Currently only trees can be placed on the hills. The list of objects that can be placed on hills will be expanded, but often you won't be able to place them. You need a relatively flat surface to place an item, like in real life :).

In this video trees are not visible because they are big and obstruct you view of the landscape, which is the focus of the video.

Thank! So am I!

Sorry about the low brightness. The computer I took these screenshot has a very high brightness, so even dark images look bright.

I need to add brightness options to the engine!

Wow, Snapshot 5 is way too buggy. We apologize for that. Here is a portion of the changelog for Snapshot 6 that details the fixed bugs:

BUGFIX: When replacing a block with a block of the same type but a different texture, sometimes visually the update would only trigger after a secondary block has been replaced.
BUGFIX: Placing new blocks would not always update the height map.
BUGFIX: Items would sometimes be created over the upper border of the map if the map was too high.
BUGFIX: Placing items at world geometry seems can cause visual issues and even a crash.

Well that's why I am making sure the engine is as optimized as possible.

It is very likely I will. The project has been in development since September 2010.

The name is probably not final though...

Ahhhh, the good old 2D version.

The 3D version still has miles to go before it catches up!

Yes, it is what it seems to be: a casserole.

I was just starting out seriously with Blender and needed a simple object to model from memory.

First bug report: dragging a selection and releasing the right mouse button outside the borders of the window can confuse the focusing system and even crash the game.

First suggestions: the launcher will be called "Launcher.exe" (not DHEditor.exe) from now on and a copy of the instructions will be included into the ZIP archive.
