He's already made over 3 million dollars, came to the USA and talked with Bungie and Valve and hired employees. This is with less than one year of full-time work. I've been in college for 6 years and I'll be lucky to make $60,000 a year. What's a man got to do to meet your level of satisfaction? As we all continue to say, however, we do hope your project succeeds! -----sig: |

Yes, looks promising, so keep going. I think it's quite often like this, someone is not satisfied with how a game is working, or the game not being moddable, or thinks that the game doesn't unlock the complete potential of the underlying game idea. So they get going and make their own version of the game (idea), which is all a very good thing! |

UberBlox has no code from any Minecraft server (The games are not compatible with each other at all) Quote "I think it's quite often like this, someone is not satisfied with how a game is working, or the game not being moddable, or thinks that the game doesn't unlock the complete potential of the underlying game idea. So they get going and make their own version of the game (idea), which is all a very good thing!" Pretty much there is also people who paid for the other game and see free ones appearing and feel like they just got raped and have to lash out as hard as they can to try defend their choice when there is no need to at all. |

It is a little harsh describing someone who spent €9.95 on a alpha game, and wish they had not, as "raped", if they were unsure about the purchase they could have waited to beta and paid the €19.95 price. I have got more play out of the game than ones that I have spent €50 on. Raped has many meanings, none of them good, and trivialises peoples real suffering. (It took me a while for me to learn not to use the word, as a female friend was offended by its use.) I really hope your game goes well, I have already given you a list of things I would like to see. I am slightly concerned that you are going to use sprites instead of 3d models, unless you are going to use the doom/duke3d style sprite, with 8 directions, and you show the appropriate one for the angle. If you go for the doom style one, what is going to stop a user from creating a single frame sprite that doesn't rotate or turn or animate. I really do think 3d models (even if less simple than the minecraft blocky ones,) are the way to go. A blog would be really good to see also, so I can put it in my daily blog list to keep track of where you are going. If you take it in the right direction I am interested, but you will need to do it justice, not turn it into a lame copy, and take the potential of the original in a different direction. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ |

If i showed u some of the comments/emails i got you wouldnt be saying its harsh u would be left speechless ^^ Quote "For the love of crap, spend your energy working on your own game instead of whining that we don't share your opinion. It's like I'm talking to Linus Torvalds." Whining? I couldnt give a damn i said my oppinion end of story if people keep asking questions about it they will get an answer. if you dont want me to answer then stop posting... How stupid is it to post for an answer get one then say omg stop whining Just because that answer constitutes whining to you doesnt make it any less an answer than what your asking for! As for spend energy working i am doing... I check here every whenever often and post a reply if somebody said something. |

This threads feels like a politician running for office. Too much bashing of the other guy and his thing. You want a better reception then act like a professional, stop mentioning Notch or MineCraft and focus on your own game, starting now. It's not like every time someone here makes a platformer they talk about how Mario sucks or Shigeru Miyamoto won't release his source code. -- |

I've been avoiding the urge to troll in this thread, but I can't help myself anymore. Minecraft was successful because of the ridiculous amount of hype generated by elaborate applications of its simply game mechanics. I would have hoped that programmers would be immune to this veneer but this forum alone has shown fanboys in abundance. Your "enhancements" detract from the essence of the game: a map editor. Make it into any more of an game and the illusion that something special is happening soon disappears altogether. Notch has given people a completely naked whore, and some people, due to her total nakedness and slightly retarded nature, have fooled themselves into thinking that they're not bedding a prostitute. You've decided to slap on some cheap lipstick and garish earrings, and you now expect us to find her any more attractive? I think not. Don't waste your time cloning this pile of shite. Make something new.

[quote]Some of us just dislike the way you bash another developer.[/quote] Your clone of minecraft has a lot of potential. But stop whining about notch or minecraft. Like a lot of other people have already said. |

Wait, so a new member creates a thread about an awesome game that is already pre-beta? I dub thee a Wednesday thread!
