Kind of a shame this was dropped

[Red Purger]

I really like how the game looks as well as certain mechanics. Could have been an fun game if some of the jank had been ironed out, but at this point it's basically just a demo.

Game was not dropped, it was completed. Single player is basically a demo of what you can do.
As for janky he was a lone developer with the occasional help of a couple friends. Also considering he made his own engine and damn near made it open source the game is really a hidden gem. I think most people don't understand the potential of what you can do in this as he really don't show it in his marketing.
There is also a workshop if you didnt see that.

What potential is there exactly? As I see it, there isn't much to do. There are some cool features like the ability to fly around, and the "give life" spell, but the give life spell is the incarnation of jank.
Not sure exactly what there is to do in this game. Maybe build? I would probably enjoy the building aspect more if the world gen wasn't so messed up with most of the maps I generate being chaotic arrangements of mountains and valleys. Enemies just spawn randomly and all act pretty much the same.

I just assumed the game was dropped since it seems so unfinished, and while it's quite impressive that the game and the engine was made by one dude, it's still a very rough product. I have a hard time finding enjoyment in it. If the enemy spawn system was tweaked a bit, and the terrain generation was tuned to reduce the amount of mountainous terrain, it would improve the game by an order of magnitude. Perhaps I'm missing something?

Skyrim meets Minecraft good example. The amount of things people can do in those games with the open creativity is also here. That is what I mean, but I don't think most people want to make games just play them. So there is not enough workshop DLC or addons what ever to make that happen. This is a perfect place for a somebody who wants to make a game but not from scratch. You can completely change the materials of the blocks and make them metallic space blocks change the sky and make ships planes railways add new creatures more spacelike then make a new game.

Oh so you're saying the game has potential to be added onto, not that it has potential in the raw gameplay as it is. That makes more sense.
So how do you get into modding it? I'd be interested in doing that myself.

I made a basic block item guide long ago, there are also many other tutorials also.

so wait, are the mod tools for the game integrated into the game itself? As in, you don't need external modding tools to edit the game files?

yes exactly, you just need to go to creative instead of single player, you can get a flat empty semi voxel map you can start creating your world on

Right, like I was saying a hidden gem. I just dont think people know what you can do in this game as it is not really advertised in the store. I thought the minecraft people would be all over this, and then joined by other modders from other games.
Needs a bit of marketing overhaul no offense Osaris.

I actually have some experience modding the fallout games and stuff but had no idea you could even do that kind of stuff with this.

Nice! I actually upgraded from modder to Unity developer about 3 years ago.
This was my first game I modded, before I moved onto something I can use FBX files with,
That was only thing that I was not able to do here and Blender is where my real skill is.
