1/4 and 3/4 blocks

TaskManager · 2016-04-26 20:40:01

what we have now:
1/2 (or 2/4) of a block aka half-block:

suggestions:
1/4 of a block:

3/4 of a block:

(too lazy (and bad) for actual graphics sorry)
would be good for stairs and some in-game art maybe

credits to 14wingedpizza for the idea because he specifically told me not to give credits

I think the game is already good with 1/2 a block. But good idea though.

What would they be used for? Stairs would be alright I suppose... but they wouldn't behave like stairs.

Half blocks serve as platforms that you can travel through in one direction.

I think we really need slanted blocks that behave like a slide, or escalator.

Now This is a good idea. +1

We need something to act like a slide and not just be moved by arrows.

nou (or someone else) mentioned that he has the idea of making ramps that allow you to move up without jumping but that concept would require big changes to physics engine
but yeah i like that idea as well

Ramps really need to be added..

no ramps shouldnt be added, it defeats the purpose of a "square" theme for ee.

The whole "it doesn't fit EE" argument is trash. This game is a sandbox.

You could already make a 3/4 block anyway. Just get the one way blocks and put on facing down and another one facing to the left looking at the block.

Nou said in a livestream that they're going to look into ramps after they finish Unity. Basically Unity is their #1 priority right now.

it's action + decorations.

Yeah, and ramps would be an action block.

I was thinking about that but it looks ugly. Adding a 3/4 block would be wayyyy easier.

I never said it doesn't fit EE did I? I said that it defeats the purpose of a squarish theme. Despite the fact that action and decor blocks aren't square. Also, this whole game isn't just sandbox, there's bots and other fun mini games that doesn't require editing a world.

We should add them

No. If you were to put a ramp in a world and look at the map, what part of a block will the ramp fill?
Why did we bring ramps into this topic anyway? Add it as a new topic, this was only for responses towards MAXI123's suggestion.

do you mean something like this?

thats the only way i can think of for making 3/4 blocks
and come on, it looks ugly in game and takes 2 blocks space instead of 1

Have you seen half blocks on the map?... How do you even want to split one pixel into two smaller triangles?
