I Made a Physicalized Crafting System for my Voxel Game 

Wishlist Lay of the Land on Steam :) store.steampowered.com/app/2776090 Support development and play the game early: www.patreon.com/Tooley1998

this is a perfect mechanic to combine with machinery, as the machines can replace the mundane tasks if you´re gonna mass produce. Gives an incentive, and if you could incorporate physicalised crafting into machines (like windmills or saws) you could open up for a lot of creativity and space for experimentation. Incredible work dude

I love the physics, I see potential for this. Don't give up. Just few notes from me. (Random gamer notes). -The bird audio is nice, but don't make a loop. Try and make it randomly generetaed and not a looped mp3. -The crafting system is intresting, I can get used to it. But add sounds to it for each click or selection. =Make so that each items is dropped makes a unique sound. =Make the icons bigger, I don't want to squint my eyes to identify what item is what. =Make a background for each items block in the items menu so that if a black background is behind the items doesn't hide it or make it hard to find

This is very impressive. There's not many devs who have made small voxels look this good. However, I think the crafting system may be a bit too complicated for a general audience.

Beautiful work! What a nice mechanic.

Looks like "terrafirmacraft meets teardown" and it's very impressive! Btw I think that it would be more fitting if you could put items in the storage physically instead of opening the UI, it would be more immersive, but I don't know how you'll pull that off though.... maybe not such a good suggestion. I love the tree chopping mechanic, but I also think that instead of "treecapitation" you should make the player chop each wood block separately, it would make the game less easy. Also introduce element of failure: blocks of wood need to be chopped approximately to the amount that a block contains, if the player fails to do so, he/she will get wood chippings, which by the way may come in handy in other crafting recipes. Same for sticks, which can be obtained by chopping a log into firewood, then chop firewood into sticks. I don't think anyone has done something like that in any game. Also a potential for a progression curve: stone axe chops too little wood and is imprecise, can ruin many logs, bronze axe is more durable and chips wood a lot more but is heavy and still ruins wood sometimes, iron axe is good, steel axe is light, precise and cuts through wood like knife through butter, ancient lazer cutter is a relic of the long dead civilization, which was used to cut stone, wood and iron without waste, can only be found in dungeons. But then again it's your game after all, you should do what you think is right... Edit: instead of chest, use shelves, unless you want to lock something up. Chest has been cliché for a long time allready and you have a physicalized game, with well modelled items, let those items be on display! You can make different storage blocks, which can have extra uses apart from being just storage: like firewood racks, coal pits, meat hooks, baskets which can be easily picked up and placed on the go, barrels to marinate food in (barrels can also be filled with explosives, ignited androlled downhill), vases etc.

looks very cool!

You should change the inside of the trees to a tougher, harder to chop and lighter coloured material for the inner wood, and then have an easily cuttable outer layer of bark, this would build immersion and just look plain awesome!

Yeah was wanting to do something like this for a while now so I think it's really cool to see someone else do it as it shows me I'm not delusional in my ideas for things.

this is so beautiful and satisfying! i would love to see a hour long gameplay on this :D

This looks fantastic! I love the background sounds. It give such good atmosphere and really make it feel like youre outside

Wow! That looks amazing! Both the crafting system, and just the world in general. Keep it up!

This looks awesome! Would love to see some kind of Noita-style way for certain items to interact in the world of the game to complement the physicalised crafting.

Really cool and I like where it goes! I would just tune it so you don't have to open the menu sooo many times. Minecraft is nice because you open the menu once and do everything. But here having to go back and forth can be a pain. One problem being that, if you want to set an item exactly where you are looking, you have to first move, open menu, check if you can, otherwise clos emenu, move again, open menu check again

Just like how Stranded Deep's crafting system used to work. I loved that game's crafting

If you can, I suggest having little stubbles remaining when you cut wheats. That way it feels much more immersive and with Voxels it shouldn't be that complicated, right?

Nice man! Keep up the creative juices. You really thought outside of the box and created something unique. Keep at it!

Wow the crafting looks extremely satisfying without any bulky inventories

This whole game looks so cool! I would love to play if you ever want a play tester for anything!

I think a voice over explaining what is happening would make it easier to understan. I am pleasantly surprised!

Bro I was watching Minecraft video and I just found this Like I absolutly love this, Imma check your channel and hope this game is released lmao

This is awesome, finally a block based game that doesn't just copy Minecraft. I like where this is going and it looks beautiful.

DUDE Immediately, this being my first time seeing this project, I want to play this soo bad lol wishlisted :)

This is really cool, you should also consider adding some sort of animation instead of having the crafted item just appear.

sounds like you got the bird sounds straight out of my pleasant childhood memories

Very cool! Small suggestion, it would be a fair bit of work, but a neat animation showing the components forming the end product would help sell the crafting IMO.

very nice, although I think the axe top part should be in the stick like real life.

I would love to play this some day.

The more clips I see of this game the more I want to play it!! Awesome work!☺️

This brings me back to the cubeworld days!

This looks so good. It's a fun idea, I think you just need to figure out an ingame way of learning recipes, it seems a bit hard to know which item is causing what effect at the moment. It's giving me that peaceful cozy vibe hard anyway. ^^

Please don’t give up on this

With sounds, animations and even a varied amount of time for collecting resources

Wow that's cool mecanic , hope your game will release soon 😊

Well, this is something i wanted in so many games for such a long time

Love this! The sounds are so relaxing, too!

A little detail that would make all of this looke better is if You add just a little gesture movement to the hand when you pick up something. It feels really empty without an animation. Everything looks so good

now that is epic, I love the concept of avoiding UI's.. mostly because i hate 2D art but the game just feels so much better without unnecessary GUIs

Now you got me thinking of the world turning to dust when you chop a tree

This gives off the vibes of that old Cubeworld game that never saw the light of day

"so, is this the minecraft 2 people were talking about?"

Perfection. Only two slots for two hands, a little inventory space and crafting in game not at UI's this is really perfect.

Stranded deep had this and i thought it was undertalked about at the time lol. i know this is 2 years old now, but im glad to see more people using this type of system.

Nice bro! You seem to be striking a good balance between realism and gameplay!

You just made a survival mode for teardown! Looks super cool! Also the crafting is super unique!

I HAD THAT SAME IDEA FOR A MINECRAFT MOD, specifically for terrafirmacraft. Awesome!

vintage story vibes. pretty looking

A project with great potential... I can see the mods already

this is absolutely amazing! your doing some good work here.

That's quite amazing! It looks really good and it's an interesting system for item crafting!

this game looks kinda nice, would love to see it on steam some time.

I'm loving the ambience!

This reminds me of Minecraft old way of crafting. Clicking the item you want just isn’t the same as arranging your items! I love this.

that really gives off stranded deep vibes, and it's amazing!

Hey man its right what i need in my game! Thanks for idea! This drag-between-inventory-and-world system is perfect! I just trying to develop the most immersive, diegetic and realistic inventory/crating system, and your video advanced my developement a lot! (i thought how to solve problem of items telepotation from hand to inventory when you take its from world)

this is really cool and i think it would be cooler if when you chop down a tree, the top half falls naturally instead of just dissolving, it would look so satisfying and improve the aesthetic!

I have to play this one day, looks like a blast

Looks fun, great job!

looks great, good job bro

Looking amazing

Well that's cool... Just one thing: It's weird you can just drag it out of your inventory onto the ground while the UI is still there and kinda in the way of where you're looking...idk I would make it so that you select the component in the inventory and it goes into your hand and then you can place it on the ground just like you did with the crafted table at the end of the video

I love the ambience!

This looks like teardown and a sandbox game had a child. I love it.

It looks at first glance like a new cubeworld and that I like

oh!! I love the look!! It gives me Trove and Minecraft sorta vibes 😊

i can smell the ocean.. stranded deep?

This looks gorgeous!

This kind of looks like modded minecraft combined with teardown, and i like it

I love the atmosphere!

this is so clean

How can I give this man my money!? Amazing work!!

The flowers and grass are really pretty.

This looks really really really good, please keep it up

you seem sort of familliar... also nice crafting system dude

Very cool game! Add some sound for crafting. Beautiful work!

This game is medicine for the soul

First person I see to make a voxel game that doesn't look like minecraft. Incredible.

Your game looks really cool :D I just found out about it and am really impressed (Watched the water physics video first :D ). Are the trees pre build or procedurally generated? If they are pre made, nice work, they really look like trees ;). If they are procedurally made, nice work, they really look like trees ;), but what algorithm did you use to make them?

OMG my dream game is happening

Many games have this crafting system. Good job for making it more popular, thanks

Love every bit of this. Aesthetic is a bit Cube World - esque. Bit too much time spent in ui for me though

This needs to come out...

bro the visuals🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This looks amazing

I think having a book to document recipes would be great.

crafting system looks like something that will anger me every time i will have to create something in hurry

It's looks so relaxing. Good work!

thw birds hvaing an aneurysm in the background

reminds me of stranded deep crafting

This looks great man!

Looks intriguing. I remember a similar crafting system within a Roblox game "survival 303" circa 2016. I'm not sure about that hotbar though, I presume that it's supposed to be as if each item as mapped to each hand, but you'd have to lean into that. A terrible example of a pointlessly short hotbar would be Subnautica, that game has few items to use but even limited to 5 you still open your inventory needlessly often.

this game looks cool, hope you can have luck with it and ignore the people say its a ripoff

reminds me of this old voxel game that died off and was never finished cant remember the name but there was goblins etc and it was open world

would be nice if you add like a animation where they merge between the materials and appear the crafted item

This is amazing and looks cool, however I think it would be nice to know what Items will be consumed because with that many items on the workbench you probably want to know what part gets used up

wow your game is really impressive

It's f***king amazin ! i wonder, did you make it from scratch (in that case you're a damn monster) or you make it in a already existing game engine and have a badass pc ? Anyways good job and continue like that ! (you will have my money bro)

Wow! What a game, this deserves more attention.

What a beautiful game. Could imagine myself just sitting afk in it for the lovely aesthetic!

This is a very cool mechanic
