    I think that now isn't the best time to suggest as many things, mostly because it's practically still in alpha. The core game should be completed before all the other, supplementary things are added in (like magic).
    There's still a pretty good to-do list the devs have to cover, let them work on it. :D

    We welcome any suggestions you guys have! You guys might think of something we don't. I am currently trying to implement the inventory. I already have most the toolbar and health/mana working correctly. So now you can choose what types of blocks to place with the toolbar. Mana drains when using the dig aswell. Once inventory and rudimentary crafting is done I'll post another video (hopefully this weekend).

    Will there be any form of resourse gathering?

    Just a quick thing, how about an ingame screenshot and upload facility to show off creations?

    Yes there will be resource gathering. Screenshots will be possible. Uploading will be possible as well. But keep in mind that uploading may not be in the first version.

    YAY PLEASE DO!!!!
    that would be so AWSOME !!
    So far all these ideas sound AWSOME !!
    I can't wait for the game!!
    Oh also I've got a question for instabuy games, when you add more mobs to the game what types do you think you'll add ?
    I would really apreciate it if you could reply :)

    We will be adding friendly mobs like chickens, cows, pigs, birds. But more importantly we will be adding monsters like gremlins (like the red guy in our video), floating eyes that can stun you, flying reapers, trolls, goblins, leprechauns, etc... Just to give you an idea. Also again, keep in mind that not all these mobs will be in at release since we want to release sooner rather than later.

    So will they spawn with a spawner like in minecraft or randomly generate? Just wondering, though personally I would prefer a spawner so we could keep mobs under control more easily.

    Hey Instabuy games

    I have been following this thread for a while, but I've only just got round to actually making an account. Its coming along nicely now :)

    Just thought I'd throw in some suggestions your way, I have both Eden and MC World Explorer, so i know their mistakes.

    1)When a character is looking below them, and trying to place a block beside the block they are standing on, it is very difficult to do this in Eden and MC World Explorer, as the character just falls off. If you could adjust it so that a character could look down and see the side of the block they are standing on, it would be a lot easier to build bridges and horizontal lines high up in the sky.

    2)The land feels very plain/boring/repetitive in Eden, unlike Minecraft which has drastic changes in the landscape. I know you have started creating canyons and such. Keep this up! Mountains and huge canyons are very interesting and really hook players when it comes to exploring! I would love to be able to make houses balancing on mountain tops and huge bridges. :)

    3)I think someone mentioned it earlier; ice bergs and frozen lakes would be nice? and some maybe lovely penguins for future updates? :D

    4)Do the trees grow back if you cut them down? that would be cool.

    5)Pets and trainable animals would make my day! if say, using magic, you could train a cow that you could command. Nothing too drastic, just some simple sit/follow/attack commands.

    I know your trying to put lots of our ideas into your new game, and I understand that you wont be able to put all of these in, so don't feel bad to say no.

    Many thanks :)

    This game totally reminds me of MineCraft, are they anything alike?

    To save Instabuy going through this again, yes they are similar, they are both sandbox building/survival games in a 3D block land.

    Do not mistake this a a clone though, as Instabuy have created their own engine from scratch, and they are incorporating new, original features in too.

    Yes, fundamentally. It will probably have a very similar feel to Minecraft except the use of magic, colored blocks, mobs of enemies, etc without the feeling of being a clone.

    Hello

    I've got quite a few more suggestions if you want them, or have you got enough things in the pipeline? I just don't want to appear persistent.

    Keep up the good work! :)
