Alpha 1.8 submitted

Went in yesterday just before midnight. There are reports of delays in the queue, Microsoft has this to say: http://create.msdn.com/en-US/news/cert-and-ingestion-delays, so I am not sure when it might hit the marketplace. Hopefully sometime this week.

This is also the first version to hit the new WP7 markets: Indonesia, Malaysia, Argentina, and Philipines.

This is the changelist:

  • Added creative mode
  • Added narrow/wide view angle to settings
  • Added bucket, water bucket and magma bucket
  • Added directional water spreading
  • Added magma & magma spawning underground
  • Certain blocks will not drop items when wrong tools are used
  • Birds will fly away instantly after getting hit
  • Changed lighting to make the terrain brighter
  • Added world renaming
  • Added changing of game mode
  • Terrain generation tweaks
  • Fixed a bug with blocked cave entrances
