I started with programming of Creawo nearly a year ago. I was fascinated by
Minecraft (I love this Game) and thought about an own 2D Version which isn't a 1:1 Copy.
The whole Story is a little bit longer. I can tell it you later. ;)
At this time i didn't know about Terraria.
(Only a few Months later i found out that Terraria existed.)
Creawo is programmed in Game Maker with the Programming Language GML.
This game does support Chunks and allow nearly Infinite Worlds. Only the memory-limitations
of PCs doesn't allow real "infinite" Worlds. (At some Point, the Computer can't handle such a huge amount of Data.)
The World is only on the x-Axis infinite. The height of the World is 128 Blocks.
The Game has 3 Layers in which you can place the Blocks. The normal layer,
the Background and the Foreground. For better explaining just look
at the Videos on my Youtube-Channel.
The Games Graphics are very simple and looks more like a Cartoonish-Grid.
The Textures of 1 block have a Resolution of 16*16 Pixels.
The Game has the ability of changing the Texturepack. So Gamers will be allowed to
create their own Textures for the Game.
I have some Concepts wrote down on Paper. I just started to implement some
Core-Gameplayfeatures. That's because i worked the whole Time mainly on
the Game-engine itselfs. (an i am still doing it...)
So actually, this game can look like a Copy/Clone of Minecraft (or Terraria).
I hope you give this Game a Chance. ;)
So yeah... i created this Site on Indiedb for the Game Creawo nearly 2 Months ago.
After the first news, i hadn't so much time to work on "huge" Updates.
But now, i can show you a little progress which i made over the past Month.
Summary of Updates:
Things which i didn't mention in this Video:
Hope you liked this Video.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! This time i have something Special for you. An Engine Explenation (+little Update) all combined with my annoying Voice in one Video.

Please finish Celerity finally and work on Creawo! PLEASE
Wirklich sehr gut bisher :D besonders mit dem Game Maker ^_^

It is VERY nice, i like the concept of the effects!
Tracking!
Regardless of which certian games it looks like, good job. Cant wait to see what certian spark you find to set it apart from the other sandbox builder/rpg games with a similar look, goodluck!
terairia pretty much
Add online and it'll be cool :D
so, this is... Minecraft-clone?
No if you read the top of the page you will see that he didn't want to make a 1:1 clone. Meaning he didn't want it to be completely like Minecraft but 2D. His inspiration came from Minecraft but again he didn't want it to be like Minecraft :P
