ESET is giving a false positive. I used an obfuscator called 'confuser' to obfuscate the code.

Virustotal scan:
Virustotal.com

1 of 48 was a positive... ESET had the positive "a variant of MSIL/Packed.Confuser.G"

bug report for confuser:
Confuser.codeplex.com

Hope that solves your problem!

what do you mean, virus? Where did you download it from?

I'm always interested in feedback. Any particular pointers on what you'd like to see?

Well, I appreciate you feel like it's up to snuff enough to be compared to Terraria, which is a great game. Thanks! I'm hoping to get more of the sci-fi stuff more prominently featured pretty soon here.

Hmmm... I have shown this to about 50 people and that is the first time I have heard this. Any particular things about the art that are "terrible", my good sir?

The game will not be free to play, but I will release a limited demo that has vehicle crafting, item combining, and multiplayer disabled.

Thanks for your comments, hy53Xniner!

One of the most important design goals for this game is low resource usage. Glad to see that being fulfilled.

I do need to put more documentation together and add an in-game help system to make it more obvious how to work with the game. Crafting will eventually have an up arrow and a down arrow to facilitate switching between crafting options without the use of the scroll wheel.

I've always wanted a quick and easy way to toggle games between full-screen and windowed... I am very happy with how Exilania toggles between the two.

The Item combining system has, unfortunately, not been implemented yet. It is coming up around the corner. I am currently working on getting multiplayer NPCs/mobs functioning, after which being able to fight them becomes important, and so does item combining.

Any distance mining is a dev implementation for easier testing, future versions of the game will limit the distance to which you can mine resources and place blocks/items. There will be items, though which allow for longer-distance mining. (laser drill anyone?) Eventually, vehicles which you build from scratch will be able to do the mining for you (with you as the pilot, of course)... materials will then be deposited into either the vehicle's storage chest (which you place inside the vehicle) or go straight into your inventory.

I have been thinking about additional ladder functionality for the future. If all goes well, I will have time to implement ladders as well(I already have ladder sprites made), I am currently thinking I would need to make new images for a back-facing version of all character pieces I make, as I'm not sure someone going sideways up a ladder looks very natural.

Thanks for the positive input, I was quite happy to see it.

The very basic gameplay, yes is inspired by Terraria. Working on implementing the advanced features right now, like fully custom item crafting.

some things to check for:
1. You are in Windows
2. You have Microsoft.net redistributable 4.0 installed (Windows 7 comes with this already installed)
3. you have XNA redistributable 4.0 installed

the readme.txt has links to these files, you can download them and run the installer... if you don't need to install them, windows will let you know.

This is a download of version 0.04. It contains about 30 minutes of game-play, obviously MANY of the features in the final game are not yet implemented, but you can already build a house, and even outfit it with solar energy and lights that turn on when it is dark.
