thehauntingsoul Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I freaking love this game and I have NO idea why. I've tried explaining it to friends but it's impossible to pitch the idea to anyone with even a mild amount of success. I like how panicked I get when I get lost underground, it's enough to drive a man mad! One thing I have trouble with is finding diamonds though. It seems like my diamond tools wear out before I find enough diamonds to make a replacement. Also I just started experimenting with minecarts and am going to dabble with the wires/switches next and see what sort of crazy shit I can come up with. I'll post pics at some point if I remember. thank fuck for this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumpenprol Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 i hope he doesn't make the game less fun with all this "torches burn down" "tougher enemies" "more danger the deeper you go" business. I think the game difficulty is balanced perfectly right now, I already lose a ton of loot at depths, either because i get mobbed by guys coming out of a dungeon, or I fall in lava, etc. And I like that torches burn forever, I hope lanterns aren't too costly to make.

FLA FUR BIS FLE Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 does anyone else get a ulillillia vibe off of this game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr12000 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Hahahaha That's exactly what I've been thinking since I first heard of Minecraft. "Minecraft is awesome, you can totally build stuff and stuff. Look at this fucking tower I built. This tower is so fucking tall! And it only took me 30 hours to make this! Isn't this tower incredible? You can't make the tower go any higher, it's as high as it can go. Now I can totally walk around in it." Someone please tell Ulillillia about Minecraft.

klanty Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 You can't jump high enough in Minecraft to interest Ulillillia. Or endlessly grind characters in the first area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaarg Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Fuck me, if they made Ultima underworld 3, it could look something like this and I'd be drooling all around. Any Ultima underworld fans that can relate to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any Ultima underworld fans that can relate to that? from the very first second i started playing this it reminded me of ultima underword! especially when you're mining and stumble across huge, dark, unexplored caverns... that shit is totally UUW. that game was so ahead of its time. none of this awkward hax shit that doom used to make a Y dimension... UUW was true 3D FPSRPG before *anything*. i still have it on 3.5" floppy complete with box and instructions in my attic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't finish it or even play for very long but the feeling in there was still unique. Minecraft seems to have some of that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaini Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 fuck i just mined for 4 hours finding shittons of diamonds and redstone for the first time and i burned alive in lava in some unknown cave:( yesterday i found a fucking massive cave full of lava and water. so i put on my coolface and made a massive system of canals to make them meet. the result being i basically lined almost the entire cave with obsidian making any further tunnels out of it a huge pain in the arse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehauntingsoul Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Yesterday I spent an hour making a minecart track run down a slope that started at the absolute height limit of the game. It then goes down into a mountain, up out the other side and down a few more slopes (note how you can tell when I realized I can skip 2 rows, and then 3: Here's a few more pics of my setup before i made the ramp: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 that's a lot of resources, I'm guessing you hacked your inventory? Are minecarts actually useful for anything? I made a small length of test track, and built a car with a furnace in it, but couldn't figure out if i could actually drive myself around at high speeds...

Yep, still trying to figure out the point of furnace carts myself. You can't ride them, you can't link carts so sitting behind it makes no difference... Maybe it's not fully implemented yet?

Furnace carts can only push, not pull. The main point of these carts is to push carts with chests back to your base, without having to go out of your mine.

But it's a bit of a struggle if you have to go uphill with the carts. Actually.. It's a fucking full on nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest disparaissant Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 i just finally got around to trying this out, holy addicting. got a good starting area, near a giant field of sand and a huge underground cavern. built a giant tower out of stone and glass, preeeeeetty cool. ive still got like 600+ glass blocks, i think im just going to build a giant transparent walkway to nowhere because building up has gotten tiresome.
