Homebrew Minicraft: 3DS Homebrew Edition

[gl1mml1ng]

Do someone in the latest Homebrew Channel (since 1 month or so) have problem with the banner of this game? Both Davideesk and andre111 latest versions shows a Test banner.

I had this issue too. The solution is in this thread:
http://gbatemp.net/threads/homebrew-launcher-icon-cache.416747/

You can try my hex-edited 3dsx, it works for me.

Edit: Accidentally uploaded the same attachment two times.

That Game is so great i wish that it would be possible to build houses or something and that it would not be so short i played through the whole game in 1 Hour or less

I just released Version 1.2.1: https://github.com/andre111/Minicraft3DS/releases/tag/v.1.2.1
It mostly just contains some things I originally planned to have in 1.2

Yes, I know it still breaks sound in other Homebrew Apps after you exit the game.
If you know how to fix this please tell me. If you don't please stop writing about it.

Changelog v.1.2.1:

• Added new Boss to Dungeon
  • Surrounded by a magical Barrier, break all Magic Crytals in the Dungeon to destroy it
  • Currently drops new Items, but they have no use yet
• Map needs to be discovered now
  • Increases savefile size to about 180kB
• Arrows shot by the player now drop to Itemform if they hit a wall
• Made Mainmenu BG animated
• Reworked Tilesheet
  • Yes, I broke texturepacks AGAIN (should hopefully be the last time that happens)
  • No more autocoloring for Maptiles! (hopefully this makes some of you happy)
  • Sepperate sprites for every type of tile!
  • New default textures can be found in the attached zip file
• Fixed smdh and Icon+Title in Homebrew Launcher

@KazuRo: If you have suggestions on how to make the game longer/more interesting to play just tell me.
Right now I have holidays from University and a lot of free time.

Tagging @keanutah as I believe he knows how to fix the sound issue.

It would be really nice if the resources could be in a separate folder. Would be easier to help prevent SD root clutter.

It would also be nice if the sound could be fixed...

P.S. I had to delete this until the sound is fixed and the Resources and saves are in their own folder on root.

It isn't really anything to make the game longer or anything...but it would be convenient to have item stacking when moving items to/from the chest and maybe a way to swap item positions within the chest or inventory.

For some reason my post is showing in the wrong chronological order...

This is a 3DS port of a game created by Markus "Notch" Persson as part of the Ludum dare 22 competition back in december 2011. I have rewritten the entire game in C, as Java programs don't run on the 3DS.

How to play:

Spoiler

• Move with the circle pad or the D-pad.
• Attacking and using items are with A or B.
• Open your inventory or use a workbench with X or Y.

The point of the game is to kill the Air Wizard, who lives up in the sky.

To get access to the sky, you must find stairs to delve into the earth to find gems to make a gem pickaxe.

Stairs leading downward:

Stairs leading upward:

There are 3 levels in the underground. Each level has it's own level of ore; you can smelt the ores in the furnace to make Iron/Gold bars to make better weapons with the anvil. (Yes gold tools are better than iron tools in this game).

First level - Iron ore
Second level (water) - Gold ore
Third level (lava) - Gem ore

I recommend that you get at-least 100 gems to make both a pickaxe and a sword. After that go back up to the surface and find the stairs that lead up to the clouds, then you will face off against the air-wizard.

Texture packs:

Spoiler

As of beta build 4, you can make texture packs for the game. They contain 3 .png files inside a .zip files. Below is the default textures inside a zip file for you to edit. To make a description, just edit the global comment of the .zip file (use 7zip or winRAR).

https://www.dropbox.com/s/qd9yhexpt9x7zyx/DefaultTexturePack.zip?dl=1

Created a texture pack youself? I will feature it on a list here for people to download.

Additional features in this version:

• Save feature
• Texture packs
• Rebindable controls
• Map on the bottom screen
• Tutorial
• Improved sky level
• Replaced the cloth item (useless) with zombie flesh

This game uses the sf2d library created by xerpi, it's a great GPU rendering library for 2D games. You can check it out here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-beta-sf2dlib-simple-and-fast-2d-library-using-the-gpu.384796/

Is there any chance of multiplayer?

 

[GalladeGuy]

Is this still being updated?

It's not likely. Someone made a CIA version of the game but it is extrmemly broken. The sound keeps playing even if the game is closed in home screen and even persisted through launching another game... Only way to stop the noise is by turning off the system.


So OP either needs to optimize it first or someone else can pick it up and work on it as I believe it is open source.

I wouldn't say "extremely broken". It works fine, until like you say the app closes and you have to restart the system.

That fits my definition of extremely broken. Anything that requires a system power off is broken.

 

[GalladeGuy]

Its not really broken from what it sounds like. It probably just needs to make it terminate the sound module upon exiting and it should work fine.

It is broken as of right now. What you are saying will fix it though. It doesn't terminate the sound.

I'd fix it for you guys, but I'm not really sure how to install SF2D, so... *Goes back to watching anime*

 

[andre111]

I'm currently very busy with University and for this reason have almost no time to code.
I'm still planning to continue updating this once I have more time again.
But in the mean time please take this small bugfix Version. I'm sure you'll like it.

Version 1.2.2: https://github.com/andre111/Minicraft3DS/releases/tag/v1.2.2

Changelog v.1.2.2:
* Fixed Sound stopping issues (I cann't speak for the cia builds, as I currently have no 3DS I can install them on)

 

[weegee721]

It says version 1.2.1 in the tile menu btw

 

[andre111]

@weegee721 Pshh...., nobody saw that. fixed.

 

[weegee721]

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

The sound keeps playing even if the game is closed in home screen and even persisted through launching another game

I just got rid of the music folder in the resource folder, it plays just fine without it

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

btw @andre111 you probably don't have the time but, this is a good guide to getting a cfw going if you really want it

Version 1.2.2 should have fixed that, can anybody test it with the cia build?

 

[weegee721]

Nope not fixed

even persisted through launching another game

It plays in the homemenu still, but when you close or switch the game it stops.
Might be just me though

I wasn't just talking about the homebrew menu. I was speaking of the CIA build that keeps music playing on the 3DS home menu even after it was closed and something else launched.
