Anyway, yeah we just got beds and all, personally I found the latest patch to be weak but honestly the guy has been on vacation on and off for what feels like months now. Hopefully when he returns from the gdc we will see more stuff getting done.

I'd go for that! :D

That game i did, did so well for me, that now im the ruler of the industry.




Cant wait to see those comercial guys hoping onto the bandwagon.

Spread this idea around....
Minecraft survival needs to change.
Creeps should not spawn at night instead they just spawn as the map gets generated and some creeps have different favorite zones where there is lots of them but they also have a chance of spawning anywhere.

I am still waiting for you to make that game based on your ideas.

Just sayin.

Anyone else getting annoyed with the Slimes?

I haven't encountered one yet. They make an annoying sound apparently.

Ladies and Gentleman: I┬┤ve got bad news. Mr. Notch, founder, creator and developer of minecraft, had a unfortunat smelting accident, while creating a golden cock and balls.

The idea to mod minecraft already ran through my mind...perhaps...

Right now, to modders, creeps can spawn on any block, and every block has a light value. So modders can make, for example, make creeps spawn only on underground mushrooms. (because underground is darker than night). The one exception is spawning blocks, but I think that basically just works by making a creep of a certain type spawn a certain distance from spawn blocks.

I'd really really really love some more environmental entities. So I could do something like make creeps only spawn in forest biomes of X size or larger, or creeps can only spawn on large ice floats, but it's boarderline impossible to create your own entity and make creeps spawn in that kind of an area.

I'm hoping the official modding API's give modders more access to stuff like that.

checked his blog to see he is still ranting about how successful he has been and how good stuff he has already done is. no evidence of any work being done

sIGH

If you made several million dollars and still continue to make sales daily, would you give a damn about your community comprised of primarily whiny kids with low attention span?

Dragging it out with micro updates will keep them occupied, the modding part of community helps too. He doesn't even have to do anything substantial, just copy the next big thing created by community for no cost and keep making sales. Like the latest map format. Externalizing will prolong Minecraft's life by several years.

Making a new game isn't really an option for him either, any other commercial game he makes will most likely fall deep under high expectations from Minecraft's success and won't be worth the effort.

Unless it's something like Minecraft 2 where he would build upon the already addicted playerbase. A sequel would have absurdly high guaranteed profits, if only because of the countless fanatical followers.

Yeah minecraft 2...With 50% better textures and 50% more cubes!!

They made an assload of sales after they won all the GDC stuff.

[edit] For the last few days they've been making about $100,000 a day.

With such monies its hard to understand why a crew of a few pips cant dish out huge patches if they truly wanted to.

As Regret all but said, they don't want to.

I feel like I've been duped. The game lost it's luster pretty quickly for me. There's no action, just annoying monsters that amble through the woods at night.
