Of course like you said there is Terraria but a lot of games are coming out like this so it's a good idea. I for one actually love Terraria and if you added in features like customization that sets it different and tacking on something new, people would most likely love it. Like you said it's not the most appealing to the eyes but function should always come before looks so it's good you have that already in perspective. If anyone does put hateful things, it is most likely people just either being jealous or just being idiots because as you said this is your first actual project. Would love seeing how this comes along.

Thank you so much! I definitely plan to. Congrats to your buddy too, how far did he take it by chance? Multi-player and everything?I had a buddy who developed the exact same thing in Java, it worked exactly like Minecraft too. Good work so far, I hope you find the motivation to finish it.
As mentioned, USP's (Unique Selling Points) are what make games these days.
I have seen a few Minecraft redo's Terraria being one of the better ones and I LOVE FTB things.
Have the different blocks/ores
Have different ways of creating, be it by machine or new recipes
etc etc
I realise this is your first and you are InDev at the moment, but always have a focal point, which im sure you do, but I think a "modded" style would reel people in.
But saying that, a simplified version would, as in Minecraft.
So as you progress look into 2 versions (long way in the future yet I know)
Best of luck and i will be watching the progress
Thank you for the offer, I will definitely let you knowIf you'd like any help with the graphics hmu with your skype and I'll do it for free, can also work on the programming as well if you'd like as I have experience with creating my own games in Java.
On-Topic: Looking good so far, do you have any planned features that'll set it apart from other games like it?
I've given it thought. I wasn't sure how far I was actually going to go with this project to be honest, mainly because it was just meant to be a learning experience. I was just going to get all of the basic essentials done which does include some sort of client/server-side mod/plugin creation with either Lua or C# and then make it all open-source.You should add a feature that allows people to create mods in Lua.
Client-side, yeah, you could go about doing this. There's nothing stopping you. Server-side, you will essentially be stopped from doing a lot of this. You can do that with just about any game, it's just more difficult when it comes to other languages such as C++.So, pretty much. I could create modified files for your game, and hack the **** out of it...and everyone would have the ability to do this?
Yeah, doesn't seem like a great plan.
And what SQL errors are you getting?
How are you handling the login? Are you using a framework or what?
