IKR, there was no saving anyone, except the dog I guess.

He was also quite clueless to the point of endangering himself and others, but yeah, he’s probably not as bad as squall in retrospect.

Doesn’t change Squall being the worst main character in FF history next to Tidus, unfortunately.

Survival games existed before Minecraft but in a very different form.

Survival Kids is a konami series of games that started on the GBC and went on to have 3 more episodes on the DS, where the premise is always “you’re stranded on an island and must find a way to be rescued”, but unlike modern survival games, the world is custom built and the evolution of the plot is usually pre-determined, with maybe some branching but nothing extremely dynamic. You also couldn’t alter the game world in any significant way beyond what was already expected, such as building bridges in predetermined spaces and so on.

It has some hallmarks of the later versions of the genre, like an emphasis on crafting and needs management such as hunger and thirst, so the connection is definitely there.

Yeah this is exactly the kind of model you would want to use to print, my take is that this is indeed possible but there are a lot of selection criteria for the models to work, which you can’t expect a newbie to catch and that will still require a lot of postprocessing before they’re actually printable.

As i said, it’s possible, but it’s not guaranteed to look anything like the original model. I’m unfamiliar with the baneling as a model but I’m assuming it’s probably not hairy, right?

True, I didn’t even think of that, buildings you’re not meant to walk into usually don’t even have a floor!

Short answer: no

Long answer: game assets are absolutely possible to print but will look nothing like the model you see on screen.

Rendering techniques used for real time mean you want fewer polygons and will be faking a bunch of shit, like hair or thatched roofs for instance, and none of those faked parts will show up correctly on a print since they are actually just textures on planes.
