Art: Ladder/Climbable surface concept

[image] [image] Hello forum! Some ladder concepts for you to enjoy. Ladder designs with intrusions into the block will likely not be used. There were some concerns with some of the ladders looking like fences and totems.

Some dev art was released exploring the concept of climbable surfaces waaaay back in alpha, but I think it’s been on the very crowded back burners for a long time since we have grapple hooks and stairs and portals for navigating vertical heights.

I believe that right now the philosophy that is used to determine what to invest development time into next is along the lines of “what will have the best impact on the most players” is developed first. While I have no idea what is and is not currently in development, I am willing to bet that ladders will remain on the back burner for a little while longer.

Edit: there was also at some point the idea that maybe you chisel a block to make it climbable by cutting foot and hand holds into the surface… I like that it could be paired with an undo chisel to make walls temporarily climbable during construction and then undone afterwards.

Ladders are dangerous and will result in many deaths… let’s do it!

I would love that!
Climbable foliage!
Climbable trees!
Climbable … glass? Whatever I’ll take it!

That would impact me in the most best way!

Or how about antigravity lifts? These could work exactly the same as columns of water, but be another color like purple, and not leak out the sides, and not cause drowning. Go in a lift and swim up and down

Who needs ladders when we got Elevators @VirtualEclipse

[Alchemist]

I would like ladders. Not every build works for for stairs or portals (plus the costs to keep those open just to go upstairs),or other lift types.

Good thing we do not live in the middle ages anymore Cookie-chan :3
