Hey GANGBANGERS! I stumbled upon this awesome browser game through a youtube video while watching the Darkon Trailer (totally go watch the full thing somewhere, think it’s on Hulu?).
Yeeeah so what the E’s are big! IT ADDS CHARM GORDDAMMIT!
Minecraft is a visually simple game that makes me have complex thoughts! Currently it’s just the shell of a game, the basic gameplay and system is running. In first person you run around a randomly generated island where you can mine away blocks or place blocks of earth. Though due to the randomness of the levels I find myself having a blast digging deep into mountains and finding underground caves… then flooding them! It can often feel surprisingly claustrophobic.
Minecraft excites me with it’s potential most of all and the thing is evolving at a rapid pace, just check out the blog. As it’s browser based you will always be playing the most up to date version, so one day you may log in and find new content. The creator/genius behind Minecraft known as Notch says one of his main inspirations is Dwarf Fortress. Now try imagine Dwarf Fortress in a multiplayer 3D first person setting. Oh GAWD that sounds good!
Oooh relevant, I’ll tell him to add Lava Worms
So go try out MINECRAFT HERE
***UPDATE***
Wow I told you this guy works quick, check it it’s only been 24 hours since this initial post and he has had multiplayer tests done! Here is a user video of the tests. SO EXCITING! He should be launching public servers soon.
