GN Version 5.0

- coming from developer Noowanda
- explore a giant world
- world is made of blocks and can be me modified
- create a house, villages, cities, constructions or dig deep under the eart
- Wii U will get the newest 2.0 update
- update features:

– support for multi-threading thus providing very smooth and continuous gameplay (smoothes out block placement/removal, loading/generating of new parts in the world)
– more accurate lighting compared to 1.x versions (block lights can light up to 15 blocks far, sunlight propagates correctly into caves and buildings)
– support for shaders on block materials, real-time shadows, HDR-rendering and advanced post processing effects
– new block-types
– slopes and stairs can now built “headlong”

- development is said to be already finished
- Noowanda is waiting on real hardware to test/debug
- they are also looking to “fine-tune to deliver a satisfying performance for Nintendo fans.”
