All assets in this project are either created entirely by myself or were released as Public Domain and then used directly or edited by me.

This is just small side-project, prototype made on my twitch stream (http://twitch.tv/Tefel) where people could follow a creation process. To make this more enjoable I was trying to be really close to the original Minecraft game. While it's looking similar to Minecraft, my intention was not to create a game similar to Minecraft but just challenge myself and check overall look of all additional Unreal Engine 4 effects.

There is a lot of small things You can notice while trying this prototype
- procedurally generated World with wide range of randomness (seed makes whole thing looks much different every time)
- wind effect for the trees and all other custom elements like flower and grass
- advanced materials with normals, displacement, shaders, shifting grass, removing tiling effect and adding additional 3D noises for sand and stones
- advanced particles like falling leaves, birds
- independent scene actors - the butterflies
- cracking effect, destructible mesh effect
- simple inventory based on UMG
- savegame system based on C++ finding .sav files - simplicity 1 file = 1 game
- more than 50 sounds for different type of voxel and tool using
- menu system with GPU / CPU settings
- additional options to make this thing more funny like rounded material for trees, BIGGER/SMALLER blocks etc.

I was inspired by John Alcatraz who did started whole thing. I tried to focus more on C++ and good performance. I achieved that generating only the front faces from the outward voxels and sharing information between chunks.
