just to prove I'm still working on this: Here are some screenshots. This time the graphics are permanent, so this will show how the game will look like once it's finished.

do you like the new graphics?

I know that. I've been editing the texture coordinates manually becouse the coordinates generated by blender were entirely wrong. This was the best i could make them. Also the center of the texture is brighter than the edges which gives an ugly effect. Maybe it will give better results when I use a good camera instaed of the one of my cellphone.

just too prove I'm still working on this: here's a screenshot of the terain in the cretaceous period. The terrain can easily be made bigger because only a few tiles are loaded at the same time.

Looks very nice indeed. Glad it's still being worked on.

Wow, this is actually coming along quite nicely!

This project had been on hold for quite a long time, but now I'm going to pick this one back up. I finally started adding some gameplay, and now it's possible to harvest leaves, sticks and logs from trees. You can't use them yet, but it's a start.

Here's a video to show how the current system works:


And as you see, the graphics are still pretty basic. I promise that I'll improve them after I've added most of the gameplay.

Currently, harvesting works by right-clicking the tree until it falls over. You need to have an axe in the inventory to do this. Then when it fell over, you can take the leaves by right-clicking the tree again (leaves will be food for herbivores in later versions) and you don't need an axe for it. For harvesting the sticks and the trunk, you need an axe or a saw. When the tree is fully harvested, a stump will appear and the tree will regenerate in approximately 35 seconds.

If you have a better idea of how to harvest resources, please post.
