Progress: Material transitions

After lots of trial and error… here is my decal-tiling-shader-splatting hybrid method in action:

So you want a new snapshot?

News Kim Jansson 2013-03-05

You can’t have one! Not yet anyway. And why is that?
Well, as you may have seen in the forum Jens is currently busy remaking the entire engine.
But soon… really soon.

What is currently going on?

News Kim Jansson 2013-02-22

Jens is currently working on “really cool things”… but they are still secret.
Some things are that the world will become more detailed and there will be smooth surfaces.
This is just a start.

One minor update to this page is that there are now more links under the Community tab.
If you have a link you would like to see there then please use this thread for it.

Minor update to the site

News Kim Jansson 2013-01-10

The devlog posts will no longer show up on the frontpage due to them being totally uninteresting for people who just wanna play the game and not read about all the boring stuff Jens do in the back

Instead, the devlog posts will now show up under the devlog page. That page also got a makeover.

A new category have instead been added called “New Releases”. It means just what you think it means…

Added some stuff below the footer. A place very few will ever visit…

Changed the two menu links called “Media” and “Community”. It is like Zanktus said in the forums. Totally unecessary to have links just leading to yet another link. We aim to make you click as little as possible. Have to watch them carpal tunnels after all.

Removed the Instagram widget due to bad use of the blockscape tag.

Added a searchfunction there instead. Wee…

Also added keymappings under the “Help” tab. Gracefully taken straight from the wiki (more or less )

Suggestions? Comments? Constructive feedback? Post them in the forum!

You should own a Blockscape t-shirt!

Hello, Kim here.

News Kim Jansson 2012-12-23

I am the guy responsible for the new homepage. Well, the stuff behind the scenes at least because
the layout is more or less Jens’ old one.

So what’s new?
The Instagram box on the startpage. Here images tagged with #blockscape will be shown. Random order and only 1 at the time.
More questions answered in the FAQ section. And yes, I have taken it upon myself to bug Jens so he will update the page more frequently, or at least send me stuff so I can update it.
I’m really gonna bug him about this. Believe you me!
When it comes to questions about the page, whatever they may be, then send them to me so Jens can use his time to develop the game

Anything questions?

Well… you can’t really mail me any atm but I’m gonna ask Jens to get me a mail account soo… use the forum for now.
