At first I thought the cave was randomly generated, but then the guy started digging. So is that the gist of what you do? Do you have to dig out the entire world, or are parts of the cave already existent?

I just read what you said and I yawned!

why not make a game about the residents of washington dc digging themselves out of 6 feet of snow, that would be funny. Then they could use John Deere brand snowmobiles and clean up the streets. Infact google street view might be useful after all.

Or how about a game with rabbits trying to steal a farmers carrots by digging from underneath?

The game sort of reminds me of vagrant story. Most of it takes place in a cave or some dungeon with semi-random encounters and bosses. I heard it never went beyond expectations after it was released. Im just wondering how a walk through would be made for a game thats randomly generated, it would make conversation rather dull when no one could relate any battles to someone else playing the same game because half of it is different for each player.

@mEmO: Thank you so much! I tried searching Google and their forums, but I couldn't find anything useful... Following the advice of a YouTube video, I managed to craft sticks or something once, but I couldn't get it to work again... The Wiki article looks like it will help a LOT.

It's more of a sale price actually. Once the game is finished, it's supposed to be $20. Once it hits beta, it will be between the current and final price from what I read. I haven't bought it myself as the computer I would like to play it on can't play it.

The free versions (including multiplayer it seems) is an older version. You don't have the menu shown in the video, so you can't make new stuff.

I'm happy to have made a contribution to one of the more noteworthy threads in Allegro.cc history

Nope, but how would that make the game interesting. I can only imagine that giving the game a puzzle aspect which is something every rpg has.

I'm pretty sure that some games have an abacus like Myst maybe. I dunno.

Yeah! Browse through the minecraft forums. People are building all sorts of contraptions. With the different block mechanics, it's possible to create all the basic logic gates.

I can't figure out how to use the workbench, so I can only make sticks and torches (and I can't get the torches to work ).

The latest build also seems to be unstable. Apparently that will be fixed "today or tomorrow" though.

Ah, you have to drop them and then "use" them. Thanks.

Is there a way to heal yourself? I tried to box myself in a "cave" over night with the 2 torches you start with (because monsters spawn in darkness), but like suddenly this crazy green thing BURST THROUGH THE WALL and attacked me. It died somehow (I don't know how I could have killed it with a flower), but it left me with like 2 1/2 hearts (out of about 8 or 10) remaining and I have yet to figure out how to restore health...
