Fuck Notch
Hard agree, fuck him for his dumb views, also I feel like I'm getting some downvotes because of him 🤣
I feel like I hadn't heard shit about Notch since Trump's first term. Is this a bad sign
I assume he is still transphobic trash.
This. I strongly disagree with his decision to let Microsoft take over the thing that is basically cocaine for kids.
Okay, for me the racist and general far right stuff is the bigger problem with Notch.
His controversy section on wikipedia is fascinating. Is he still a Q believer?
Yeah I was wondering the same when K saw a similar post earlier... Can't find anything about his current views or beliefs.
His positions have swung around a lot, and apparently he's inclined to depression and moods swings? I hope he's come out of the cult thinking, at least, and making a new game is a sign he's not in that obsessive mindset anymore. I'm not interested in giving him my money, but it'd be better for everyone if he wasn't into conspiracies.
That's good to hear, I think. Not all bad.
Yowza
Didn't he get all fucked up and miserable from all that money from the sale to MS?
That's why his new game is going to suck, on purpose. 😃
So it's going to be AAAA
Ten years of early retirement is probably enough time to refuel his interest in creating

Notch is a fascist.
I mean, to this day I haven't played a Minecraft clone that left me satisfied so I doubt Mr. Bored Depressed Billionaire over there will manage to capture lighting in a bottle twice...
(And I doubt he's using his free time to learn a new programming language either so it's gonna be Java again god help us all)
Real talk what's wrong with Java? It's runtime is rock solid at this point and it's a very mature lang with a great ecosystem.
To be fair I'm being a dickhead.
I'm sure Minecraft's slowness has more to do with how it was built/tech debt and such than Java itself, as the mods that massively boost performance show.

I thought there already was a spiritual successor to Minecraft: Vintage Story
Huh. That looks neat. Any favorite parts you'd like to share?
Friends and I have had servers up for years now. It only looks like Minecraft on the surface, it plays pretty differently beyond placing cubes of stuff down. It's survival focused, so there's cooking and hunting etc. Making in pretty minimal and then you need to smelt the ores down, hammer ingots into what you're crafting voxel by voxel, and climb up the ladder of materials while dealing with more and more complex processes to make better items.
There's seasons that affect crop growth and animal health, and your internal body temp is tracked so if you don't wear warm enough clothing or let it go to tatters you'll freeze to death in winter. If that starts to suck hard enough you can travel thousands of blocks toward the equator and the average temp will go up as you do. There's no biomes like MC, areas are populated based on average seasonal temps and rainfall dynamically. Altitude affects these too.
It's neat.

Notch has a track record of announcing things he wouldnt add
I am still waiting for fortress mode to be added to Minecraft, for the planned dlc and for the game to be licensed under an open source license
Don't forget the story mode he said they're be adding.
Api when
Did they ever actually specify what they meant with that promise?
I mean, datapacks ARE a modding API. Not the kind we would have liked to see, but if a modding api is all they promised, then they did deliver on that.
It's called data-driven modding, and not exactly a rare approach among official modding APIs.
Hasnt that been added in bedrock edition?
No idea but it was promised for Java
Yes, the DLC we were promised for life for buying it during alpha.
There's no Infiniminer 2 for him to crib ideas from though so hows that gonna work
Infinifactory?
I eagerly look forward to not playing it.
Okay, but haven't we already had this in the form of [ Insert Failed Game Here ] or Luanti?
We already have Dragon Quest Builders.
The superior game and it already has a sequel!

Note it says work on, not finish.
He still never finished Minecraft.
At this point, he should just rehire Jen's to do it again.
What happened to 0x10^C ya bigoted fuckkkk I liked the concept of that one
Hopefully it will be a banger like the first!
What a Lemmy moment. A positive comment of a person excited about a new game getting a negative vote score.
The site can be fun sometimes. ;p

Sounds like he finally ran out of that Microsoft money.
We have that. Its the mods on top of Minecraft. Nothing made will ever come close to those.
Pretty sure Terraria already exists.
Only white people will be allowed to play.
