To clarify any confusion, I aim for this game to become an entirely original creation with unique assets and ideas. I'm using Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 merely as a game design reference to develop the game engine. There won't be a release until all content is original.

Yes, porting to the Wii should be straightforward since it's basically just a 50% overclocked Gamecube with extra RAM in terms of specs.

Nope, achieving this level of performance is only possible when you have full control over the hardware.

The Dreamcast version won't include cloud shadows, but other visual effects are on the roadmap. The cost of implementing cloud shadows is too high compared to other more affordable effects that will offer a similar level of visual improvements.

The Wii is a 50% overclocked Gamecube, so it will probably have a 14 or 15-chunk render distance, which is 50% more chunks than 12 (pi*15*15/(pi*12*12) = 1.5625).

The Dreamcast has a render distance of 10 chunks, but its framerate consistency is still lightyears behind the Gamecube version. The Gamecube feels like a whole generation ahead of the Dreamcast.

Once my game engine is sufficiently developed, all Minecraft assets and gameplay mechanics will be removed and replaced with original content as soon as possible. If you're expecting a Minecraft clone, this game is not for you. The main goal is to be a better survival/exploration

Thanks for the feedback. I've found them jarring as well after testing the engine many times. This is just a temporary setup. As the engine evolves and more visual features are added, the cloud shadows will become more subtle. For now, they stand out because they're one of the

This game engine will enable features that are impossible in Minecraft without extensive reengineering, eventually unlocking new types of game mechanics that would otherwise seem impossible.

You won't be punching trees with your fists in this game. The only similarity will be that it's a block game set with some nature. By original, I mean the gameplay must be entirely different to ensure this project doesn't go to waste.

In case you're wondering, the Dreamcast's performance lags behind significantly, with mesh and lightmap generation running 30x slower. On the Dreamcast, the game maintains a smooth 30 FPS when standing still or walking within a small area, but rapid movement induces noticeable

Mesh and lightmap generation have been successfully optimized, though world generation still needs improvement. Thanks to real-time heap defragmentation, the game never runs out of memory, even when moving at high speeds.

Terrain noise generation has been optimized to run twice as fast, reducing its share of the total world, lightmap, and mesh generation time from 26% to just 14%. Numerous smaller optimizations have also been made, slowly chipping away at total chunk generation time.

Only aesthetic differences. For example, the Dreamcast version has a shorter render distance and lacks cloud shadows.

It depends. I need to consult a lawyer first. Nintendo might be stricter with homebrew titles on their consoles, so that version might never see the light of day.

The Wii has Gamecube controller ports, so you can use a Gamecube controller if you have one. If that's not an option (as is the case with the Wii Mini), you can use the Wiimote and nunchuk instead. In that case, the Wiimote will rotate the camera, and the Nunchuk joystick will

If you mean a version with Minecraft's gameplay mechanics but with custom textures and assets, then no -- that would still be asking for trouble. The only way this project can survive is by becoming an entirely original game.

Absolutely, the renderer still requires further improvements before I can increase the tree and leaf density. There's still plenty of room for further optimization.

Anamorphic widescreen will be supported on both the Dreamcast and Gamecube versions. High FOV might be available in the future, but it will reduce the draw distance.

And if I'm being honest, many of Minecraft's gameplay mechanics are unbalanced and flawed (understandably so, as they can't change everything without breaking players' builds). So it makes more sense just to make an original survival game.

Not yet, but from the specs I'm seeing, the NAOMI 2 could potentially match the Gamecube version's render distance. The Dreamcast's render distance is primarily limited by its CPU and VRAM.

A version for modern PCs will definitely be available, and it will be pushing the limits of what's possible too. However, a retro PC version is less certain, as the game is written in C23, and there are no C23-compliant compilers available that can target older operating systems

I guess the GameCube version can serve as a cool tech demo. What I'm trying to say is, if the GameCube version has better graphics than OG Minecraft (stay tuned!), imagine what's possible on the PC version using my game engine.

Not yet, but the plan is to save world files using network-attached storage (BBA or modem), an SD card reader, or a hard drive mod. The Dreamcast can handle a render distance of up to 10 chunks before lagging below 30 FPS.

The GameCube version's render distance is 10, matching the Dreamcast's. With the recent memory optimizations on memory usage, the GameCube can now probably handle 12.

The DPad controls horizontal movement, and the left stick rotates the camera. You can also use a Dreamcast keyboard and mouse.
