This past week I spent most of my time implementing an infinite world and world threading which sucked most of the week dry. However I did find the time to update one other thing.
In Tile Miner you have an energy bar. It goes down from things like breaking blocks, walking, and fighting. But one element that was missing from the game was swimming. Until now when you stepped on the water it looked like this:
At one point you couldn’t even touch water (it was a collidable object). Now you can swim but at a cost. Firstly you move at half speed. Secondly you lose energy even while standing still. Why? Because it’s exhausting to tread water. Also keep in mind that you can’t fight while swimming. Here’s a new image of swimming:
Next week the plan is to make some big changes to the UI to make item selection and crafting easier. (Not to mention fixing some minor bugs from the infinite world changes).
