Version 1.1 Imminent!

Version 1.1 has been submitted to the App Store and should be available soon!

The biggest feature is the addition of chests, chests can be placed on worlds and used to store items!

In addition, cotton plants have been added, which can be harvested and dyed into eight different colors!

Picks, and new Improved Picks can be crafted! Improved Picks mine resources faster than normal picks.

Bring up the inventory (press 'e' or 'i' key) while in front of a chest, and items can easily be placed or removed.

New Lighting

I've been working today on a new lighting system for release 1.1. It will allow for a lot more dynamic lighting features in the future, like fires, lava, lamps, etc. as well as day/night cycle. It will also perform better than the current dynamic light system.

Check out the screengrab below (you'll notice the player's item isn't using the new lighting system yet):
