The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

So Mojang outlined the new Minectaft 1.14 updating coming in 2019 from Minecon. Its going to be around villages, there all getting and overhaul and have new architecture and villagers that closer match the biomes they are in with villagers also getting an AI update to vary there behavior such as having specific work times and a trading overhaul. Will be interesting in how this could possible change villager farming and trading and whether it would even in possible in the new update. Villages can now also be pillaged by a hard new mod type that will destroy villages and you have to protect them, theres also crossbows now which are cool, there are more powerful than bows but slower and have new enchantments. additionally they’ll be adding bamboo that can be used as scaffolding for new builds to get up and down them instead of using blocks which should make massive builds much easier in survival mode also there’s Pandas which are super cute.

Overall doesn’t look like a bad update with enough interesting things coming but personally think it looks a lot weaker than the update aquatic did but there is very limited information on just how the new villagers and more specifically trading will work.

there also developing a new 4 player dungeon crawler in the Minecraft universe for PC which looks very interesting and could be fun. there isn’t very much information on this yet and no in game footage but looks like you get to pick between one of four classes and battle through dungeons.

So how long until a minecraft RPG?

Guess its coming closer than expected

Notch was smart to get out when he did. Minecraft is running into the same problem as everyone else.

What do we do next?

Caving and mining still need a massive overhaul

So minecraft RPG is now?

Not long

Yes

Yep, people have been asking for this for years and I really did hope they would’ve committed to it this time. it is the very thing the game is built around and it hasn’t really seen any majors changes in forever. The aquatic update was an overhaul to the entire game world with a whole new place to explore and new caving would have brought that same variety too with new dangers and things to find but villages are way more static and less interesting in the same respect.

Indeed thats what it looks like.

I don’t get to read as much as I like but I do buy audio books for me to listen to while I work. When I finish I go back to listening to music or nothing, I just have my headphones on so people will leave me alone so I can work.
Anyway, in the story I was listening to Waffles came up. Now you have to understand I did not expect it. There was even a discussion on what waffles are. I almost laughed out loud but I did not.
End rambling about waffles

The whole villages overhaul kind of reminds me of a mod this guy is making:

That does look very similar, so again modder are doing what the game developers haven’t before them and possibly doing a better job of it too?

Project Space Writing Report:
Chapter 6 is going well. About to write the part covering the fight…
Chapter 7 is going to be a bit longer than 6. Cause things will change. Covering the how things change will take a couple of pages and the aftermath. Looking forward to 7 but there is some good stuff to cover in 6.


On a separate note: I still haven’t gotten my proper camera out of storage just yet. I’ve been focused on writing. However I do plan to get it out of storage soonish.

Considering they have virtually unlimited budget. I expect something not quite competive but a decent leap over what they have now

Not half because

although I suspect their main focus is on compute but that should trickle down to consumer parts too.

I really dislike the new gmail look… it is forever terrible.

yes It is yet another redesign of a google service that worked fine but now is it is truly terrible, for me the interface just isn’t as intrusive and seems much less responsive than it did before.

There is also predictive stuff when typing an email. Innovation for the sack of it is not a good strategy and that seems to be googles plan.

Chapter 6 is going well. Wrote the fight. Rest of the Chapter is the humanoid velicoraptor [In the future would everyone be okay if I just refer to this character As The Raptor?] and main character having conversation. I would say what the conversation is about but that’d be a major spoiler.
