Anyone heard about this project? It's a sandbox space simulator from Mr Minecraft, Markus Persson. It's still very much in the making but I feel a faint frisson of excitement ... the ambition is to make "a sandbox space trading game that crosses Elite with Firefly".

<nods> Yes, it sounds interesting, don't it.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills

Yep.. I must admit I have a little difficulty envisioning a computer that can successfully run for 281,474,976,710,656 years, before thawing people out, though..
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Re: 0x10c
This game looks very promising. Hopefully Notch makes an attempt to optimize his code this time around... Thinking his earlier resource hog of a game(Minecraft), I feel a bit worried.

Re: 0x10c
I have heard of this as well and it looks interesting. However, might I be presumptuous and recommend that some of you might also want to look at a game with a similar goal called Scrumbleship? I don't want to drag you off topic, but since they are both voxel\psuedo voxel space games, I thought it might be relevant enough.
p.s. It keeps telling me when I reply to stuff that the form is invalid and to resubmit. I do so and it works, is there anything I should do? Or should I just keep resubmitting and ignore it.
