Craftica Update: Various Operation Improvements and Fixings

This update has made various improvements and fixings to the operations in the game. The biggest improvement is the swapping of the left mouse and the right mouse usages, such that now, the left mouse click will enter the mining mode or do mining operation, and the right mouse click will enter the making mode or do building operation. This way is not only more consistent with some other operations, it also avoids a few problems that existed previously. Another improvement is the hotkey support for selecting block sizes for making and mining. Previously, this was done automatically according to the block amount (or unit) in the active slot of the hot bar and the block size of the targeting chunk. But it appeared to be confusing for new players. So adding this hotkey support will make it easier for new players to get familiar with building and mining, and also make it more convenient for everyone. With the support for explicit block size selection, the mining mode is also improved to support three types of mining: [olist]

  • When the working block size is the same as the block size of the target chunk, a whole block will mined out. This can avoid mistakingly mining out partial blocks when the mouse is not properly aimed;
  • When the working size is smaller than the target size, it will support mining a partial block just like before;
  • When the working size is bigger than the target size, it supports mining multiple blocks within the working size range at the target location. [/olist] In order for players seeing the block/item and its placement better, its placement preview now supports a fading animation based on transparency. With this new support, the hotbar widgets are made slightly smaller to make better view for players. Also the selection of blocks/items, variants and shapes is slightly improved to make it easier to select using digit keys. This update has also made various fixings, mainly to the torch, lantern and driving seat etc. items, as well as to block/item placement. It also fixed a position drifting problem at game loading for player characters and some other agents.

    Craftica: A Next-Generation Creative Sandbox Game with Subvoxels


    Craftica is a next-generation creative sandbox game with a near-infinite world represented by voxels and subvoxels. It is inspired by Minecraft, but it takes the voxel representation to the next level with subvoxels of multiple sizes. Craftica currently supports both creative and survival modes with main focus on the creative mode.

    Voxel and Subvoxels


    In Craftica the basic voxel is a full cube and the subvoxels are partial cubes with one or more corner chopped off.



    The support of subvoxels in Craftica make it possible to use relatively smooth representations of objects in the game. Also the voxel and subvoxels in Craftica are supported at multiple size levels, so that fine structures can be represented at a scale comparable to the real world.



    In fact Craftica has very good support for Chinese architectures, and includes a large number of standard structures with Chinese architecture styles.

    Smart Placement of Blocks and Items


    Craftica is designed to allow intuitive construction of objects using subvoxels, and supports consistent operations for placing basic blocks (voxels and subvoxels) and items.


    In-Scene Crafting


    Item crafting in Craftica can be done in the scene, using formulas that are structural and intuitive.

    Village


    In Craftica worlds, some places are generated with villages. Each village is generated with a few houses and at least one workshop and one defensive fort or tower, and spawns with at least one warrior to defend the village.



    The relationship between a village and a player is characterized by affinity. Affinity can be zero, positive or negative, indicating a neutral, friendly or hostile relationship.

    The affinities between villages and player(s) are initialized randomly. Normally, there will be more neutral villages than friendly and hostile ones, and more friendly ones than hostile ones. Their actual percentages may vary according to game modes and difficulty levels.

    Trade


    When a positive affinity reaches certain levels, the player will have free access to some village structures and storages (different structures and storages may have different affinity thresholds). And when a negative affinity reaches a certain level, the village warrior will actively attack the player.

    Trading with villagers or defending the village against hostile mobs will improve the affinity between the player and the village. On the other hand, attacking villagers will deteriorate the affinity.

    Survival


    In survival mode, barbarians and other hostile mobs will be generated. They will attack the player and villages. The only way to survive is to fight back or run!


    Instant Help and Hint


    Craftica can provide instant help and hint that is relevant to the current state of the game and the player. Such help and hint can be turned on or off with the H key at any time. Instant help and hint is automatically turned on when a new world is started, unless it is disabled in the game options.
