I'm going to develop this game differently from things I've done in the past. The game will be continuously updated as we go, with updates happening after I do my dev streams on twitch. 

FOLLOW THE DEVSTREAM HERE!!!

Already have a ton of ideas for this game - I want to be able to find / create all elements and common compounds for a start. They'll be spread across different planets, so we'll have to make rocket fuel to get from one planet to another.

I'll be working on those ideas over the next week, while also separating the simulation from the tilemap and coding it in a way to support multiplayer. Hopefully we'll get the beginnings of some testable multiplayer in the next week or two.

You can post questions / ideas here, and also join the DISCORD: http://discord.gg/triplejump

Update March 25, 2025

  • Now you can consume the contents of any slot by pressing 'E'
    • Some materials will damage or kill you, and others will heal you - the player has a reaction message above them that says how they feel about the thing they consumed
  • Added Health to the Player, and the ability to Die and Respawn
    • Also there are cause-of-death messages
Developer

Update March 26, 2025

  • made some improvements to the core controls
    • when you hold the button to pick things up, it can pick up into multiple slots as long as you have slots open
    • when you hold the button to place pixels, it keeps swapping to slots that contain the same thing so you can place a lot of pixels at once

  • If you are not within Breathable Air when you take the helmet off, your head explodes
