Whats new

Been a while since the last update on this project, but I have been at work adding more systems to the engine. However here is a list of every thing new in the game.

• Created a Structure Creator System
• Enemy AI
• Added new Trees

Crafting

Inside the invintory screen, you can now see a list of item which are avaiable to craft. The crafting system checks all the items that are in the players hotbar and inventory and loops through all the crafting recipes and shows only items which are able to be crafted.

Main Menu

Finally added a way to create and load into game saves. To create a new world you just input the world name, seed number and hit the create button. Textures for the main  menu are not done yet so this place holder will do for now.

Interactable blocks and Chests

There are now doors and chests in the game which the player can interact with by right clicking. This was a must have for any sandbox survival game because the player must be able to store their items and have interactions with the game world. Chests are saved to the game world and are saved and loaded at runtime for a seemless interaction.

Use Items From Inventory

Player now can hold and place blocks and use tools which are selected in the hotbar. Different tool allow the player to interact with different parts of the world, such as the hammer tool allows for destruction of background/wall tiles and a pickaxe allows for detruction of forground tiles.

There are also many more things which I have added but its too much to go over in one update post. However, there is steady and good progress going on for this game. Next I need to add attacking and enemy attacks plus a few more different types of enemies to add more to the game.
