§2.2 - Only meaningful contributions with added value how the player dies. Hence it can be disabled for the faint of hearted.
It wont be boring for sure, also community will be able to create its own 
@
The Grim Reaper: Please, do not post ideas here, there is somewhere here a thread to do this. 
Which is quite sad
Which will cost me to buy an insecticide.
@
Yates: That is sad because he works alone just with a little bit of help from the community.. and he treats game developing as a hobby too. DC, I like the river stuff!If you have problems working from week to week, I'd suggest an agile approach. Each week, take some time to recap what you did last week and make plans for what you're going to do next week. Then, use a kanban board
to get yourself to do it. The first few weeks you might fail with figuring out how much you can do, but after that you'll get it and you'll be faster. I do this for my projects too from time to time 
Also game looks awesome!

Stranded III Dev. Blog has writtenParticipation / Translation
A lot of people already contacted me to offer their help. I'm very thankful for this. Many wanted to translate the game, some wanted to provide music or other stuff. However I'm currently in a development stage where I can't use that help. It's simply too early.
I will develop the game in English (and create a German translation myself) and it probably doesn't make much sense to translate it until it's finished. All strings will be stored externally in text files so everybody will be able to create translations when it's done. Please do not contact me for this until the game is done.

Ps: Allows your terrain so far to have a lake or dry land beneath sea level? The sea is probably that infinite plane again, right?
DC: how do you do that? S3 Blog has written
I worked on the Lua API to make it more object oriented. It previously worked like:
Now you can do the same thing with a bit less code:
1
2
3
4
2
3
4
sprite = s3sprite.create(image, x, y)
s3sprite.setColor(sprite, {255, 0, 0})
s3sprite.setRotation(sprite, math.random(360))
s3sprite.setSize(sprite, 3, 3)

sprite.setRotation(math.random(360))
sprite.setSize(3, 3)
How do the new functions point to their own (parent) object?
Normally you'd use sprite:setColor(color) for OOP which equals to sprite.setColor(self, color) -- correct me if I'm wrong.
