Introducing Celestrium. This game is all about adventure and fun but in its current versions it is not at Version 1.0 yet meaning many things have not been Added yet. For anyone wondering I have been focusing on my school and getting that done instead of working on this but for now just know you most likely wont get anything from this too soon. I'd love to wrok on this and stuff but juggling doing this and schoolwork (along with other stuff I am doing in my life) is just a bit too hard for me right now. You may have noticed warriors name on here and that is because he is indeed helping though currently working on something else. UPDATE 0.93 IS RELEASED!! Its the nearest thing you will get to Terraria in SmileBasic (but is not to be confused as a Terraria clone!, the engine is very nice and holds worlds 1000x1000 in size but can at the largest be 2000x2000 so i may extend it a bit depending, or add a feature allowing you to choose a larger world in the future. while there been debate i want to firmly state THIS IS NOT A CLONE OF TERRARIA. If you look around sbs you will find no game like terraria in any way other then Petitworld, this is of my own making ONLY, aside from help i get from others (such as random guy and Nathaniel) the whole game is made by me. now to the good stuff. for anyone wondering, the terrain generation is not near done but i got the grass/forest biome working very nicely. Currently it has, 4 biomes, forest, snow, sand and jungle. while they (excluding forest) are not done and pretty much empty in the future i will add all the stuff i can think of, just is hard to add things sometimes the forest biome has *Randomly generated trees *Random grass and flower stuff on the ground *Smooth terrain And more before anyone blabs about copyright for the sprites, every one it has was made solely by me (and the wood by random guy) with no looking or trying to copy terraria sprites, so as i said on chat "grass is grass" there is no copying a 8x8 grass tile unless you really try idk if anyone reads this but yes i know the map and inventory buttons do nothing because they are not added but will be soon

Instructions:

Move using circle pad or Dpad. To place blocks press on the touch screen and tap R to place but it is EXTREMELY UNFINISHED and not intended for mining use as of yet so please dont complain about it as it is being removed and made better anyways. To mine you can press in the direction you want to go and hold x but this is soon to be changed To save world press L. To move item in inventory drag them or push a then move with circle pad or dpad To generate the world Do the stuff your told to do

Notes:

For anyone wondering I have been focusing on my school and getting that done instead of working on this but for now just know you most likely wont get anything from this too soon.

If this isn't supposed to be a terraria clone then why are you making it look so similar to the actual game?
Nobody said it was. Someone said it looks like one, which it does. If enough people get that impression, whether they are knowledgeable enough to know it isn't is irrelevant- there could be a problem down the road. Celestrium getting removed due to that ignorance would be a travesty, IMO, so why take the chance? Celestrium is quickly turning into a polished game with full-length potential and replay value. Let's be real here- sooner or later this will hit outside awareness through YouTube or other avenues we can't even predict. Even if this squeaks past SmileBoom, it's only a matter of time before someone dumb ruins it for all of us and Ninty takes notice. Remember, this is running on the same system that is still selling Terraria... To be perfectly clear- this project is already quite close to threatening their sales, and that's a problem that I assure you Ninty will stop if they can. My view on the matter is why give them anything they can use to shut it down if it can be prevented? Besides, the aesthetics at this point go well and beyond one simple example, such as your hypothetical gun- the whole thing resembles Terraria so your point is moot. Come to think of it, I like to put my money where my mouth is: Should you want assistance, Picy3, coming up with different aesthetics I'm more than happy to try and help. There are several, several different ways of achieving a different look- you are by no means locked in with Terraria's approach. (I play a lot of Terraria and think many of their elements, especially the trees, are fugly but that's personal preference). I apologize for both the length and number of edits, but it's an important enough issue that I seriously think some forethought should go into.

The name makes me think of space. Maybe make this more of a space based planet exploring game?

I believe that's his end goal, to incoorporate elements of space exploration. Someone a while back requested a mix-in of Starbound-esque elements, and here we are. I, too, cannot wait for those to be included, but Picy3 has made staggering progress so far. I imagine we'll get those additions before too, too long. If I'm not mistaken, those proposed space exploration elements are what prompted the name change to Celestrium (a brilliant proposal by spaceturtles IIRC)

Yes. I'd really appreciate that type of gameplay as I haven't played Starbound myself. I wonder if some type of oxygen based survival system could be implemented. It would probably be quite fun now that I think about it.

i was the person who suggested a mix of terraria and starbound. and that was for if terraverse won the vote

Sadly, that's true. It was a good idea anyways. (The mix-in, not the ghastly name. I still think it sounds like a rap battle. In the event of further confusion, I meant that spaceturtles suggested the name 'Celestrium').

Will there be some sort of modding API in the future?
Well I've been currently doing that but I'll be done like tonight i think and you can look and see how I've been doing (it should be much better) but for places where i need a lot of G commands like gcircle or gbox i always get messed up on how to place a block of them (suggestions on making them not look like just a bunch of nonsense..? ??) but its a lot better.. now to read the like 30 comments I've not read yet o.O

Replying to:ninjagnu

I do plan on adding space elements but an extreme amount of making it depends on me finishing much needed things in the game so as much as i wish i could make it now in the end it would cause problems for programming and other things, I'm hoping to start up it at 1.0 and add lots of stuff, but I'm sure you will all understand me when i say that other things in the game have priority currently (Worry not though! It is coming). While I don't want to give too much info I plan on adding the elements of oxygen limits, space mining, Space creatures and custom ships. Anyways um until then enjoy the nice world you get/have.

how do i get things
you should be able to get items but I'll check real quick EDIT: yeah no it works fine you should be able to get dirt, sand, snow, mud, roses, grass, weeds and flowers. idk what would be the problem unless you messed with the code, if the problem still happens just redownload the game (or wait until i do a bugfix update here in a day or so)

Replying to:rando
Crafting/Buyable item requests request thoes^ here
well crafting is already set as going to be added and buying items will go with NPC's.. thanks though

Replying to:IAmRalsei

i didn't modifiy the code at all and it happens (also the lighting is horrible and when mining i mine one to the right and one down from where i tap/where the cursor is. this is the worst feature ever included in a game ever) Edit:i even redownloaded the game and this still happens.

Wow i am amazed how long those messages are... (which i add I'm happy with the detail and effort put into them) so I've thought and its kind of hard to say this in an understandable way but the graphics are and will be changing a lot (if someone can make a nice tree ill gladly use it, this one was the best my treealiterate hand could make so just tell my and make it as ONE blob (not split) on the GRP) but the world will be a small part of this game so try to remember that while i make this I am mostly trying to make all its functions and things work. For other stuff like making it look very different I cant really do too much about that until many other things have been added (but one of these updates there will be major change). IDEAS WOULD BE PRAISED!!! if you have a way to make something better or less copyright looking im always open to it, if you dont like something or think something in specific looks too much like something else or anything PLEASE TELL ME!!! I WILL NOT be offended by it (well i mean unless you maybe say you have the entire thing and its entire project lol) (which you wont) (right?!?!) (enought joking lol)

Replying to:IAmRalsei
i can't get anything
>@sagescript well said. Agreed anyways but as I said you should get items from you mining (but currently no item selection for mining and stuff had been added meaning you mine with the invisable pickaxe!! +100 coolness!)

Replying to:SwanBot
Alright so I've started work on 0.94 update which im hoping to finish within a week or less but you never know. The main focus will be the following things *Adding crafting *Adding specified items such as only when holding a pickaxe you can mine *Adding Bettered terrain such as finishing dessert and snow biomes and adding numerous ores. Things additional that could be added: *Adding day/night cycle b]*Adding weather patterns *Water on the world. *An NPC (or two or 15) these are all just things that need to be added though and it really depends if all goes well so here a poll. [poll=p303][/poll] Ideas..? post them here. Think I have a bad idea? TELL ME DONT TRY TO BE NICE AND SAY ITS FINE, I WANT THE TRUTH
Sounds a bit too much like copying terraria on underworld but in open to portals being added to other places.

Flying space worms.

Replying to:IAmRalsei

no its just not common sense but what i was saying is THE BOTTOM SCREEN MINING IS NOT ADDED YET WITH THE EXCEPTION THE CAN TAKE OUT SOME TILES BUT IT DOES NOT WORK PROPPERLY RIGHT NOW AND WILL BE ADDED IN THE NEXT UPDATE, for now just use the circle pad mining until i make better controls. please

@Shelly, Here is the difference, this game looks just like terraria and even plays like it, a shooter game may look similar to another but it may play differently (unless if the developer's were lazy and decided to copy another game).

Anyway, personally I have no ideas for your game as it doesn't interest me. But that isn't to say I don't like how the game looks, its just that if I were to play a Terraria-like game on the 3DS I would likely get bored of it in seconds. It isn't anything wrong with your game, just I need to be playing with multiple people for Terraria to be slightly fun.

Okeetay :) Unless you object, of course, I'll edit some of my ideas into your sprite page and send it to you to do what you will with. Or more likely, upload it. Yeah, that one seems easier. One way or the other, it'll reach ya.
