Minecraft-like game, except 2d!

What turns me off immediately about this is the the character sprites look like they were ripped from a Megaman game and changed a bit.
first yes ds as in the plural for d second i'm suffering from insomnia right now so my sense of humor is kind of fucked up right now and i have had that argument stuck in my head for about a week now so you're joke was just the activation buttonDr Jones said:
Why are people all immediately dismissing this? It's not even out yet. Maybe it's because I personally love myself some 2D platforming, but it COULD be fun. Meh, we'll see how this thing does later.
The game looks like it needs alot of work.
I have a STRONG feeling that you made or contributed to the creation of this game - and thats ok. Its fine to tout your own work to people especially when you put blood, sweat and hours into this game. The part where I take issue is when you A: connect the game to minecraft in your title then get upset when people make that connection in their stated opinion and B: you take every opinion , which you asked for in the first place, that is converse to your way of thinking as a personal attack on you. It isnt. To see that you are so up in arms to defend this game leads me to believe that you are invested in this game - which is good! you should be invested in your work, but if you expect it to flourish and grow, you must take off the dirty diaper, put on your big-boy pants and accept that people have opinions.
Fighting an idea is fine - it is the key to victory in any debate...But you are not fighting an idea with these statments:
"I like you because you focus on a crappy version of minecraft classic with a $3 price tag."
"Your an idiot."
You are fighting a person.
As a developer, this will sink you because you are biting people for commenting on it. Just be happy that people are looking at you. You are in essence punishing people for interacting with you.
IF you are the creator of this game, you will only succeed if you stop attacking people, stop thinking that your game is gods gift to the world - look at what is wrong with the
game (and dont get this wrong - someone not liking your game because its not their type and not liking it because you failed to communicate an experience to them are two completely different things. the trick is knowing which on is which and moving on) and progress from there.
FINAL POINT: ( this one is giving you the benefit of the doubt) if you are NOT INFACT SOMEONE WHO MADE THIS GAME,
you are not the person the game creators need to back them up. You are driving people away from an experience just because they arent getting out of it the same thing that you are. people have different experiences. What is happening right now is people are looking at these posts, and thinking to themselves "If this guy is anything like the people who
play this game, I dont want to be a part of that".
Either way, reconsider your attitude or the arguing will continue.

what features? This isn't a sarcastic question, since I don't know what extra features it has.YourMom said:
I plenty like the style (and now that you mention it you're right) but the reason it's a 'turn off' is because it seems half-assed. I know gameplay first and foremost blah blah, but I'd rather have seen them make an effort and make their own sprites and make it their own. I'm just nitpicking really, but it makes me think of sprite comics too much.YourMom said:
Don't get me wrong, game looks fun and I might even pick it up depending on the price.
I have no idea why people say this looks like Minecraft... It's gameplay looks completely different to me. While the larger focus of Minecraft (if there really is one) is building and exploration, Terraria seems to focus more on combat. Granted, there are some similarities, but I don't think comparing it, or claiming it is a 2d version of Minecraft is really fair.
Edit: Should note that I am an avid Minecraft player, to hopefully quell the flames (if they start to burn).

im watching the video and... oh, hey! look! a cultural reference that i know of and dont care about! (eye of cthulu)
anyway, it looks neat... but doesnt it just steal the hearts from zelda?
and yeah, it's LIKE minecraft, but minecraft is better. play it and see what you think of it. try to not spend hours building your house... or doing whatever!
