…and working on the new feature, as promised in the last post. Today I added a new tool that goes with it, was quite tricky to model. Eventually, after a few abortive attempts I settled on the simplest version. Here’s how it looks like at the moment:
Yes, it’s a rake. Looking at it now I think I should make the horizontal bar a little narrower. The rake comes in 4 flavors, as all other tools do. I am sure you can now easily guess what the new feature is. Of course there’s a lot more to do before it’s finished.
I am a little worried about 1.22, because I have a lot of things started but not finished, like the boat for example. When I’m done with this stuff I will have my hands full wrapping them up.
While I was away, a portal called Quality Index picked Survivalcraft into the Top 10 Android Games: http://android.qualityindex.com/news/19254/qis-top-10-android-games-and-apps-of-may-2013
Although it’s only 9th place, it’s still good because 9 is my favorite number :-)

And nine is how old I am!! WELCOME BACK KAALUS! Did you have a fun vacation?
Whoa da whoa whoa I thought that u were older.
No.
Nice kaalus your game is going to be better than minecraft pc version because this is already better than mcpe keep it up and you’ll for sure surpass mojang btw thanks for all your hard work
Did you enjoy the holiday? Hope you had a lovely time:-)
<3
kaalus you are awesome and I have every faith you will delivar an awesome update!
Can you make it that preaditors hunt cows and sharks and pharana fight that would be cool
On another note I have just updated minecraft…. My sides… The buckets wouldn’t work with water and the fire graphic was black!? Lmao. Survivalcraft has well over lapped them. Thanks Kaalus Survivalcraft is going down in my personal gaming history favourites.
Yep, I was very surprised, disapointed and amused by the Minecraft update. The game is now sooooo far behind SurvivalCraft it is unbeleivable. No new mobs, and faulty extras? Cake?! Whoopee.
Also you can’t use the furnce in survivl mode.
Cool I hope u enjoyed ur holiday u deserved it aha
Please add multiplayer!!!!!
I don’t want to act mean or demanding but really I think Survivalcraft would be so much better with multyplayer. It would then be way better than minecraft. I would only play Survivalcraft but when I want to play with someone else I play minecraft pocket edition. Thanks for making a great game and I hope you at least try to make multiplayer. Thanks again.

Congrats on #9!!
Farming?!? I hope so. If so Just dont make it like mine craft has there’s setup. I hate MC’s. You have to be right next to water for stuff to grow. Oh wait, I forgot we have buckets so we can dig trenches and fill them in. I hope you enjoyed your well deserved holiday. You deserve many more.
hey any kids posting here (or anywhere) – just friendly suggestion, don’t use your full names. Think of a fun nickname maybe ;)
Agreed… I’ve been on the Internet since it had a connection noise lol… And if time and experience have taught me anything its; anonymity is your friend.
Farming!!!! Yes:D If it isn’t farming I will scream. But a rake could mean one of only two things. One, farming, or two leaves… probably farming;)
Hi
Hi
Glad there’s farming cause my family uninstalled it, because you had to kill animals and eat them. -_-
Y isn’t there a cancel comment button?
Btw, I just changed my comment name.
No, there isn’t.
You didn’t lost so much, but hey:
A New bugged update of Minecraf Pocket arrive omg omg, and the multiplayer don’t work! omg omg!!
That’s the best update ever….
Obviously irony, so no problem if you take 1 month or two on this.
I am so excited cause I’m gonna rake leaves hurray…wait a minute that is a horrible rake. maybe it is a farming utensil known as a hoe there by we will farm some flowers. Yaay. Truth be told I’m just playin’ stupid though. It is an exciting thing and I am chock full of excitement for this update
ps. It seems exciting.
Farming means bread me thinks welcome back young man. Hope you had a nice break…
EVERYONE WE SHALL BE FARMER BROWN’S “LET US FARMER BROWN THIS FIELD” Quote by Jerome asf
That’s great.
I have a bug you need to Fix.
A structure, tree, or in my case, my house’s floorboards catch on fire(my fault).
when I put out the fire and then lay new wood blocks, in seconds it randomly catches on fire. I clear the blocks. You can still hear constant burning. Really annoying
Thanks¿
I guess ninth of any month is important to 8.3% of the worlds population.
I made a 1567 block troll face, as well as a ton of other pixel art. Also this rake must mean farming
Kaalus. I love your ideas and worth ethic. I respect you so much for your mastermind and hardwork in developement. You have no idea how much i needed a real developer to work on a favorite genre of mines.
farming sounds very exciting!
and congratulations on #9
FARMING I was hoping a litte for multiplayer but FARMING
Yay i knew it was farming!!!!!
i changed me namelolalola lol sorry ppl sorry
I noticed.
Farming? Farming? FINALLY!!!!!!!
Yay! Welcome back kaalus! Hope u had a great holiday!
YAY!!! Welcome back Kaalus!!Hope you had a great holiday!!
And Yay farming….
Amina, Rhinos, Killer whales, hunger, tiredness, and boats and now this… I love it!
can’t wait for the next update it should be full of some really good stuff, I don’t know if anyone else has suggested this yet but, i think it would be cool if you added books that you could write things down in. Like you could write a book about the story of your world that you built and such like it’s history so that when other people play your map they can read the books and use them for quests and stuff like that, just a thought.
Omg I loooove survival craft sooo much I tell all my friends post my pics on twitter Facebook everywhere love the game best app by far
Congratulations. You deserve it.
Welcome back sir…I’m new to the SC world and I’m hooked…your efforts are fast, flawless, and in line with this game…you are blowing the competition out of the water…
I’m sure you keep up with it but FYI MCPE just released their update and it has bombed completely…it sucks for them but their forums are FULL of survival craft comments and your name is all over the MC forums…get ready for a huge influx of new players
Keep up the great work you have us all behind you as faithful supporters!
I can’t update mcpe! I think…
KAALUS!! READ ONE OF MY LONG COMMENTS ON PELAGIC CREATURES.

Can u just shut up
nerdy girl u r so mean
Omg I knew it was farming!
What a coincadinc(my word 4 coincidence)! I go on vacation in 1 day less than 2 weeks! It’s at Kalahari! BTW,I’m lovin the orca! That would b the ultimate trap 4 my series I’m goin to make! And,people,it’s called survival games. Each new games,the missions and traps will get harder and harder. Did u enjoy your vacation,kaalus? Hope it waz great! :-)
Kaalus, why u no email me back?!?
Hi
when will the update come out though?
If you do add multiplayer please don’t make it like mc’s pe. Because none of my family have it so I can’t play on multiplayer because u have to be close to someone. And welcome back. Excited for farming. Already have a place for my crops :)
Hope you had fun on your vacation.Thanks for adding farming, my dad and I own a farm.
Gross 9 is my least favorite number. You, kaalus, have earned yourself a nemesis.
Oh welcome back too :)
Who is his nemesis?

Can you add tamable animals and grassland biome and multiplayer please
Add seasons for farming, only certain foods can grow at certain times.
Welcome back kaalus! Did you brake something ;? or no ;) Where were You? Was it fun?
Hope u had a nice holiday
Good job Kaalus! Did u have nice holiday? Can u add dog, Black, White and Husky?
i agree with dangercrafter. She’s right i dont no about any 1 else agree does anybody want pets?
I do.
Duh I do
And also can you make all the biomes Alot bigger and add a flat grasslands biome
Make the biomes bigger? I thought they were pretty much “infinite”? I have travelled for ages in various directions and never found anything resembling the end of the world. Reached the bottom and possibly the top, but never an edge.
So dose Biome mean the whole map then ? Sorry I’m not to good on the proper terms for things. What I want is like deserts to be a lot bigger and snowy drift places to be a lot because It is kind of a bit patchy .do you get what I’m saying?
Kaalus, Please add Mod Loading UI.
Good idea! I second this.
Not just a All texture changing modding. But Ingame new block
Just one question, what crops will we be able to grow.I hope you make wheat, that’s the crop my dad and I grow.
Kaalus, you never cease to amaze with your hard work on SurvivalCraft. You seem so dedicated to it! I am really looking forward to the possibility of farming – already got several animals penned in on one of my maps, so the opportunity to grow crops as well will be great. I really hope that you are getting a good monetary return on this game (ie. making lots of cash) as I think that you deserve it immensely. So much better (and different) than Minecraft!
Kaalus, Farming is great – It is not the basis for survival in nature (specially for hunter type of men), but if the majority wants it… then ok. :) Try to focus on some new features and others leave for 1.23 because most of as can wait new version. Keep up good work!!!
WE NEED ISLANDS, Lots and lots of islands.
What’s the point in boats and a big blue infinite sea if we don’t have islands?
Show your support on the official SC forum with this link and leave a comment there so your voice is heard and counted..
http://survivalcraft.lefora.com/2013/06/02/infinite-islands/0/
I agree islands are a big please add!
Islands would be cool. Sorry I’m always requesting stuff but sc has a lot of potential for more cool things
What plants will have in SurvivalCraft 1.23
Please fix the game it takes 10 minutes to load on galaxy s devices i really want it to work for me!!!
What device exactly do you have and which version of Android is it running?
Kaalus,u know the lode stone I brought up? I thought if u did add it,if u walk on top of it with compass,it will go crazy 4 a little while.
He said no.
I have a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (SGH-i727) there is a dark screen for about a minute. When I hit home and then go back to the game I come back to an all white screen and I can hear myself walking and the birds in the background. Game wont atart till i close the app completely. I dont reqlly care but i can see how someone would find it annoying because the time adds up. Hope this helps. I am running Jellybean 4.1
I have the samsung galaxy s3 mini running jellybean 4.1.2.Thank you for your reply i love this game!!
I found a glitch. On the world football stadium,sparks were coming out of a wall,like when u burn a tree,and burning blocks disappear. I put a coal block on that “burning” block. The coal block disappeared! There not supposed 2 do that! The odd thing is,it wasn’t burning! When I took of all of the coal blocks,the sparks r still there. Do u think u could fix this? It might lead up 2a bigger problem…
Hey! Could somebody please download the world “Department of Technology”? I made it and it’s really awesome! (No lie!!!)
WB :)
Hello kaalus. I just want to give you a very good explanation of why multiplayer should be your next best priority. Multiplayer gives your game much more significance to the community, by allowing them to create more magnificent creations with additional manpower, which in turn would hopefully reach interested players. Second, multiplayer adds to the replay value of the game. Adding human allies/enemies creates more possibilities for every moment, resulting in additional variation. Lastly, from a design point of view, it would be much more easy* for you to work on survivalcraft if you released multiplayer first (making past features multiplayer-compatible), rather than adding in all the features, then making a huge multiplayer update.
*Not really sure with this one.
I would like your opinion on when you plan on adding multiplayer, kaalus.
Today in a snow biome I saw a very well textured white bull! Is this glitches??????? Please help me!!!!!
It is herobull…
no its a albino bull I’ve seen 1 and I’ve been playing for a year now there worth 8 bacon
Thanks guys!

The bug where the fences don’t connect again, can you make it so fences can connect to buildings?
In the next update will you be adding structures like temples and new biomes, like a swamp, and bigger deserts?
Kaalus, on my kindle fire hd, i tried to build a huge tower and i was almost finnished when half of it turned invisable. You should fix that. It has happened more than once and is so annoying. Thank you.
If i’m correct katie you have reached the ceiling of the game i forget the actual block height from bedrock to the top of the sky but yes its limited. and my largest tower from bedrock to ceiling also went invisible and weird as i tried to lay more blocks ontop.
Mine went invisible too.
Did you make it out of wood?
No, I made it out of iron blocks.
Will the update be out by June 21st? Going somewhere and I want the latest version of Survivalcraft when I go.
Very cool man!!
Welcome back Kaalus!!!!!
Yea! :D i love this game. When 1.22?
Yea! I love this game. When 1.22….?

ok kaalus probably won’t tell us his best holiday destination …..any ideas guys
1.Your favourite holiday destination.
2. your favourite homeland destination ( so where you live )
3. somewhere you have always wanted to go, maybe like somewhere in the indian ocean where there are some lovely islands (that may be a new area on survivalcraft)

3. Japan what a great destination.
Kallus Can you please add engines for boats. can you also add more weapons :D:D:D^_^^_^^_^
Korea
U should add pistons into the game so we can make cooler stuff like……….hidden bases and other cool stuff like that!!!!!!
Armor would be awesome so please add armor. My b-day is August 17.
Hello Kallus I like the farming idea.
Kallus if I was to rate this game I would give this game an infinite and beyond. I love this game so much.
Thank you for all the hard work. And I have a question why can’t I see me!!!1’s comments!
How was your vacation.
Anyone who wants corn say I.
I
Can you add gold. I know you are busy with other things but gold would be cool!: )
Hi I’m getting braces for the second time!!!!!! I’m getting them next Thursday.
It’s because you’re nerdy.
And because you eat too many nerds. (the candy type)
Hahaha I wish
Welcome back kallus and hop u had a good holiday and good idea about the rake
When do u guys think the update will come out
Please add multiplayer. A lot of people have asked for it and I think it would be cool.
Finally a boat! I hate swimming, the pirhanas made the experience even more difficult. Lol
Can we have more building material to work with?
Please add multiplayer. A lot of people have asked for it and I think it would be cool.
What’s up broski (me!!!2)

Please add multiplayer it would be amazing if you did!
Does anyone know any good world seeds.
Yes. Here are some. Minerals, wood, diamond, iron, cattle, coal, deserts, biomes, mountains, and that’s it. I bet you could find some more online. Or just download the Survivalcraft cheat app. There are all ready some on iOS.
Don’t 4 get budder.
Oh, and Kallus what type of plants are there. Here are suggestions; corn, wheat, watermelons, peppers,and maby even some grapes?
Maby add Hanna tree
Welcome back kaalus! That’s great news about the rake! What exactly is the rake used for? Are you making it to where trees drop their leafs? Either way, greatest of luck to you!

Hey kaalus I wanted to say that survivalcraft is an awesome game you’ve done so well I’d bet with just some more work you’ll surpass minecraft and mojang I love your work on survivalcraft I’m always interested and intrigued by playing survivalcraft now if I was a game judge id give survivalcraft infinite stars if I could see ya and work hard on survivalcraft so everyone one would be interested in survivalcraft. Bye kaalus. I LOVE SURVIVALCRAFT.
will be added to the game interior?
kaalus,мы с сестрой очень ждём следущей версии! Нам бы очень хотелось чтобы вы сделали multyplayer на Bluetooth.Так как Wi-Fi иногда нет(( И ещё(если возможно) сделайте технику(машину,лодку,велосипед,железную дорогу и так далее),домашних животных(кошек,собак,овечек,свиней,коз.) фрукты (клубнику, арбуз,кокос,ананас, малину,ежевику,смородину и так далее),овощи(картошку,морковку,помидоры,кабачки,огурцы и так далее).И что бы можно было что нибудь с картошкой делать,например жарить,рыбу варить.Но я наверное очень далеко зашла…Но в целом игра очень хорошая,я бы всю жизнь в неё играла,если бы не школа и грядки с помидорами)) хотелось бы, чтобы лодкой можно было управлять, как лошадью, так проще.И что бы машина могла заезжать на ступеньки.Спасибо за внимание.
Can u have breading animals, chickens, pens, and make the chickens give u eggs every day. If these updates come to 1.21 I will reffer this game to my friends
Excuse me but i have seen inappropriate content such as slang words in survivalcraft. Kaalus please respond
Hey ummm will you ever add portals, mobs,and can we download mods from the community and by the way can you make the mining faster
I love you kallus!
9 is my favorite number, too!
