Testing the game is now harder..

Posted on by pixbits

Hi guys, we’re posting a quick but we hope appreciated update!

These creatures hurt quite a bit.. 😀 (final design may change a bit, but you should get the idea)
Back to work now, there is still a lot of work to be done, as always.

  16. can you add a destructive mob on the surface? that is like a creeper. or just something that blows up and destroys your house if you get to close.

  21. i think a creeper like mob adds a adrenaline felling to the game.
    i would like to have a mob like this added to the game if possible.

  23. Because in Minecraft those green guys made me mad. They away blow up your house. When you put a lot of work into making your house, and then have some little green bastard blow it up, it gets annoying. When I make a house, I want it to stay the way I made it, unless I want to change something. I like enemy’s though.

  25. Not only that but it will also be extremely difficult to avoid them because of the 2d format. In Minecraft you have the ability to avoid creepers because of the 3d space but Junk Jack is a 2d engine. The odds of being blown up or you house being blown up will increase drastically.

  31. I have a really good question. Now that there is enemy’s, and you can die, what happens to all your stuff when you die? Does nothing happen and you still have it all, or is it like Minecraft where it stays in the place you die for 5 minutes, and then disappears, or did you guys think of something else?

  34. Oh yeah I just looked back and found it. I know you said you don’t know about multiplayer yet. But if you did it it would be awesome, you could have a gamecenter multiplayer and bluetooth, where you can go in your friends worlds and explore with that. that would be awesome.

  40. Wow since you guys are onto of tees questions I think I’ll throw one out there. Will there be any water? It think that would work great actually.

  44. There will not be water in the release day, Jack wants to implement it but in a cool and well done way. So if all goes well it will be probabily added in later content updates.

  46. Hey guys. I was wondering. When you are just HOLDING a torch, can it still provide light, or do you have to place it on a block in order for it to clear darkness. I always wish that you could just walk through darkness without having to place a lantern everywhere you go. Thanks guys.

  49. But this would some what elimanate the need for multiple torches. I don’t know. The game would be greta either way.

    Like

  50. It could maybe. However, there could always be a rule put on the torches. For example, when a torch is at hand and not placed the torch would only emit a small amount of light compared to placed torches.

    Like

  51. But you would have to place a torch down to mine so I think the inhand torch should give off as much as the wall torch.

    Like

  54. Exactly, so if there is enough light already from the placed torch to mine than their is not much of a purpose for the in-hand torch to produce so much light. It should just give enough extra light to give a small preview of what material is next without showing everything. Plus I’m pretty sure the torch is not going to be in-hand for very long anyways because of enemy mobs. 🙂

  62. OK. Remember what type of game this is here. It is not an underground platformer focused on enemies. All that is needed are a couple basic enemies (like minecraft only has about 5) and were good. We dont need some extension enemy tree so that it is hell to navigate the map. I think PixBits would agree with me at this point. 🙂

    Like

  63. I agree 😀
    And even if we think there should be some more mobs ,more mobs could always be put in as updates after release

  67. When Junk Jack is put on the Apple Appstore you should make it free for a day or make a PROMO code for all of us to get the game for free.

  68. Man shut your mouth. Just because we are following the blog doesn’t mean we are royalty. We will pay for the game like everyone else. Besides, Pixbits deserves to make money and I GUARANTEE they will make quite a bit of profit off this game. ITs brilliant!

  73. i just noticed something, on the cave pictures parts of the ground is purple and there is mushrooms growing out of it. what is that?

  77. i just noticed this (i know its a little late). the screen shots that pixbits take look like they are taken on a large screen. is that the view we will see on an ipod touch. because if it is wouldn’t each block be tiny.
    my question was just are you showing us what our screen will look like or is this screen size just easier for testing?

  82. Oh and who else thinks there should be a huge dragon in this !
    And you talk to the dragon and it gives you some quests and you can choose either to kill it or trust it !!!
    By the way don’t take this seriously; I just wanted to put out any idea 🙂

    Like

  84. Just a suggestion 😀
    Ok then how about after you’ve finished one of the harder quests a huge meteor comes down and there is a really special item I’m there like a light saber or a tv/ computer/gaming console that you can put in your house as decoration ?
    This is also just a suggestion , feel free to ignore it completely 😀

  85. I think you should an extremely precious gem to the game. Like there is only 10 of them in the entire world. And i would highly recommend adding a second demention. And in that demention you can put the extremely precious gem in that second demention. And to get there you would have to build a portal out of special items.
    These are just suggestions.

  91. Hey guywithaha, I like your idea but how about just really rare blocks fall from the sky instead of a big meteor. Like space rocks? And you could use them to make really strong pickaxes and stuff. That would be cool!

  93. Ya, I like the idea of special random events that give really good items too. But it doesn’t have to be in the first version, just take your time and do what you want to when you want to! Looks great!!!

  95. This is what I was dreaming about an now I can’t stop thinking about it. If you release is within a week I will pay $10 for it

  98. NO! I do not like the ideas of random rocks falling and stuff. It would add too much inconsistency to the game to the point where there is no more need for knowledge of where the actual good blocks are located. You know, like you cant just say “Oh im gonna look for some meteors” but you can say “Ok today I gotta go deep underground to get some iron!”

  101. I think they should make a meteor that is under ground broke in peaces then when u fing them u can make a teleportal that takes u to the moon!!

    Like

  103. That is a good idea but i think it should teleport you to a scary, hell like place. so it adds an extra adrenaline in exploring. And i think you should find the portal pieces a stronghold, or temple.
