Nothing is set in stone yet, but I am leaning towards some kind of customizable skill system for the next game.

I've been breaking down skills into components lately for the next game. Instead of having a fireball skill, you would have separate firebolt and fire explosion skills. You can then combine them with each other or other skills to get different results.

Customizable skills is now working for our next game. Hopefully this will make player characters pretty unique.

Yesterday was one of those days where I ended the day with a new change not working and I wasn't sure it was going to work at all. Then 3 hours later I randomly thought of a solution that took 30 seconds to implement and fixed everything. Programming is weird sometimes.

I did a little polish pass on the next game today. Jumping and mining are so much more fun now.

I think I have figured out how I'm going to do sloped terrain and blended blocks for the next game now. I even have some of the required pieces of tech working.

I now draw and collide correctly with slopes in the next game.

The next game is actually making use of the new slopes now. It looks better and is a bit smoother to run around on.

Today I started working on blending tiles better for the next game. In previous games, I have just used vertex blending but in the next game you will actually need to see what each block is so that's not good enough.

I have most of the block transition/blending stuff working for the next game. I think it makes things look a lot better. I promise one of these days I will actually start releasing screenshots.
