How could they even be close to a 1.0? Is the story mode finished? or does 1.0 not mean anything to Notch?

Of course 1.0 means something to him: he can now start charging 20$ :P

I read somewhere that the game is set for an actual, it's-really-finished release this year. So it will be interesting to see Notch's definition of "finished" and what will still need to be patched down the road.

11.11.11 is scheduled for 1.0. It's got adventure mode, dragons, gates to Oblivion and most of Tamriel.

You're confused. It's just so easy to get 'Scrolls' and 'The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion' mixed up. The other week I bought 'The Sims' when I really wanted 'The Legend of Zelda'

I hope that, once the 1.0 version is released (in just about a week!), they get serious about fixing bugs.

Hahaha, that's funny. Isn't that the point of a "beta" ?

Actually, I think it got pushed back by a week. So 11.11.18

You'd think, but as far as I know they don't even have a bug tracker. :-/

A while back notch twittered/blogged that he really dislikes doing anything but working on new stuff, and would only be putting in 10-20% time to work on bugs. And I doubt he's even putting that much time in.

Makes me wonder why he is even bothering with the game if he is only focusing on the new features and ignoring the bugs. MC may be a good game, but his programming and work ethic makes me wonder about how long Mojang will last. If you would rather work on new stuff and not fix bugs because it is not enjoyably then why bother making games or software because you would have to fix the bugs or risk introducing worst ones later because they just compound on the previous ones. This is just me, but I would think the other programmers on it would get tired of having to fix Notch's bugs and eventually leave Mojang or start a mutiny against him.

Nah, anybody will work on Notch-bugs if they are paid enough and Notch will never worry about what he is programming if he continues to bank on us. The mutiny would have to start with us. I'll do that right after I build my castle...

The bugs are probably impractical to fix at this point ... :-/ It would probably require a complete rewrite in some cases. :P Lots of game software is buggy and its rarely fixed...

So in other words, he's scarcely working at all?
(Given how few new features each version brings and how long it takes between each version)

Who's to say how much broken code he has written and can't publish? ;D

Excuses are why they never get fixed BAF ;).

And you'll what? Cry? :P I honestly don't know what people are whining about. I haven't seen very many critical bugs and the game has always been mostly playable. There were a few periods where it wasn't, but compared to what I paid and how much fun I've had I have no complaints.

Hmm, the game has an actual ending now. The goal is to reach The End through a stronghold portal and kill the Enderdragon.

I hope the Enderdragon looks better than the Endermen. Any word as to when they will be releasing this? Heard rumors that it was going to be 11.11.11 (didn't believe it, kind of seemed too silly to release it then). Though a lot of games and movies came out that day.

Anyway, last time I checked, there were at least 16 iron ore in the town's "misc items" chest (in the same building as the subsidised materials).

Heh heh. I think I put those there -- I felt sorry for newcomers like me :P

Haha that's funny :P Not the starving part, but the stealing food thing is kinda funny to me for some reason. I guess it reminds me of kids, which is kinda grim since I guess African kids are starving.

I think by tomorrow this 1.0 comes out.

I really want wooden planks to be flammable and collectable via axe, and wool stairs/slabs would be awesome for the interior of house.

append:I also get tired of my Felix-The-Ghoat name made by accident and paying $15 for it and looking to immediately change it, could not. >:(
