    Hey I want to buy this game but do you guys see a sale soon? Just recently bought some games and then next day there was sale, so I don't want the same thing happen with this one, I'm also worried there might be a higher price tag in the future. since its doing so well and he's adding more content.

    I just thought of a solution for you. It took a lot of deep thought. Just fork out the damn 3 bucks and support the dev. Then, no need to worry about a price hike. Why the hell would he put it on sale when it's ranked #1

    3.99 is a nice price, IMO. Just look at what you get here and then compare that to MCPE, for 6.99

    I'd say get it now. It's an excellent game. I've started venturing out more, found some awesome caves. The most recent one I haven't even fully explored yet.

    Get off the fence already, if anyone deserves your hard earned its Kaalus. :)

    If this were triple the price I still wouldn't question recommending it wholeheartedly. Procrastinating like this is wasting time you could be spending playing it.

    Totally worth the asking price, even if it goes free the very next day.

    My house. Modest, but it's home. Stone foyer and a bridge to my mining pit

    Deepest cave I've explored so far. Had to swim through two water-filled tunnels to get this spot and it still goes deeper

    I think you should make the water act more realistically. I never liked the water in Minecraft. I wonder if it would be hard to get it to work properly and actually use some sort of realistic physics. Doesn't have to be perfect but it should at least fill up an area And not just and randomly. Or settle down to the ground. I also think it would be better if trees fell when you chop the bottom or at least have the leaves fall the ground after you chopped down the trunk.

    Water is fickle, but once you get your head round the mechanics and more importantly; a water bucket, you can fix up areas that don't quite feel right.

    Using a bucket to fill areas that move fast will stop movement in that body once everywhere has enough. Try playing around with in in creative mode.


    Couple of things to note:
    - ice turns to a water spawn point when broken.

    - water can be used oddly, as a lift if it falls down the right way. (See pic, it's falling from a lake above, and acts as an elevator when stood under!)

    Realistic water physics have been tried in these games before and it always ends in tears. What would happen if you were to tunnel up into the sea? You could fill entire caverns, and that would probably crash the game.

    Certainly in Minecraft, and I'm not sure of the specific case here, liquids flow in very specific ways which can be predicted and exploited. While it's unrealistic, you have to remember you are playing a game where you put stacks of 40 meter wide blocks into your pockets. But that constant and predictable behavior has allowed for the creation of some very interesting systems in the past.

    I wish I could remember the specific instances of realistic water physics being a Bad Thing, but trust me when I say it's been tried to bad results. :p

    Quick question: how do I add a signature? Most forum's user control panels have a section where you type it in and every post then includes your sig. I don't see that here

    Exploring is so fun. Going into caves, so intense.
    This is the deepest I've entered so far:
    [​IMG]
    Still haven't reached the end yet

    I've been placing short pillars of sand or stone as I travel so I'll have a trail to follow home. Always carry a leaf block to sleep. And a spare chest, crafting table, and furnace

    I do wish there were more things in caves. Scorpions, insects, bats, rats, Descent-style dwellers

    ... I have 6 more tarantulas left to share. Mwahahahahahahaaaa...

    Those bears are fekkin nasty, they always turn up when I least expect it. One thing I like about the game is gravel and sand caving in if the block under them is removed. I wonder what other kind of environmental features could be added like this.

    Earthquakes?

    Off topic, but does anyone know about adding signatures?

    Oh yes. I'd have lost my sanity doing some if it in survival. My other world is made in survival (courtyard one) and as i said it feels very satisfying knowing each block took that extra effort. But right now I'm just loving creative mode, it's much more immediate and lets me try things out without worrying too much if I used the right stone or material.

    I'd recommend having a world in both modes, and perhaps even a cruel mode map just to scare the crap outta yourselves! I've yet to do that... I think I'd be too precious about my 3x4 wood cabin to ever leave it.


    This is why I lost interest in MCPE, you had an awesome vision, you started building an epic structure and then wallop your face against the end of the world. Balls. SC gets all my love.

    I don't think it's possible with the app. Atleast not on my iPhone. In the browser theough it should work. On the PC/Mac it's under user cp somewhere that you set the signature. Then when you post there's a check box under the message box that you have to select for the sig to show before submitting a reply. Once you do it once it should default to show the sig.
