<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to intro\u00adduce Digbuild<\/a>, an open-source game engine inspired by the excel\u00adlent game Minecraft<\/a> (and Infiniminer<\/a> before it \u2014 that\u2019s right, Minecraft is itself a clone). I\u2019ve been work\u00ading on it on and off in my spare time for a few months now, and today I decid\u00aded that it\u2019s ready to show to the world. For the last cou\u00adple of months I was debat\u00ading when it would be time to pub\u00adlish it. I did\u00adn\u2019t want to release it in such an ear\u00adly stage that it was unus\u00adable, and in par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar I did\u00adn\u2019t want to release it in a state where it was near\u00adly impos\u00adsi\u00adble to build. This week\u00adend, though, my good friend Blake Miller<\/a> took it upon him\u00adself to build Digbuild (say that 5 times fast), and as it turns out, the build sys\u00adtem is rel\u00ada\u00adtive\u00adly work\u00adable. So, have at it!<\/p>\n

What Digbuild Is<\/h3>\n

Right now Digbuild pro\u00advides a ran\u00addom\u00adized, vox\u00adel-based world for the play\u00ader to explore. In this regard, it\u2019s very sim\u00adi\u00adlar to Minecraft. You can cre\u00adate and destroy blocks, and thus you can build cas\u00adtles and any oth\u00ader struc\u00adtures that spring to mind. Digbuild has sev\u00ader\u00adal improve\u00adments over Minecraft:<\/p>\n
