I haven't seen any tweets about this either... kinda funny considering I only use twitter to follow the Mojang team.chromewarriorXIII said:When did Notch post this on his Twitter?

Gotta throw the Terraria comparison here.Asehujiko said:Somewhere between "has a company to manage" and "also working on other stuff" months.Me55enger said:So that puts him only how many months behind the modders?
I'd also like you to consider that Terraria has an entire less dimension - it's 2D, probably a little easier to code... I personally like both games. So please lets stay on topic so we don't ignite a flame war...Doom-Slayer said:-snip-
Will people please realize that Minecraft and Terraria are different games! Seriously, they aren't even THAT similar. I like both of them, but I wish people would stop comparing them!Doom-Slayer said:Gotta throw the Terraria comparison here.Asehujiko said:Somewhere between "has a company to manage" and "also working on other stuff" months.Me55enger said:So that puts him only how many months behind the modders?
Terrarias last update: 50+ items, 9 new enemies, multiple biome updates. Time since previous update 14 days
Minecrafts last update: A map, a trapdoor and more bugs. Time since previous update, 1 month
Terrarias makers are 4 guys and arent basing their ideas on mods like Minecraft is doing(see aether and piston update)
Majong are slow with updatesand their game isnt even "released" yet.
probably closer to 800,000 modders actually... ANYONE with knowledge of Java can mod Minecraft at this point.Asehujiko said:Minecraft has about 800 modders. Mojang has 8 employees.teqrevisited said:modders have already done more than this.
Also this, so much this!Dr_Horrible said:Will people please realize that Minecraft and Terraria are different games! Seriously, they aren't even THAT similar. I like both of them, but I wish people would stop comparing them!
I love it how people say things like "play the game, youll know they are different" I have. And in fact I do play both, and they are extremely similar. And in fact Minecraft is trying to go in the same direction Terraria is already going in, the main problem is that terraia copied/"took inspiration" from all the mods and planned updates in Minecraft an implimented them day 1. And also Im just saying, terraria has amazing updates that massively increase the playability. Minecraft does not and thats the reason Ive stopped playing it.Dr_Horrible said:Will people please realize that Minecraft and Terraria are different games! Seriously, they aren't even THAT similar.

Things are easier to update in Terraria, plus not having to deal with problems faced by the methodology and design choices made by Minecraft.
Also, since when did it matter that the game is in beta?

Okay, I'm done.
Also one less dimension =/= less size. The large terraria maps have 20.1 million blocks. For minecraft youd need to have an area 400 by 400 blocks, and 128 high to be equivilent to a large Terraria map. Thats an area I bet not many peoople can take up even if they tried.GraveeKing said:-snip-

Not taking up 400x400x128? Have you not played much minecraft? I have a tunnel over 5000 blocks long and 3 blocks wide. I have a castles who's walls alone are around 200x200x30 not counting the towers that go up to sky level. And that is just the first place I built. So saying one map in Terraria is bigger than an average minecraft map is just crazy.Doom-Slayer said:Also one less dimension =/= less size. The large terraria maps have 20.1 million blocks.

Terraria is about fighting bosses and getting loot.Doom-Slayer said:snip
See thats not really true. Minecraft WAS about building, (ie creative mode) but that isnt really supported anymore(obviously the main point of the current Minecraft still is, but read on). And with the addition of the aether, and blood moon and capture the flag, and the creative-realism scale they will be doing where you potentially need to eat, Miencraft seems to be trying to be more of an action-y game.Hafrael said:Terraria is about fighting bosses and getting loot.Doom-Slayer said:snip
Minecraft is about building.
I don't think that's how they're doing it, though. It's frustrating in that we don't know what the final version of the game will be, we just see these bits here and there. It also seems, however, that they work on things but don't tell us (I'm sure the piston idea was tossed around before we saw the test video). Furthermore, Minecraft is Notch's creation, thus he makes the rules of what goes in and when and how, etc. We as the community don't really have any say over what should or will be in there, nor should we since lots of people have stupid ideas. I think if you watched the progress of any game it would seem ridiculous - I think the average for a bigger game is like three years, and even with a much bigger team, I'm sure a lot of things took forever to implement but we never saw that progress and were never able to ***** about it.Doom-Slayer said:And my main problem is this. Minecraft is in beta. I thought...beta was a testing period, you know, where you chuck ideas at the community, see what sticks and implement and test them.
