Unfortunately, the update requires a few more days until it can be released. We therefore ask for your patience.
As a small compensation, we're working on a new effect: Since "real" shadows are complex and limited (they don't work for static lights), we offer you a kind of substitute: Ambient occlusion, which will make the scene look more realistic. Take a look (the same room from the previous screenshots):
Before (screenspace ambient occlusion disabled):
After (screenspace ambient occlusion enabled):
Apart from that, the important features of the next update will be of course - as mentioned before - a fully reworked crafting menu, several new objects (torches, furniture, doors etc.) and two new blocktypes.
XDXD Awesome!
lol as you said, ambient occlusion is giving perfect results :)
