I don't think Minecraft has ever run as smoothly for me as Blockscape did, and the graphics just are amazing. Unison, I tried out the Blockscape demo now also, and my experience was a bit different than yours. In closing, I'm not saying to avoid it, but try the demo before purchasing. It's eye-catching, but maybe something that should be reserved for certain man made materials rather than found in nature. He's kind of gone over the top with a few graphics related decisions. Supposedly the stained glass tints the color of light on the other side of the light source (I couldn't test it, no clue how to get stained glass outside of god-mode which isn't available in the demo). I want to like it, I mean it actually has working alpha transparency! Stained glass windows, man! The lighting is interesting, but maybe a bit too intense. There's a lot of buggy behavior, which I'm sure he will improve in time, but if the user experience is so non-intuitive and complex this project is going to have a hard time finding any recognition. While typing this the game just crashed and deleted my progress. The fact I only get about 10 frames per second doesn't help. So, at least block placing is possible I now realize, but it's still a huge pain. This took me about 20 minutes and I just didn't have the patience to do anymore. Now that I'd figured out 'block' placement, I finally built something. The right half is where all the full blocks are, but no matter what I tried (and I tried everything I could think of), I could not access the full blocks for placing. Your toolbar seems to be divided in two halves, and you seem to only have access to the left half. I, for the life of me, could not place the full blocks. Maybe this next part is my fault, though I couldn't find any kind of guide on building. It isn't as accessible as Minecraft, or even the Tekkit-included mod that lets you use a saw to make smaller and smaller pieces. The sheer volume of items due to this is something I perceive as a flaw. In this game, you mine a single 'block' and your toolbar is full of the corners and sides and angles that made it up.
