DJ espeed Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Minecraft: It's only hot if Anywho, I found out that there's a free version, which browser-based. I suppose this can pass the time until I can buy it. =/ Smidge, was that the embodiment of awesome I just saw there*? I think so. Edit: *In the above screenshot by DW Edit 2: I tried Minecraft Classic. It's pretty neat, and I'll have to consider "upgrading" to alpha. Worked pretty fine on my MacBook, although the audio could've run a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Yeah, I know all about Pigs jacking my fuckin' minecarts. It's the bane of the game really. I mean, you have no idea how hard it is to have a functioning railway complete with multiple junctions when those fucking pigs show up to ruin your day every few seconds. In other news, I've begun work on a massive tasteless Minecraft McMansion on Smidge's server. My house on the other sever is much sexier of course... better opening area pretty awful mansion shot (yeah, this is probably going to suck) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DimensionWarped Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 It's not mine, Smidge made it. Besides, it's just a flat sprite essentially... no different than making a threaded bead thingy from a sprite. Hardest part is picking the right colors for everything really. Now, what's far more impressive than those is the giant Tails statue that was being worked on that I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candescence Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Yeah, I noticed the gigantic Tails statue. Holy cow. Also, what the hell is up with Smidge's server and dungeons? I've found one in a tunnel someone else made, another while sailing alongside the coast because I heard zombie moans, and then while I got lost in another tunnel, I hear goddamned spiders. Seriously.

Duckboy Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Smidge's Tails statue is right across from my house' window AND the sun/moon rise over it! edit: Smidge will probably hook you UP with stuff if you ask him. I will use all the water. All of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicyoda Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Out of curiosity, what are the black blocks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smidge204 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Obsidian - Black Stone - Dark Gray Iron - Medium Gray Cloth - Light Gray Snow - White Gold - Yellow/Orange Sponge - Lighter yellow Wood - Pale yellow Log - Brown/Dark Red (mostly brown) Brick - Red Dirt - Light Brown Leaves - Green (Can't use cactus due to adjacent blocks) You can get various shades of blue by using ice (which is translucent) and placing "gray shade" blocks behind it. This is the trick I used for the eggmobile's seat. Works great but of course it's two thick in those spots... But yeah, making the 2D sprites isn't that hard once you get your palette sorted. I use a zoning method: divide the sprite into 10x10 chunks and fill in each row of one chunk at a time (I used glass filler when the chunk had empty space). The hard part is keeping track of where you are, since it's impossible to see much of what you're doing when you're close enough to work on it. That, and having to climb back to the top after falling. LOTS of falling... Here's some screencaps I took before tearing down the scaffolding: =Smidge= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candescence Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 In Smidge's server currently building myself a two-storey 'house' into a large hill which has quite literally a flat slide, it's somewhat a bit off from the spawn point, across the water.

DJ espeed Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 My bro just did me a favor and downloaded Minecraft, but the premium account model sucks*. I need to get myself up to that level to use it (FACK). So, for the time being until I have upgraded my account to premium, I have a useless app. *But for Notch, it rocks, 'cause it's funding this piece of awesomeness, and he deserves it. Edit: Looks like my bro will let me use his account (UBRz). Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asuma Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Why doesn't he buy you a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ espeed Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Cause he's lazy and cheap. *He's trying to save money for whatever endeavor he's trying to save up for. Technically speaking, I can buy it, just with what I have in both my checking and savings, but I need to build up some money in my savings and I need the money in checking for my Netflix (I stayed on after the 1 month free trial). My family is loving the service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DimensionWarped Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Smidge finished his masterpiece: Also, I found out today that Notch made a Sonic fangame back in 2005. Yep, that officially means a Sonic fangamer has eventually risen to become a millionaire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ espeed Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 With some help from my brother, I have created my humble abode in the scenic waters near the Tails Statue.

shadowgoten Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 UPDATE IS OUT DOWNLOAD NOW! Good show of faith IMO, 1 day early, though he wasn't able to deliver on EVERYTHING he wanted, he did a good amount of work on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowgoten Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 SHIT SON LOOK WHAT I FOUND. Yes this block can be thrown onto your head. Also biomes are pretty neat so far.

DJ espeed Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 So anyone else finding themselves unable to join Smidge's server after updating? 'Cause I sure am. Smidge, you might want to update, as I'm getting an "older client" error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ila Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Yeah, he probably hasn't go around to updating the server stuff yet. My friends and I have yet to as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
