Sorry for the pun.

I'm adding some pictures here for posterity though they are also at:

This is a new block type I'm playing with.  There is still some tweaking to do and I'm not really happy with the animation... but it may have to do for now.  I'll probably end up playing with the effect and the animation 50 more times before I'm through but at least the infrastructure will be in place.

Just a bunch of big flame blocks:


I added a few different flame blocks to a firewood object and then also put a big flame block on top of the whole thing:


A bunch of different flame blocks in a tree:

Looks very good in the fireplace but very wired at the trees.
Do you plan to let it spread like real fire?

[pspeed]

Someday.

btw:
some metal stuff would be good for that. So we could build real miniblock chandeliers, fireplaces etc. stone or wood chandeliers look strange

[pspeed]

Yeah, metal is on my to-do list.  It will be critical soon... I'm just still working out what shapes I want to support to make what I want to make.

Man, this game is really coming out good.

Thanks.  I always seem to be happy when I post pictures for you guys.  If not for the words of encouragement they generate, I'd probably spin myself into a perfectionist tornado and tear it all down.

As it is, lately my general plan is to work on a visual until I don't recoil in horror, tweak it a little more, post pictures... then live with it a while.

Fire still has some issues but I think it's good enough for this release... and I'm really close to cutting one.

I agree, and caesar, I agree metallic objects would be awesome.
