    "how to play" is an in-game wall of text in the inventory

    If the game expects players to go through such a long text placed in a remote part of the game (people playing Luanti for their first time probably don't know how to put an inventory), I think the game has already failed. In general, the graphics style was kinda hurting my eyes, as things were hard to read. Nice touch the vertical hotbar but aside that I don't think there's (currently) a lot that can be praised

    Beautifully immersive world

    This game is so visually pleasing, I don't know as that I've ever seen a game use 2x2 textures, but 1042 pulls it off and looks good doing it. Mechanics could use a little fine tuning, When you place a chest it randomly has items, some of which are unknown, but you can just place a chests, grab the items, break the chest, place it again, and get new items. Starting a fire was the worst part for me, as I didn't realize that I was supposed to use the Aux key to strike the flint and steel, so I was trying to punch it, which obviously didn't work.

    I’m confused …

    This survival game tries to be a little different and I appreciate the new art style. 2×2 textures? :-) It was interesting to explore the different biomes and the cute trees you built. I like the night sky. This simple glow effect in the clouds was nice to look at. I like when people use the simple tools of Luanti without any hacks to create a nice effect.

    But I admit I didn't play with the highest graphics settings tho.

    I disliked the vertical hotbar and quickly switched to the horizonal one. It's very hard to get used to the vertical one.

    The downside is that the gameplay feels lacking. Unfortunately, I don't know how to proceed. I tried to make iron ingots but the instructions are just too confusing. After trying a few times, I gave up. I managed to make fire at least and light some trees on fire lol.

    I wish this game had a crafting guide. Not even the README tells me a lot of information. Which is a bummer because I would have liked to see the other parts of the game. :-(

    Overall, I have to give a thumbs down because of the confusing gameplay and the game help … well … doesn’t help me so I quickly became stuck in this game, not knowing what to do. :-(

    But still thanks for posting this, it was still interesting to look at for a while.

    It's the year 1042 and you are lost.

    It's the year 1042 and you are lost.

    1042 is a yet-to-be-completed survival game, the aesthetic is pleasing, simple 2 by 2 textures. Sound is a bit lacking. Effects like snowfall and rain are present and add to ambiance as well, but the world feels barren.

    Hud is interesting as well, with the inclusion of a readme, gameplay, and credit buttons to read documentation in game.

    There is still a lot of room for improvement but I see the potential, and this is a good foundation. On a side note, at first I spawned in a huge snow biome and couldn't really progress since there's no sticks, so I had to create a new world. Not the best start.

    I don't see the point

    Hm...another MTG-like game, just without dependency on "default". Again Minecraft-like crafting (3x3). The textures look very prototypy (and probably are). I sure like that you cannot cut trees with your bare hands, something I always found strange in MTG or MC. Also I was killed by a hailstorm, nice idea. I always wanted hazardous environment (maybe not that hazardous as in Exile).

    As in "Wishful" I must ask why you don't take some other non-MTG survival game and build upon that. I'd recommend Repixture. Personally I like the approach of NodeCore, where you craft in-game and cannot carry 500 tons of rock around with you. I just don't think that we need yet another from-scratch approach to survival games, as long as it doesn't bring any breaking change.
