I really like the sprites they have some character though the shiny dirt is not really my thing. Any idea when content like structured gameplay or stories will start to be added or is this more like Minecraft where you kinda just play with the world?

Yep the terrain needs improvement. :) Sprites are just placeholders I bought from an asset pack. I am currently working on a building a small prototype game that will be very simple, along the lines of Capture the Flag - so not quite a story, but structured gameplay at least.

CTF? OK. between this and the axe, at one point you basically have to do voxelquake, just so that we can play with that engine :)

that might not be a bad idea for a 'simple enough' game, a fps within everything is destructible. four a side, some simple enough goal, a timer set to 20 minutes and you have a potentially very fun game.

/edit: in an 'afps' level design would make draw distance less of an issue aswell.
