Uhhm, it's all over the news. I do not know if this is a real deal or if it will even be completed, but...

Ok, it might sound childish, but I do not want MY minecraft in the hands of m$ damn it..


EDIT: eerrrrr.. ok I feel like an idiot now, you guys are already discussing it in vmc news disc. doh.

It was a poor feature anyhow. It had potential, but never realised it. See the gloom in btw? There is a very specific reason it is there. Void fog.. nobody knows :P

Only bummer in the temptation to hop off to decend quickly (I have murdered myself countless times :P) A water pit 5-6 blocks deep might solve that :P As a sidenote, do you guys ever bother fully exploring abandoned mineshafts for on-topic reasons? They are my biggest nightmare atm, they just never...

As someone who has major problems with his eyes , I'm always worrying about you. I understand that you do not want to go into details publicly, I just want to wish you the best. I often get very dizzy when reading text, which affects me in so many ways it's depressing. So I get what you are going th...

Chest carts? Really? They do have a legitimate non gimmicky use? :P

I think it is relatively safe (no pun intended) to say that caving is usually the fastest and cheapest for collecting iron and coal. Until you hit some of the gargantuan monstrosities of a cave my world has, and you realise that one lifetime is not enough to fully explore and light them up. I'm stil...

I have always been and will always be for any kind of inventory space expansion. Limited inventory severely limits my enjoyment of this game. :P

ok, this is interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udF7XX_vTUE Extra Credits - Open World Design - How to Build Open World Games Open world games offer players great opportunities to explore, but developers must figure out how to organize their team to create an immersive experience across so ...

Steam says I've played 562 hours, wow. And in all that time I've only played one game that was not Early Age, namely MA Ermor, which I gave up due to the insane micro required. It's an amazing game, with crazy depth, but also quite unbalanced factions. It also has a small but extremely dedicated and...

Whoa. Good Guy Klei? That is awfully nice of them!

I think there are few things worse in life than doing something you love in a form you hate, as that's when it becomes heartbreaking instead of pleasurable, and your love of it just makes it hurt all the more. Can we have this as a banner on the top of the forum or something? This single sentence h...

I think the best way to put it is not "the audience doesn't know what it wants", but rather a combination of "the audience doesn't know that the "a" it wants doesn't work together really with the "b" thing it wants" and the shockingly simple "if the audie...

Ah, yeah, I remember him saying that. Problem is, you need people capable of following your vision, otherwise stuff like vmc happens.

Back on topic though, is this all Notch has been doing lately? Does anyone know if he is working on a new game?

Why would one get sadder the more they realize? Because everything that matters is going to hell :] To avoid the one liner: Earth ecology is collapsing, the economy is collapsing, we devolve into mindless drones and care nothing about things that truly matter while getting immersed in our own littl...

It's a very very sad creation, and I think Notch is a very intelligent guy.. And the smarter you are, the more you realize, and the more you realize the sadder you get.. I've been down that route many times. These days I try to stick by the motto ignorance is bliss. Only it isn't. I think my respect...

Hmm personally I liked that feature, because you had to be on your toes with your base defence, and cover all possible weaknesses from every approach. Then again I love turtling, teching up and steamrolling with experimentals :P I see where the problem would be if you prematurely triggered the map e...

Yeah, personally I'd grab Supreme Commander without a second thought. Then it depends. Deus Ex HR is a good game, though for people like me who were massive fans of the first game it had it's ups and downs. Titan Quest is probably the best Diablo style game that is not named Diablo 1 or 2. The Banne...

Look, readable code is one thing but this <Grum> yes, i make people rewrite their code plenty of times a week :P is juvenile. Get your act together mojang. I wish notch would step in and tell everyone to fuck off and retire the curent mc codebase and build minecraft 2 with the goals in mind from the...

Seems like my sub-box is completely filled with slimeblock contraption videos. hehe.

Just wait. I'm fairly certain that ridiculousness will ensue, because they didn't factor in the nut people playing minecraft that are willing to find every little bit of slip up they made while coding this feature in and then make videos about it :P Self propeled BUD powered vehicles are amusing, bu...

I think slimeblocks might be a bit buggy.

Whoa. Never thought of that. I'm not used to thinking from the developers point, but this is a very good reason.

If I remember right though, didn't the original Alpha Centauri take that into account in movement point costs? It's a long time ago, but I vaguely remember something about that impressing me as a cool aspect of its design. It did iirc, and it made sense there because squares were not mainly tied to...

Just pointing out that Prison Architect is on sale (66%) on steam currently. Snagged it myself ;]
