Hi, i have a question when you showed us buildings for the first time in the i saw apples, does that possibly mean that we can obtain apples? (by the way the game is looking great)

This video is a wonderful surprise ! I’m very pleased with the progress of the game ! I wish you a great success, you did a good job. When did you start developing the game ?
I’m preparing a music track especially for Junk Jack, something pretty sedate that will not be boring by the second listen. I hope you will enjoy it, it’s a free gift for Pixbits. 🙂

The quests look a little bit to easy. The idea you are looking for should take a lot longer to come across. Instead of under a minute, it should be more like 15 minutes.

Quests have 5 different difficulty levels, easier ones will be quite short to solve (with common rewards) while harder quests will need more time and surely more exploration in the underground, providing better rewards 😉

Yes, apples are already implemented although non present in the video, they can be used as consumables to heal Jack!

Wow, looks amazing so far! It looks like gameplay will be fairly simple for more relaxed players, but it also looks like players that want to be more into it can be pretty substantial and complex tunnel systems! I noticed that you can guys in the videos can dig or mine any block on the screen, I was wondering if we would be able to do that too or if we would have to be right next to the block? Because of this game I SERIOUSLY can’t wait until October! Keep up the good work, I bet that by release day it’s going to be even better than it already is!

Nice video Pixbits!! Sound effects are sounding pretty good. The quest look like they will be fun especially once you add the different difficulties for the quests and the building part looks simple to use as well. May I ask what the gold coins are going to be used for? Are they used to purchase things? Anyways, good work guys!

It is a crate which could hold several items to collect. You can see it on this video when Jack destroys one of the crates about 1:03 in the video.

The gold is probably to buy stuff from the junk vendor. (check a few pages back)

How many different layers are there? What I mean is at 0:40 you put a brick looking block on the same layer as jack but then you put one behind him? Please explain.
LikeLike
There are three layers: the back that cannot be digged, the middle layer that can be digged with no collision, and the front layer that collides with the player.

This looks amazing guys. I’ve been checking this blog just about every day for a month now. Insta-buy for me. One question though: will you have hostile mobs for us to fight ? I notice that Jack has a health bar. Is that just for fall damage or will enemies be showing up soon?

Ya I think Anonymous asked the big question here. Will there be enemies? Because that would be REALLY COOL!

I dont understand.. Why do ladders and what looks like wood platforms come out of the dirt when you dig it?!?! very odd.

We’re just trying to balance the loot tables of blocks to make gameplay funny and playable. That was supposed to be a random help but we already decreased the drop rate, don’t mind these issues, they are just balancing issues 😀

i thought of something you (thepixbits) should put in the game.make it so the map loops so when you reach the end you go to the other side so you dont just run into an invisible wall or something.

Hi, this game is extremely awesome, I am definitely getting it. Definitely. But I have a question, I noticed the small game center icon (if thats what it was) if so, how exactly will junk jack use game center?
