ThatOtherDev aka ThatOtherPerson is back today with an update to The Catachthonic v0.9, bringing the current version to 0.95. This update includes a major bug fixed that previously would cause the game to crash. Other parts of the program have been re-written, and there are also some other additions that have been included into the game.

So I've fixed the bug that caused The Catachthonic to crash in certain situations on PS3 and re wrote some other things.

I've added on screen text informing you of what kind of ability you have selected, you can now destroy blocks while they are falling, now you can reset everything without needing to exit the game and I also made some changes to the controls.

PS3 controls:
Left analog stick = Move
Right analog stick = Aim
L1 = Switch between first and third person view
R1 = Perform an action
Directional pad = Change what action you will perform
Select = reset the world

Disregarding the abilities and other minor things, I really think it looks great.
I mean, just from that single picture I can imagine my self in either a big open landscape, in some big building + loads of other scenarios.

I hope TB will release their methods soon, so stuff like this can be made more often..
oh wait, no, wrong thread

Good job!

I think the real question here and stop me if im wrong PPL. When is this going to be a minecraft clone with a grappling hook and guns...... Hopefully we are all thinking some epic PVP minecraft mix. destroyable textures. some with different strengths idk whatever, Either way. Great game played the first version and looking forward to checking the update. Keep at it and you have my vote for the contest this month!!!

Cool implementations in the new update.
Very nice with the selection note.

Great stuff. But you gotta fix the "sea legs" thing. After a while of playing around it really bugs me. (Make it so the character only moves a little bit on their own when on sloped surfaces. Rather than them moving around uncontrollably all the time)

It would also be nice if the balls & followers didn't disappear when you fly.

Great homebrew game though, I love the improvements from last version.
