Post by: Great Rumbler on July 30, 2010, 08:14:53 PM: This game has an insane amount of depth.

Post by: Diunx on July 30, 2010, 08:31:56 PM: So you build mines and shit?
Title: Re: |OT| Minecraft
Post by: Great Rumbler on July 30, 2010, 08:39:41 PM: You can build just about anything you can think of. There's also a pretty deep crafting system where you take raw materials and combine them to make new objects.

You can also click cows, more than once every six hours even! (they die and give you leather).

So I'm not trying it anytime soon!

Post by: cool breeze on July 31, 2010, 12:15:48 AM: I only have a vague idea of what is happening but I think it looks interesting. It sounds like they drop you into a randomly generated world and you can explore, build, and just mess around in the sandbox.

Does it have multiplayer? parts of it remind me of garry's mod and I spend a long time in that game doing similar things, only without the whole ecosystem aspect.

Post by: archie4208 on July 31, 2010, 12:19:17 AM: Multiplayer is coming in a future update. The guy who made the game quit his day job to work on Minecraft full time. As of now, he is doing weekly updates.

Post by: cool breeze on July 31, 2010, 12:20:00 AM: I actually heard that someone from valve was trying to contact him.

Considering that he's already made more than half a million dollars with his game still in alpha, that's probably not a bad idea.

If Square-Enix released it for the 360 as a lost Gamecube RPG, you'd 1000/1000 it.

Post by: cool breeze on August 01, 2010, 02:39:33 AM: ok, so I bought this and it is really fun.

I'm just starting out and it makes what other people have done look even more amazing.

Title: Re: |OT| Minecraft
Post by: Joe Molotov on August 01, 2010, 03:09:20 AM: Yeah, it's kinda like that. There's no towns or NPCs or anything right now, but new stuff is being added all the time.
Title: Re: |OT| Minecraft
Post by: pilonv1 on August 01, 2010, 03:24:01 AM: How much is it? I may need to invest in this if it gets NPCs & Towns and multiplayer. World of Borecraft

Post by: archie4208 on August 01, 2010, 03:25:17 AM: 10 Euros until beta, when it'll go up to 20.
