These videos don't do justice. These videos make the game look laggy. Which it isn't at all. The game runs extremely smooth the whole time you're playing it. No lag what so ever.
