3 comments by blockstory on Feb 4th, 2013

After an intense month of hacking and working hard on it,  we have released version 5.0 of Block Story.
The changelog is ridiculously big.  We have incorporated suggestions from our desura customers, as well as from other sources.
We went through 7 beta tests to make sure we delivered a quality product that you will enjoy.  Easily, this is our largest release ever.

Major features include Creative Mode,  Teleporting,  a Radar, speed improvements and separate chests. 

Enjoy the fruit of our labor, we have put our heart into it.

New Features

  • The terrain loads 100% faster
  • Placing and digging reacts instantly now, no more lag when building
  • Radar as seen in this video
  • Creative mode, now you have infinite supplies in creative mode
  • Teleportation to beds
  • New Quests for Radar
  • Quests now teach you recipes as rewards
  • Trident of Poseidon
  • Chests are separate now as seen here Warning: get your valuables out of the chests before updating
  • Removed gravity when flying in creative
  • Creative mode indicator in the main menu
  • Different blocks break at different speed
  • Different blocks make different sounds when you walk on them
  • Different blocks make different sounds wfhen you dig them
  • Now you can see how much damage you inflict on mobs
  • Inter-world teleporting
  • Dramatically better graphics by using mipmaps (ios, mac and pc)
  • Head bobbing can be turned off
  • PC and mac controls can be changed
  • Now you can adjust Field of view
  • New flight effect
  • new settings for pc control
  • Added lots of sound effects
  • Monsters in creative mode
  • new recipe for teleporter
  • new soundtracks
  • new texture for unobtainium
  • new shader that is faster in mobile to give you some extra frames per second
  • the mouse wheel now switches between items
  • Random names for NPCs
  • New loading screen
  • Improved animation of hand tools
  • Mass crafting,  because clicking 500 times the crafting table really stinks.
  • Fixed multitouch splitting.  Tap and hold a stack, then with a second finger, tap an empty slot to transfer half your stack.
  • Left mouse button uses blocks or digs them instead of placing (PC only)
  • An easter egg that has to do with light, that is very cool.

 

Bug fixes

  • Fixed issue where placing models particularly on frozen sea would not show
  • Fixed picking up model items that would not stack in the inventory
  • Fixed archery issue, where sometimes you would not hit a mob
  • Fixed issue where big monsters could spawn half buried
  • Fixed fog color underground
  • Fixed dragon shield
  • Fixed issue that caused items to disappear from the inventory when dragged over them.
  • Fixed bug that caused multiple slots to be selected in he crafting table
  • Fixed Hugo quest
  • Many small fixes

So it's Minecraft with a larger world, the ability to fly, more mobs, and creatures in a block world that are not made of blocks. I like that you took Minecraft and went a step further. I don't like that it's still Minecraft despite that.

Marsha, there are tons of differences between block story and Minecraft. Infinite up and down, quests, leveling up, skill points, colored lights, floating islands, tons of mobs, cars, spells on mobs, guns.

Right about the only thing we have in common with minecraft is the block terrain, which minecraft copied from infiniminer, and arguably crafting.
Everything else is very different.

Saying this is still Minecraft is like saying Minecraft is still Infiniminer.

You cannot have colored lights or infinite up and down with mods. It needs to be designed in from the ground up.

You cannot have 10x the framerate with mods. This is important particularly for people with built in intel video cards

You cannot have full compatibility between mobile and desktop with mods. With Block Story you can move your worlds between them.

You cannot make Minecraft 60% cheaper with mods.

The worlds get automatically upgraded with new features, so you never have to chose between new features and your old worlds. Minecraft cannot do that even with mods.

You can add quests, more mobs, texture packs leveling and others to minecraft. But not everyone might want to install the mods.

Sued for what?

The only thing we share with minecraft is a blocky terrain, which minecraft copied from infiniminer, and crafting that was also taken from other games. Everything else is very different.

Should the Infiniminer developers sue Notch for making Minecraft?

This game is just stunning its visuals. First few minutes that i played this game i was utterly impressed. This game may have a tiny things that are similar to minecraft ,but has excesscive things that minecraft doesnt have.
