I forgot to ask.. what do you actually do in Moonman?  I'm not sure! :D My main idea at the moment is for it to be a world exploration/sandbox game, in many ways like Dwarf Fortresses Adventurer mode. So the first step on loading the game will be to create a new world, which will likely take several minutes to create. Once this is done you can create a new character within that world, choosing from a number of different moonmen, each with different states, appearances, abilities, starting equipment, etc. In this aspect it's more like Nethack. E.g., the main moonman (the one used throughout this devlog so far) may have the ability to recharge power when the green moon is up, others may get it from eating mushrooms, etc. Eventually there will be goals within the world, but at least until then there will be the implicit goal of "find more stuff to make cool armour/weapons/devices." |

Cool, so, you'll be free to do what you want on the game, but there are some goals. Btw, MM ran lovely well on my father's MacBook Pro (gt 320m), but the fps is very unstable. It gets down to 36, and then go up to 60, and then go down to 40...  Oh, I forgot what's the command that "creates" water. What is?  |

Did you have lighting 'L' on at the time? As for water, I stupidly mapped it to Middle Click or LeftCtrl+LeftClick, which as jmcmorris pointed out gets mapped to Right Click on the mac, which removes the block placing ability - doh! It's fixed now in the code but I won't do another build until 0.3, so you might not be able to place blocks and/or place water (until you plug in a 3 button mouse). |

Not to worry, with your fancy time keeping code you can see what's causing the problem..  |

Yeh true! @coolestnerdguy, if you press f1 i think (or f2) you can bring up the profiler. let it average out for a few seconds and then if you don't mind could you either screenshot it or post the results here? cheers! |

Update: Keeping up the updates, even boring ones, gotta keep momentum up and work harder! CEGUI was giving me some aches when getting the OSX build working, but I only use it for a simple debug console, so I disabled it for now and wrote my own console: it word-wraps and scrolls slowly so you have time to read the messages. Piccy as usual.

Did you have lighting 'L' on at the time? You're welcome . Independent of the lighting be on or no the fps still the same.  When I'm just walking around, it runs about 60, sometimes 70 fps. When I jump sometimes it drops to 45, but never under that. When I'm breaking a lot of stuff with the super pickaxe, sometime it drops to 50 fps. As for water, I stupidly mapped it to Middle Click or LeftCtrl+LeftClick, which as jmcmorris pointed out gets mapped to Right Click on the mac, which removes the block placing ability - doh!

Strange... I can place blocks normally, but not wather.

 Sometimes, input goes red. That's a bad signal, right? |

I am a little disappointed that you didn't crop the top and bottom so it looks like a continuous ladder.
Wooooo ladders!

That ladder-climbing animation doesn't look too sexy  You might want to improve it probably? |

@kamac its a first attempt, and like most of the things here will probably get shoved into the game to be iterated on down the track, i've got to test it in-game to see if its crapness is actually noticable given the other things happening. anything particular you can suggest to change?

Actually, that's a good animation. Works well, not much else you can do with that size.

Weird... I can see it. Anyway, I emailed you. That's actually pretty good, I think. |

Hmm, just downloaded the OSX demo and it crashes immediately.  I am on an early 2011 MacBook Pro with Lion. Here is the crash report: http://pastebin.com/6sdpQyJC I didn't look at it all, the problem may be my fault/really obvious. |

The error is that sfml expects a version of freetype (used for font rendering) that isn't on your system -- I might just have to bundle it in the package. Thx again. |

Cool. Can't wait 'till there is a solution. You might be able to fix it by updating freetype on your system, but I'll definitely look into including it in the next mac build. :D |
