new (bi)weekly block game thread cause doors are done! \o/

not only are doors 2 blocks tall now, there's a generic system to create up to 16x16x16 multi-block structures just by specifying the positions and blocks in json

anyway, doors make a huge difference to the game's feel. with doors and tables and such these shacks are starting to feel like real houses

previous dev thread can be found here: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@eniko/115700697065263159

and you can learn more about block game by visiting the website at https://enikofox.com/blockgame

the json required to define multi-block structures is super simple btw. you just specify the x,y,z coords and the block type for each block. here's the json for a door:

"Structure": {
"0,0,0": "CrudeDoorX",
"0,1,0": "CrudeDoorUpperX"
}

i think this could be real nice for modders in the future 🤔

they still have a full block hitbox atm but they sure do make things look nice and cozy :3

had a go at making the stone texture more like real natural stone. not sure if i actually like it. what do y'all think? poll in the next post

which stone texture in the previous post do you like better?

@eniko Old one is way more readable, but it is NOT a block of stone. It is a wall made by cementing smaller stones together.
The new one feels a bit too noisy to me. Maybe reduce the contrast between the dark and the lighter pixels?

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

hmm i think i like this one better than the old one?

figuring out how to implement fence gates in block game has taken a lot more brain power than you'd think it would given i already have doors implemented

added fence gates to block game. they really tie the front yard together, but they also manage to pull double duty as basic windows which is nice
