Hello blurb readers! While there might not be a lot of eventful things happening this week, I can say that there will be an announcement coming up soon for a new blurb feature. What might that feature be? You'll have to wait and see, but I won't be revealing it in this blurb. Apart from that, for this week's speculation, we'll be looking at bits and pieces of a stream by the social media managers Toriel and Kenko who had a little bit of fun playing around with the development build of Brickadia. Stay tuned for that!

Now with all those shenanigans out of the way, lets take a look at what the community has been up to this past week:

This week, we'll be taking a look at the snippets I was able to find on the recent development build stream for Brickadia, showcasing cool stuff, funny bits, as well as interesting reveals in that regard, so let's get to it!

Before we had seen the ball in Brickadia, there was the reveal of entities in Brickadia, which were basically non-brick objects that weren't replicated in the brick replication system for Brickadia. In other words, it's just non-brick things, like items or physics joints and so on and so forth. Nothing much was said about the ball when it was first shown to us on a Discord post a while back, but the fact that it continues to be in the game could suggest that the presence of primitive geometric items for use as physics objects could be something that is coming to Brickadia. It would make sense to have something like that, if not to serve as a fun physics toy for a fun physics-ish game, if anything.

CUT THE CAMERAS, SMALL BUG BEING SHOWN! Of course, since "game not done", it's reasonable to see funny little quirks like this show itself in this type of fashion, but it is interesting to see that for some objects, physics can be a little funny sometimes. Game physics do be game physics. I imagine that considering physics in many games always have their quirks to them, Brickadia would be no different, as a matter of fact, I would imagine that for objects that have hundreds of thousands of bricks to them would have some sort of physics issue come up sooner or later. What makes me say that?

It's not even fully collided and it's already scuffed! What were they thiiiinkiiing! Jokes aside, that model of the moon slamming onto that brick is actually a high brick count object, but the fact that it's able to work as smoothly as it does and somehow not crash the game or fling out of existence shows that the physics system in Brickadia definitely has some solid work put into it. While high brick count objects were what I was worried for, large brick objects are something I am not worried for at all, I mean look at this!

Anyways, moving away from that, do you notice anything in particular about this picture?

If you guessed some Billy Hatcher meme, you'd be wrong, but paying attention to the material, it's actually a good glass material in the game!

Transparent Plastic is now its own material while the Glass material has been upgraded to have a very nice looking glossy-glass appearance to it. Transparent Plastic is what you used to get when using the Glass material in-game, but given that it's now its own material, could this be the start of us potentially receiving new materials down the line? Could we potentially see something like a wood-material, or a rough material that's seen on the sloped-face of angled bricks, but for the whole brick? Or perhaps even more pattern-based materials like the hologram material. While there isn't really anything to support the appearance of any materials like that, the prospect of potentially more materials being made is something that should be considered since we now have a new material like this.

And who knows, maybe at some point in the future, we could get player avatars with different materials instead of just different colors, but that's just wishful thinking.
