FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

This game focusses obsessively on emergent gameplay which I find the power of the sandbox game called minetest. Having certain materials allows for more crafts and more complex designs and functions within the map. To clearly show emergents the textures should visually represent the complexity of the crafts and the crafts should visually represent the crafted item or node.

Would you like to contribute?
please follow these simple rules and share the ones you think of.
Textures

• Items which are mined from the environment are 1 color, 1 pixel.
• Processing materials in furnace adds one pixel in width and height
• The texture resolution of the craft is determined by the sum of pixels of the craft
  if
• the width or height has more pixels the resolution of the crafted node/item will be the width and height of the largest of the two.
  or
• When the craft is just one item it adds 1x1 pixel to craft result(comparable to furnace)
  Exceptions
• All natural occuring plantlike nodes are 5x5px (grass, flowers, plants, apples)
• All default tools are 3x3 pixels

Crafts have no rules yet
There are no rules yet for crafts although I was thinking about a 3x3x3 craft grid. A 3d craft grid. This way the craft can be made in a manner that looks more like the nodebox that is crafted. For example a pressure plate would be the bottom nodes and a standing half slab would be one wall of the cube.

Other plans
Replacing many items with nodeboxes. Steel ingot will be made into a 1/9 nodebox of the steel block

So this focuses on the origin of objects and turns craftitems into nodes?

YES.

One of the best texture packs i have seen, especially the trees. I love the idea of texture resolution growing with node complexity.

It makes me happy to read that both paramat and Evergreen like the texture idea. I guess i'm not the only one that likes Obsessive Consistent Design.

It also is for people with slow computers considering that it makes the textures as minimal as possible. :P

This is nice. Trying it out :)

EDIT How do I craft pickaxes?

That means something, coming from youhttps://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=5355

the craft guide that is in the inventory will help you find the answer.

Very interesting approach.
It's a bit like starting the game in early alpha and then because of your interaction with the environment the game develops.
Amazing how less can be more sometimes.
Of course I mean the textures with a lower resolution, 'cause this game has a lot to offer.

Unfortunately I get an error everytime I try to play the game with damage enabled:

I only tested the game with stable 0.4.7, without additional mods.

Ty, fot this error, i will use vector.distance instead for the hunger mod.

Btw, there is a new type of mob in this game now. Walk threw the forrest at night time.

this is work in minetest 0.4.6

Hi Bas080, that was indeed me on your public server 2 days ago, thanks for the apples and items, the textures are very refreshing and visually soothing, a beautiful world :)

The game is great, only, I am not encountering any mobs. Except for bees, strange small black things and one worm.
There should be hostile mobs, if I am not mistaken. Are they just very rare, or could there be anything wrong with my game?
There are no other animals either.

Are you still working on OCD Bas? This is by far my favourite subgame, I don't want it to be forgotten.

OCD works with the most recent version of minetest, but it doesn't work well with v7 mapgen. Do you have any ideas what should be done to make it work with v7?
