Replying toSollyany chance my pr could be looked at?
oh, pardon, I was typing a micro-essay in #unknownYou know whatfuck itReplying toAzzyypaaraskal, 24, the rest shall scream at me
But it is ok, this need be said@role If ever you ponder what we are doing, where we are going, what it is we seek to create, what Aether Reborn will be. This is it, this is our purpose in this venture, or at least mine.

Replying toSollyTwilight forest is amazing aesthetically
debatable now but in my memory yesReplying toFoundationGamesdebatable now but in my memory yes
Yes, it is peak 1.7 looksReplying toFoundationGamesok now how are you gonna do it
Slowly and carefully, you would not believe the sheer amount of stuff that has been said in staff channelsReplying to『Al0r3nt』just sounds like a cheesy ass mod that will fail a gain

it doesn't matter whether or not the mod succeeds, as long as the devs have fun and can make something they enjoy- ☝️1

That's not really what the message was aboutReplying to『Al0r3nt』what I see in the message is not a "At least we'll ahve fun" but a "I try to do what'S…
That's... not what your comment stated.- no
- The point of the message was not some cheesy bullshit about community or anything of the like, just to clarify.The poins that our goal here is to avoid creating a single use world, a tale that is done when it is done. I cannot speak for the entirety of the team, I am only me after all, but at least I seek to make this place genuinely lively, somewhere you can sit back and chill even long after your journey is over, build a home, maybe settle the place as your primary base.

I want to achieve the same thing vanilla achieved, where slaying the dragon is not a true ending, in AR, defeating Eir should be the beginning of the true journey. - Hey, for what it's worth (I will almost certainly not comment in here often, maybe never again lol, I literally just join the discords for support and to see what the dev situation is like) that is a goal I can totally get behind. As a full time java dev and an amateur game dev, making something that outlasts a single use / playthrough is an ambitious but highly relatable goal.
Replying toSalvieHey, for what it's worth (I will almost certainly not comment in here often, maybe never…
It is, indeed, quite the goal to pursue, but it is one that I will seek 'til the end. It is an upward battle since, in drawing the player's time and energy, we are competing with the overworld which, if nothing else, has a massive upper hand in the fact that it is the overworld, it is the defacto, the place of comfort, and hte place everything feeds back into.I will admit it is a goal I am not sure how to achieve, and really, I don't think anyone is certain how to achieve it except perhaps mojang, and even then I have my doubts. It is complex, as pretty much every facet of the place contributes to that in some way or another, but I do as I can, I observe what others have done, where they have failed, where they have succeeded, and I act upon what I see, and so far I would say it has worked well.- ☝️1
I probably spend more time pondering what the next step will be than actually coding... which is perhaps why I amlewdlead designer over anything else :3- ☝️1
Replying toSalvieTrue that. I am working on a game rn that I started back in late 2020 and have nothing…
Oh, neat, what is it about?- AR is... well uh gameplay wise it is pretty obvious, venture around, build, mine, everything you would do down in the overworld but with a skyward twist™️, same idea as the original but greatly expanded and modernized, but you probably already knew that :3

As for lore... well uh, I can't say much because half the fun is finding out just what in the fuck is going on but it takes inpsiration from FromSoftware games, in particular bloodborne, and it includes at least one lovecraftian being that was at some point a valkyrie- 💜1
- I will do it when I wake upgn
- Did we move away from json biomes in any way, I noticed some javaside biomes garbage and I think it may be the cause of https://github.com/devs-immortal/The-Aether/issues/401everything used to be in json
Replying tonailujwhy is there a Resolved label
Issues resolved but not yet shipped in a release, I believeReplying toJack PapelMy initial thought was "sticky situation", which is a bit bland
World of GooA reference to this old game
- 'ight, I have procastinated enough. Moas be getting done tonight so I can finally move on to some other stuff, I want to dabble around with structures and finally redoing advancements
Replying tonailujwhy is there a Resolved label
Issues only close when the next release containing the fix is out- About to be off to bed, but what if golden swets didn't suck you, and instead dealt greater damage? It would distinguish it a bit more from the othersGolden amber is presumably denser than pure swetOnly thinking, because I'm working on the wiki for swets right now, and there's not much differentiating them with blue swets, other than default size.
Replying toAzzyypaarasAnd on that note hey jack what if you were to look into electric arc rendering 👀
> Don't know entity models > Don't know rendering > Don't know electricity I'll try my best 😄- yellow
Replying toSollySince when is electricity yellow?
Have you ever played any nintendo game in your lifelight blue is clearly ice smhReplying toSollyWhat right do they have to stop users tweaking a device they bought and own?
I understand this logic on a phone or PCBut a console is made for gamingIf you want to do other things, do them on a PC- It makes sense that they would oppose custom firmware given that the integrity of their online games (aka, making sure people don't cheat) depends mainly on the games being unmodifiedWhy make an expensive anticheat when you can just prevent people from cheating in the first place.
- If I am a corporation that is making my own set of games for my own console whose software I made, why the hell would I spend extra time and money creating an additional system to add onto that chain to prevent cheating, which also adds another place where things could go wrong, instead of integrating it into an already existing layer.
- I can see where your opposition to my idea of hardmode items being single drop only comes from, you are a stalwart oneAlso, for a less morally pristine example, allowing custom firmware harms term as, you know, that recolor? It could have been theirs, if you can just change something for free that you would have otherwise needed to pay for then that is not exactly great for their bottom lineIt is then even more sensible for them to prohibit such changes
- I just dislike weak stances, if you are going to stand by something then have a good reason for it, truly believe in what you believe.When someone says "Fuck x" nine times out of ten there is no good reason for itAnd it is impressive how many things can result from that, all of them bad
Replying toSollyGolden swets pissing on the player would be great though, ngl
Golden shower time? 😳Replying toAzzyypaarasIt is a start, lightning bolt rendering may also be of interest
Don't worry, I know all about rendering lightning https://discordapp.com/channels/770691727568404521/770698788629118997/867547682818359346
