Minecraft is officially out + something else

Minecraft related:

it's doing pretty well with its reviews, scored a 96/100 on Metacritic so far, eventhough, I don't see how someone can review a game like Minecraft, it's difficult to explain why, but yeah.

cool. congrats notch.

I honestly don't think Minecraft deserves a 96/100 though, that's a bit too high.

also, the ending to Minecraft is weird as hell, I don't really get it either, it's like 10 minutes of some wierd horseshit text.

[SPOILERS AHEAD… kinda]

oh and Minecraft 360 is shaping up pretty well, I know most people here will think it's shit, but I know I'm gonna enjoy it. it's also been said that the 360 version will get something special that the PC version doesn't have and that it will not be inferior to the PC version. I hope that's not a lie.

Game Dev related:

also, random screens, of a mystery game I'm making. More on it soon. I'll let you know that it'll be a story-driven rpg, somewhat inspired by fallout while adding some unique flavors to it.

Game pics:

I will still be working on TWE though, this game is just slight a mental brake from TWE. It'll only be a small project that'll be released soon. I've been coding non-stop for this game and it's shaping up to be the first game I'll complete in over 5 or 6 years, since I started TWE.

well, that's all I wanted to share.

The ending is notch's secret message. If you read some letters and ignore others, it says, "I have gone mental, can someone please shoot me before I turn Minecraft into complete shit."

Wait, was that Aeronesia?

No, but that's Cesque over there, this doesn't make sense - oh shit am I still hallucinating? IS THIS A FLASHBACK? OH FUCK NO FUUUUUUCK NOT THE SPIDERS

Oh right it's JID.

I knew someone was going to mention that as I was programming it earlier today. :p

yeah, it does look like Aeronesia at first glance. I didn't mean for it to look similiar though. :p

Lawl, I totally missed those pics.

Looks very promising. Make HP and HF bars/text non-glowing, though, it doesn't match the style of the rest of the game.

Also, you're free to keep the style similar to my old Aeronesia, I'll stick to my new Aeronesia… other than that, it reminds me of Seiklus (swimming in the water in particular).

dayum, i thought the glow thing looked pretty cool. i wanted the game to have a similiar look and feel as fallout, that's why they glow like that.

also, I like this style that I'm using right now, looks nice, but is extremely easy to sprite. perfect combination for me.

and yeah, the game is very similiar to Seiklus in terms of how the player moves around the level. You're free to always go wherever you want, whenever you want, but you'll still be able to do missions at you're own time and pace, similiar to fallout.
