LÖVE

Would still love a response to the vote.

Screen showing the tree growth making some nice landscapes, and the much nicer state of the automaton.
Implementing units tomorrow if possible, as I need to clean up the growth code.

I tried to vote, but I thought you forgot to activate the poll or something.

It is at the bottom of the screen, on the same place that says "Upload Attachment" - There's a tab for polls.

In case you wanted a "1 post - 1 vote" type of poll, I vote "no". I prefer faster releases.

Yeah, couldn't find the poll either.

Nah, it was intended more informally, but alright, I'll get the automata polished and the growth code debugged and then give you guys v0.4 early. v0.5 will have unit wandering around, and possibly houses and farms, so I can start working on actual game mechanics

Right, Updated.
Was in a rush to get it done, so the automata hasn't been updated today. Trees now grow in a kinda buggy way, but the point is you shouldn't run out of wood in 5 seconds now.
Will get units and long plains grass and such happening soon, off to school now.
Comments appreciated.

Looks even nicer than before.

There's some sort of illumination on the terrain, depending on the height, right? I haven't looked at the code or anything, just asking. Makes it look even cooler.

Cheers for your kind words kikito
And yeah, eventually I'll use the illumination to do fog effects and such, but for now I just like the nice gradients it makes. Glad you're enjoying this.

UPDATE
I need some help guys.
The pathfinding is currently more than dead. terrible. broken. it causes hangs in the while loops, and doesnt even work properly. If someone could take a look, or just delete it all and redo it, that would help my tired, addled brain a lot.
changelog and screenie are accurate, except imagine it with anywhere between 60 and 0.2 FPS

Cool. Better watch this one.

Cheers rude
Also, i fixed it, sort of. In celebration, possibly the coolest world i've seen it produce inthusfar:

updating OP now, then sleeping.

EDIT: DONE
oh also me and a mate are writing up the score at the moment. He's damn good, if i can get you some previews i will.
