Covered Ruins floor test. Here it's rng, chosen at random from the 3 possible floor types.
I think I want to limit it to be just around Ruins Features, and maybe near the Ruin's Walls?

To bring more light to positive people in the world, this October I want to give a shoutout or gratitude to one person every day. Call it Gratitober.

I will create a thread of people to spotlight because I think these are awesome people that have contributed positively to myself or the world.

At some point I need to work on the ground tiles for caves and ruins, I already have the dirt>rock blend tiles but I want rock>ruins too.
Also, something I've wanted from the start is puddles that you can walk through. I'm guessing a shader is going to be best for that?

my aim with block game is to try to outdo minecraft a little with each feature. it's aspirational, so it won't always happen, but i'd say i definitely made a better cursor than minecraft >_>

(low bar, i know, but still)

Eniko Fox @enikofox.com · 22h

added an outline to the 3d cursor so it's always visible

when i was a kid i didn't understand how this worked and i thought every CD that was manufactured had to have a monster put onto it. like they'd go up to ringo starr or whatever and ask him what monster he wants and he'd say "ouhh this DEfinitely has a "Battle Rocks" quality to it! peace and love.!"

There we go! Features now effect which floor layout parts are used!
This was already the case for floors with only one feature, but since I added the multipart Ruins all parts were the same (aka all with water around them).

It warms my heart that gremlins and goblins are becoming more and more culturally accepted, associated with authenticity and unorthodox creativity and even used as terms endearment

Unlike gnomes, which seem to enter a period of marginalization and decline

What could possibly go wrong!

Balmut @balmut.bsky.social · 1d

I want it so the rooms with water only spawn it around the areas with a feature, instead of all of them. To give more unique shapes, since they currently all have water around them and it looks a little weird having ore vines with a moat X'D

Balmut @balmut.bsky.social · 1d

Reworked the code again, and now I can make the Teleporter/Stairs before the Ore Veins are made, instead of doing it after then destroying any Veins in the way.

Next I need to update the data to store the area type instead of that being stored separate, so I can better control the ground. [cont]

#trashtober 2025 day 7: posy🌸
posy has one of my most favorite character designs in infinity nikki and it’s a shame they don’t make her more expressive in game.

a painting iris made of posy from the video game infinity nikki. posy is a “yardling,” a pink palette plant creature wearing a leaf halter top that helps nikki manage her home. posy is also wearing a hat made out of fluffy cotton and leaves.
