I’ve managed to polish the game a little more while enhancing the lighting system and fps! Also…

• you’ll now find random bits of “dirt” on the ground. it will be a different tile just for looks and at the moment have no other use.
• created a stone shovel. this can be used for the dirt I just created!
• dirt patches can be dug with a shovel to create a random item from a loot table. for now, the items are dirt, roots, stones or mushrooms.
• dirt patches will become stone patches depending on the floor levels stats. i.e, the further down you go, the more likely you’ll find stone patches and not dirt patches
• the map can now randomly spawn torches
• added the mineshaft elevator! this will randomly spawn anywhere around the map
• random rooms can spawn around the map. these will remove any blocks and replace it with a random room schematic. at the moment the only schematics are a forge and lumber room
• added a new ore that glows purple
• added glow torches
• ores and gem glistens can be visible through the shadow. the closer you are to them, the brighter they glisten
