    That is a sweet comic.

    I love it how is big upgrade from night one to night two is a glass window.

    I don't think I had a fortress for at least a month in game. I lived out of a hobbit hut, thank you!


    ALSO, I love the mixture of the art with the 3d environment.

    you don't about the times when you couldn't make doors or windows

    the path to your front door would consist of floating, spaced out stones that you'd have to platform off of until you were inside

    no day and night cycle, monsters would just spawn as they would

    So, does everyone essentially hide at night?

    I'd think that once you have a sword and armor, it's time to bring the pain to some monsters*

    You'll spend the first few fights getting your ass reamed, until you start using the terrain to your advantage
    (at least until you get a bow and make lots of arrows- you can go nuts with ranged assaults).

    For anyone's trial by fire, I recommend clearing out a huge cavern complex. It turns sissies into manly men; a barbaric rite of manhood. You'll walk away with a shit ton of iron if you're careful and fast.

    Solo, because multiplayer does not include all of single player's features, yet.

    but you're invincible

    Our group has a plan for when the monsters are programmed into multiplayer.

    DE?AD's gonna be the weapon caddy. His primary job will be to set up quick, temporary dirt walls and throw equipment to us when we break something.

    Corom (he's around on occasion) is our bucket wizard, casting buckets of magma and water as needed. He's also pretty handy with sand.

    I work as scout, taking point with a load of torches and my bow and arrows.

    Janson will probably just build cool shit at our base, and probably haul resources back.

    Moriveth is our official creeper bait.

    it's like first-person legos except you have to mine for proper building blocks/material to craft armor/weapons/tools with, and various monsters will spawn at night to wreck everything you've done.

    I mean I can kinda understand now meeting spider riders, because I went to SMP pretty soon after they were introduced

    But slimes?

    They've been around since before I bought the game!

    Slimes are a really strange case, I don't know if anyone knows what's up with them. Sometime in the past few months he made them nearly non-existent because they spawned too quickly or something.

    They're super rare now, if they can still be generated at all. I've only ever seen them in old maps.
