    but once you get like a bubble boost tech you can clear that without even expending half your energy. Getting something like double Jump would make it pretty dang easy to just climb down a bit and jump across =\. I hope changes are being made to the Tech as well! or at least make the canyons way wider - that's pretty tiny imo. Lookin' cool though the old terrain Generation just was not diverse enough!

    an idea with the background, just add a touch of background terrain layer up so it looks like there is dune, similer to when you go underground there is a wall of rock

    ILivedinauterus Master Chief

    Looks interesting. All I can see however when I look at that picture is the amount of coal uncollected.

    Redcorpian Void-Bound Voyager

    This is pretty epic, I really would like to see some worlds with EXTREME terrain. Extreme terrain, as in the kind that would take a hookshot to navigate. (did I say hookshot? I meant grappling hook.)

    Loved this canyons, would be nice to make a home in there ...
    Ah, I found no where to post bugs on a certain update, then I'll post it here ...
    In Nightly Update 1 Protocol 657 I found a bug ... Passive monster of my world is simply immortal! He gets the life bar empty, but still alive and attacking! T.T

    Adding high altitude areas and setting up the sky to give a mountainous/canyon look sounds like a great idea. As I was making a stairway to heaven I was wondering about how much space is being used for the huge sky that is this giant void between the ground and the asteroids, and I think mountainous areas can be part of that solution.

    Because really, that is a LOT of empty space, particularly for larger planets.
    (And yes, I'm aware the sky is huge IRL. The earth also has huge variations in altitude.)

    I think it would be cool to draw from a few of the sci fi fantasy films like Star Wars. What if we had a city in the clouds like the one in Empire Strikes Back? On that note I think it would awesome to add some easter eggs to the game that are randomly generated. Maybe you could prompt the player to collect items in exchange for a rare weapon? Like maybe collecting statues and after you collect all the statues you exchange them for either a rare weapon or item. I've loads of ideas! I'll add something to the suggestions sub forum.

    In regards to the background problem when descending into the canyon:

    You can do something similar to how Terraria handles it by swapping the background out to a unique underground/canyon image when the player's position reaches a certain depth.

    I think the edge of the canyon looks fine as-is. Don't most, if not all canyons have sudden steep sides?? Besides, it's more intimidating that way.

    Heh... all the more reason to build a beee-youuu-tiful bridge over it and enjoy the architectual pleasure of it.


    or, just a good'ol dirt one which works but is buttugly.
