One of the things I love about #NodeCore is that, despite being conceptually in the #Infiniminer / #Minecraft genre, it has a very original and quirky take on it. This also reflects on a number of details down to the level of semantics —and that's where my love turns into hate when I want to translate it.
I was watching Joel Vinesauce stream that Ikea SCP game and he commented "oh it's Minecraft" half-jokingly when he found you break down random furniture for supplies.
Rewatching I realized the game really IS minecraft from a game design point. You mine, you craft, but the health meter also only refills over time, based on your food just like minecraft.
It's also infinitely generated and has a bed that regens health (as it used to in MC)
Did you know Minecraft is celebrating its 15th anniversary? This day 15 years ago a first public version of Minecraft got released - Java Edition Classic 0.0.11a 🎉 🎂
Before you get dumbstruck by how old this game is now, and how we all are getting older with it, you can read a wiki page on anniversary celebrations: https://minecraft.wiki/w/15th_Anniversary
(it's also perfect time to buy Minecraft at 50% discounted price)
Minecraft wird heute 15 Jahre alt und wir haben es immer noch nicht geschafft, das ZDF-Sendegebäude nachzubauen. Vielleicht, weil's ein Rundbau ist ...
This was made by importing an image as heightmap with quantized colour in Avoyd to make a 1 height colour layer from the image, then exporting the materials so I could search/replace the material parameters to make them all transparent emissives. Then I pasted the aurora above the imported MC map.
I might try blurring the aurora image later so that the quantization on import to voxels causes less noise.
