Isoterra

Isoterra will be (prototype for now) Sandbox Open World game in which you have to survive by fighting your way to the farthest zones of the world to defeat the end boss. Build bases/outposts and mine resources, but be careful, the farther you explore the more dangerous it is.

Some of the features I have planned are:

• Skills: Combat Skills, Crafting, Mining, Farming, Alchemy, Hunting, Slayer ...
• Different combat styles to switch between: Melee, Range and Magic
• Boss fights
• Much more but still early to list them all

If you want to give your feedback you can do so in the following Google Form Thank you very much!

It's still on early development and basically it's a prototype to test the main Game Loop

Before you play

This is a prototype, there is no "actual" game in it for now.

The idea behind this prototype is to see if the main Game Loop is usable and enjoyable for the players because the rest of the game is gonna rely on having this base, so it has to be smooth as possible

The main recommendation I can give when interacting with the world is that the click on the blocks is always detected when done to the TOP SIDE of the block, not the sides(yet) of it. Knowing this everything gets smoother

The main features that it provides right now are:

• Being able to move around a procedurally generated infinite map
• Being able to place blocks anywhere even on top of each other or underground providing basic building
• Click anywhere to be able to remove a block, useful to dig down

Getting used to being able to dig down and build up takes a bit of time because of the isometric projection and knowing what you are placing/removing is what you actually want.

How to play

This is a list of all the keybinds and what they do

Keybind	Description
WASD	Movement
CTRL+WASD	Sprint
SPACE	Jump
LEFT ARROW | Q	Camera rotation left
RIGHT ARROW | E	Camera rotation right
LEFT_CLICK	Deletes the selected block
SHIFT+LEFT_CLICK	Selects the block behind the selected blocking block. Being Isometric there are always blocks in the middle, this helps to not have to rotate that much the camera for simple usecases
1	Prompts a block on the cursor to be placed
ESC | RIGHT_CLICK	Removes the prompted block cursor
WHEEL	Zoom in/out
F3	Prompts some useful information: FPS + Mouse coordinates
U	Toggle Underground Mode(*): Will "hide" all the blocks that are part of the surface, useful to dig start digging down without all the other blocks blocking the view
L	Toggle Level Mode(*): Will "hide" all the blocks that are out of your current Z position +-1. This in combination with "Underground Mode" make it so digging can be done easily

(*) Most likely in the future I'll automate the 2 Modes with also keeping the ability to do it manually, but for now are separated so they can be tested properly

Feedback

As this is a prototype I would be very grateful if you could provide feedback on your thoughts about the game. The following Google Form has some quick (5 min top) and easy questions for you to answer if you have time.
