    so if you plan on making liquids does that mean you could make like an underwater house? i've seen some of the enviornments on your wikia page like mayan ruins, hell, egyptian ruins, ruins, jungle ruins, etc. i'm guessing what's on there isn't even half of the enviornment you will be able to explore. if you did impliment oceans you could make underwater caves kind of like sanctum or you could make the lost city of atlantis to explore. the golden city would be a great place to go into as well.

    a rain forest, an ice level, a volcanic island(pre or post explosion), a rome type city in ruins, a ghosttown, a cave inside a waterfall, an island with a big village, an old japanese city, tunnels kind of like from vietnam where there were vast tunnels, maybe a space level, or a heaven level.

    if you did make big bodies of water you should allow us to make houses on top of them kind of like a pirate ship or something. btw great work on all of this i can't wait to download it immediately. and the biggest thing is im really curious able these quests will they be like trying to find a certain thing for someone or will it vary and be more elaborate than that because i definetely think quests will improve the game vastly.

    Do we know how much this will cost when it's released? Can't wait to play it. Can you post a new video or something just to keep up the hype :)

    No... The devs have stated several times that's the price.

    I've gotta say, the production values on this one look sky-high. Loving the art! Hopefully it'll be more stable than "Crafted", too. xD

    By the way, are you making the tools lose their durability even when you don't get the bonus for them? In my opinion, when you don't have the dexterity of your fingers on a keyboard to switch between tools, you shouldn't be penalized for being too impatient to switch back and forth between tools/fists to conserve durability. Just a suggestion, in case you haven't implemented it! Or have a reason against it. =)

    Hey ikemike no worries. Using the wrong tool to harvest a specific material does not affect the durability of that tool. (For example, using a shovel to harvest a rock material.) Instead the tool will have the strength of the the characters fists and the duration bar for using the wrong tool will not be penalized. This is used to help conserve the durability of the tools and you don't have to switch items around so much.;)


    Edit: Further testing it does actually penalize a little bit but it's not that much of a penalty. It is pretty balanced and does still conserves the durability of tools pretty well. It takes several rocks to harvest about 4 or 5 to affect the rock shovel a tiny bit. (Not only that but I don't really use the wrong tools that much because it takes too long to break the material up).

    Wow! Nice to see you guys are paying attention to these kinds of details. Instabuy!

    Edit: Well, I mean for those pesky dirt patches you come across while trying to mine a perfect staircase. Dx

    Question -

    I'm sure I'm not the only one who hasn't really gotten into Minecraft. I played the older version for all of a few minutes, and same for one of the later releases. I have bought Eden on my iphone, and that was ok, but still not what I was after.
    Now I am looking for a good sandbox/exploration game, and this looks really cool with a few variances between the others.
    Should I be holding out, or give Crafted a try?

    Sorry if this is the wrong thread/forum to post this.

    Cheers. :)

    Well it was submitted on the 1st, so maybe this week, maybe next. It'll drop whenever it is approved (I think)

    Hey guys, Junk Jack has been released! :D :D

    After a week waiting for review and a 15 minutes of real review here we are! It's available world wide but sometimes Apple needs some time to propagate the application over all the stores so be patient if you can't find it..

    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/junk-jack/id436555490?ls=1&mt=8

    Have fun with our game!
