The stone,sand and gravel looks really cool don’t really know about the inside of the logs seems a bit odd

omg, @ben thats amazing! Can I give you some money via Paypal to but your artist Cookies?!
Btw. who is it?

Predatoxic · March 30, 2015, 9:27am

gleam is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life :o and I also love the dirt and stone textures

Predatoxic · March 30, 2015, 9:30am

and could you please show the new tree foliage And cobblestone ?

ben · March 30, 2015, 10:09am

Foliage is still having some finishing tweaks. Cobblestone (Broken Stone) has been added.

Predatoxic · March 30, 2015, 10:13am

thank you it looks really awesome (especially merged with normal stone)

Zouls · March 30, 2015, 10:14am

The lantern is awesome. but i have to agree, the inside of the wood looks rather weird.

ben · March 30, 2015, 10:16am

That’s because it’s weird wood. It’s not a solid trunk, it’s thick vines twisted together. It’s the first wood type, we’ll be adding more (but not for this release).

Predatoxic · March 30, 2015, 10:27am

I love the twisted wood because it’s unique and really looks like something that would grow on alien worlds

Crazyaga · March 30, 2015, 10:45am

Those textures are fantastic ~
About the gleam though, is that the texture without the glow effect?

Zouls · March 30, 2015, 10:47am

im pretty sure its glowing, but i think they reduced so its a soft glow rather than the flashlight look it has now.

ben · March 30, 2015, 11:06am

The glow amount is the same, the texture is less intense with colour. It probably looks less bright because most players place about 9000 of them in one place, not just one, as illustrated there

Zouls · March 30, 2015, 11:07am

so the light coming is the same but the actual block is less bright?

ben · March 30, 2015, 11:08am

Not less bright, but less saturated (colour intense). It shines and changes as you walk around it, more obvious in motion.

Zouls · March 30, 2015, 11:09am

ahhh. okay. i hope you guys will look into making more gleam colors as you wrote on twitter a looong time ago xD

but i look forward to getting in and taking pictures.

Predatoxic · March 30, 2015, 11:15am

@Zouls

Zouls · March 30, 2015, 11:16am

Its also up in the upper left.

i just thought it was lava which made the shine.

Squidgy · March 30, 2015, 11:19am

Thanks for sharing more! I’m so excited!

ben · March 30, 2015, 12:09pm

We will be including more Gleam colours in the next release, possibly up to 16
