Hi will there be this game for ipad?
Sent from my iPad
Its out its out its out :-O
Is it going out for windows phone as well ???
Of course. As soon as Google Play “betatest” tells me everything is fine. There’s no certification on Google Play, so I can quickly amend any issues, whereas when I submit to Microsoft it’s stuck for a week without possibility of making any changes.
cheers kaalus :-)
Kaalus, I’m waiting for WP version! It’s so long….:D
Where is it?I can’t see it On Windows Phone ….
I found a lot of world’s with no blocks just infinity .how do you do that. Email me at gaberockhound @yahoo.com
Im waiting for it. Hurry up google
Hi Kaalus, will i need to start a new world so as to generate the new cave systems and forest area’s?
No. All the areas that you haven’t touched in your world (i.e. dug or placed anything there) will benefit from the new generators.
How long until this reaches amazon??
Update had just hit the market. Im off to start testing
2 bug reports 1.20:
-Coal block stops burning after few minutes (is it because of chunks?)
-Need to press the fly button twice to fly
Actually we can fly by pressing the button only once but not when moving
My blocks dont stop burning only when i change worlds and go back
Kaalus when will you release it for amazon? And ounce again what does the L.E.D. do?
Another thing with the weather changing is it only in creative or can you use it in adventure mode. Same question about the day and night changer. And if it is night all of the time can you change the moon phases?
Publish says it is not a zip file. I inserted dropbox link, but why does it not work?
Maybe the link is not to the world file itself but to the download page. Link must result in a .scworld file being sent by the server. If you’re using Dropbox to host, use “Copy Link” button in the game to get the link.
Also get error – cannot read that as a zipfile. Used copy link on dropbox… Not my fault it compresses before it uploads….
Not yet in marketplace, cant wait!… :-) maybe uprage you shut please make this for ipad and zombies
Kaalus , have seen few bugs
-Rain in green
-fotodiode work bad(at night it do nothing)
-when the birds fly up , under it is dark round
this bugs is on my Acer A500 Tegra2
please fix it
Photodiode detects light – no light at night so it does nothing.
Is the thing under the birds their shadow?
Not sure about the green rain – can you post a screenshot?
the rain is good now , after reboot device , all is ok ,maybe my tablet is too old
can i use USB mouse to play?
I forgot to tell you that the wolfs transform twice during the moon cycle on new moon and full moon. Wolfs aren’t supposed to transform on new moon, so is this a bug or this is intended?
Its intended
You need a not gate to make the photodiode work at night..
Its ok koll
What about making it xperia gamepad compatible. Just saying it’s an awesome game,.I actually like the enemy AI better than minecraft especially how the wolves hunt you in packs. Keep up the good work!
I have that phone as well, that would be pretty awesome
kaalus, in this new version and data can be saved in SD tarjeta?, because the data is stored in the internal memory of the cell phone and I have no space
Yes you can save to SD card, it will save to /mnt/sdcard/Survivalcraft. What is mounted under that location on your phone I don’t know.
kaalus, helpme I have the file on my SD but the data stored in the phone memory, here’s a screenshot http://i.imgur.com/KIyv4dF.png
I am using a system call to get the external storage directory. If on your phone this returns a directory in internal memory, maybe it’s designed to do so.
Hey Kaalus,
Not sure if everyone else is experiencing it, but I’m trying out the Photodiode, but can’t seem to make it work, tried different ways like difference places and setup, even set it up like the video when Kaalus did it on youtube, but the lights are always on. Doesn’t switch off when there is sunlight.
So is it just me?
Is your light shining on the photodiode making it produce signal which in turn makes the light shine?
Can’t wait till it gets to windows phone =D
I found a bug with the split touch controls. Ocassionaly when there is no blocks in front or in range and you hold the screen it will mine the blocks where you are touching not where the crosshairs are pointing. The community world sharing is epic but I wish we could still acess our dropbox files and upload to and download from it.
In summary split controls need some more work.
You can access Dropbox as previously, is something broken?
Split touch only works when you tap/hold in the Look Panel area, otherwise it works normally.
So i guess split touch controls are fine and i did not notice that you could select dropbox through the private section so no bugs from me :D
Is there going to be any new hostile mobs in 1.21 like another thing like a werewolf only something that can live in daylight because bears,wolves,coyotes, and boars are too weak and to easy to kill
I would like to second this request – Survivalcraft needs more “survival”. Especially more hostiles in those larger cave systems! How about Orcs or Cave Trolls?
Kaalus, please think of the explorers .. the crafters are probably better of with MCPE anyway! :-)
yah like a panther or couger that climbes the trees and jumps out to get you. Cougers can have a sort of hole in a tree.
I think that would be ausome.
I kind of got the concept of the cougars from minecraft and watching animal planet.
I would like to second that request. SC needs more hostiles.
Kaalus, please think of the explorers/survivalists next. Those new cave systems need some dangerous (!) mobs to fill them, maybe Orcs or Cave Trolls? :-D
How about neutral animals instead of more hostiles? Example: tortoise
Or maybe for a bonus some kind of wild cat; one that’s hostile (e.g. a lion which spawns in desert/plains biomes.), and a passive one (e.g. a linx/bobcat which spawns in mountains biome.)
Kaalus…… I love the new cave systems. This makes exploration more worth while.
Everything works fine on the HTC one X. Only thing I request is if you could make the L.E.D’s automatically attach to each other this way I can draw arrows out of LED’s showing which directions the player should go after opening a door or activating a switch.
kaluus i connect photodiode to the NOT gate and to the lamp, when its day, lamps are off, but when is night they start blinking :((
i make the same circuit as you in youtube. sr for my english
Because Your lamp lights on fotodiod
The light connected to it lights the photodiode so that it blinks
yes u right! :P
KAALUS!!!please add multiplayer:)
Add multiplayer, you must.
you should add an ability to befriend a werewolf and other animals
by maybe feeding it
Wow I’m very happy!
Where can I find diamond?????
Also kallus, try to add bandits. Then it will be a hundred times better then minecraft!!!!!!!!!
So what ?
Is it only 99x better the way it is now ?
Damn thats a good idea
Thank u:)
CAN U ADD JUNGLES TOO!!!!!!!!:D:D:D
TTYL
omg its out
omg its finaly hear.
Kaalus can you start working on a transportations system (boats, Trains)?
and can there be a generator for islands out in the ocean?
also can you try to add gold and natives?
Please can you coment on this
Kaalus can you tell me if you are working on these items or more?
I agree!
It says “error loading texture”. What could be the cause? It’s 1024×1024 png file on dropbox. Tried many times.
Hmmm. Didn’t work with SkyDrive either.
Sorry to be so bothersome. Tried a million times. Maybe someone can try publishing it for me to see if it works at all. Link is http://db.tt/ykBaskP9 and the name is HDCraftLitPixels
Your link is to the download page, not the texture. The game tries to load the html received from the server as a texture, small wonder it fails :-)
Use “Copy Link” button on the Dropbox screen or make your Dropbox link a direct link to the media file.
I also tried typing in the link for just the image afterwards. It was very long. Didn’t work either. Unfortunately I’m using a hacked nook color. Nook colors don’t let you copy and paste. I bought the app for android just to publish the texture. Oh well.
When will it come to Amazon for kindle
Great update dude, loving the new caves. If they can be made even more branching it would be perfect. One issue: I cant access the community content, just gives me an error. possibly could be due to my internet.
Yeah I lied, my internet is being stupid. Also just want to +1 the bandit idea from above
I cant find any files when i try to upload a texture pack from my sd card. The box is completly empty. Do i need to make a special folder or something?
Still not support xperia play gamepad :-\
Arghh. 1.20 its not here yet
Kaalus thank you for making such a great game and keep up the great work!
Kaalus, i find bug:
and why can’t I see hourse in the game?
Please change it back so we can fly without having to stop first… its so annoying
How to made the game has split touch or crosshair
Settings->Controls->Look Control Mode
Can the next update be based on jungles?
Thanks kaalus
Hey Kaalus after updating to 1.20 I noticed some texture bugs on my Galaxy S3, you can see them here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/sp6l009l27cy3q8/MW2VGy_s1Z
Sometimes the round shadows under animals will become a rectangular shadow that covers the entire block underneath. It doesnt happen very often so I didnt get a screenshot…
BTW, worlds bigger than 20mb tend to lag a lot when chunks are loading or placing blocks, do you think some optimizations are possible?
Ive got a 60meg world with no such lag on EVO 3D phone. I was hoping he would push the fog out farther so I can see farther but if others are getting lag maybe just as option.
Post it to the community, please?
Oh its not full of creations, its just big because I got lost for days because compass takes me back to last sleeping spot not game start. Flying around at nite for days trying to see torch or find sea coast expanded map size a lot. Also blew up a lot of deep holes and poured lava down some tall mountains. Explored probably 50 caves.
Kaalus you said yesterday 1.20 is coming on windows phone in few hours or sooner, but its not here!
Yes but remember it’s all about marketplace now not the game developers
He said it is published to Google Play and should appear there in a couple of hours.
The version for Windows Phone is not published yet because Kaalus is awaiting for bug reports from Android users then upload the game to other online stores. After that the WP version is tested by some folks at MS and published on the WP Store if everything is fine with it.
Kaalus,
You stated that you have a few devices from which you test the game, and I was wondering if you can suggest which smart phone platform/model the game played best on? Thank you in advance :)
Kaalus, how long will it take for u to add jungles?
Hey Kaalus can you add a way to taim a wolf so that you have ome thing to watch your back while mining.?
I would like to have a dog in the game it would be fun.
can the wolf be taimed be throwing it a piece of meat or tpping on it with a piece of meat. Raw meat????
I have a question. How do you paste the proper link to publish a .scworld file to the community on the new Community sharing page?
Thanks for the new release, Kaalus. Survivalcraft is really awesome!
Hey Kaalus what time zone are you in? you clock time doesn’t match the clock time on my postes?
its 11:23 here and the post says16:23
Australia, I believe ;)
Wonderful feature list as always! Thanks, kaalus. You rock.
Thanks for including that crosshair option! I’m gonna make good use of that
Hey…this version sounds awesome… I am ebarassed to say I don’t know how to download new version. Can u help me with steps? Thx Jordan
Who is the author of “Massive World”? It’s really wonderful!
Yes people should put a sign in their uploaded worlds giving their username and maybe email address.
I love this game. Thank you so much for making it. I found a bug/ error in 1.20.0. Every now and then if I am playing with the blocks and placing or removing a lot of blocks the screen will go black and become Unresponsive. I will have to reboot my phone. Kinda annoying but it has only happened 2 times. I have a Pantech break out and running 2.3.3 on Android.
Kaalus can you help me? I bough survival craft on amazon. How do I update it?
