Minecraft Builds Itself a Free Demo

[ark123]

Sure honey, you can have a taste for free. Here, this one's on me. No, I insist. If you want, maybe, in the future you can pay for it, I got this one, go ahead.

 

[MrGalactus]

Free demo? ...FREE DEMO???

IT'S COPYIN' FORTRESSCRAFT!!! D:<

 

[ForsakenUK]

hahaha.. I in fact DO have Minecraft running in the background :O

I don't know about the rest of you, but 90 minutes seems very restrictive...that might seem appropriate for other games, but Minecraft isn't shallow and has a lot of depth and stuff to learn (or so I've heard)...so 90 minutes fora game like minecraft is probably like the 75 second trial time for the bowling app I have on my phone...

90 minutes should be more then enough, ppl either get bored with it in the first 15 minutes or they realize that the 90minutes flew past while they were totally immersed and enjoying the fuck out of it =)

Got it installed, 4 tex packs, got a nice tutorial.

Now I need to know what version this is.

 

[ModReap]

Welp, looks like it's time to see what the fuss is about in person.

 

[GamingAwesome1]

Anyone else notice how the picture for this article on the front page was the Wolf from the Mo' Creatures mod?

Just pointing that out.

I'm pretty sure that 75% of you already have Minecraft running in the background right now, but perhaps someone will have the need for this demo someday.

i am
ill probably tell my friends so they can get addicted too

 

[Plurralbles]

I got the game in Alpha, but the game actually works worse now than it did then. Gotta' get an actual video card... : ( New computer rig hopefully by christmas this december... at least... maybe 300 bucks to help wtih a new rig... I can't wait- but then I'll be too busy to enjoy it because I"ll be working extensively with the Unreal Development Kit and Blender... : ( NO winning.

 

[Awexsome]

Sweet, I've been dying to see if my comp can run it. I put it at unlikely but I'm eager to try it.

I think the first time I try to build my Golden Palace so high that it pierces the heavens and it falls to pieces around me I would get frustrated and never play it again. So, not for me.

 

[Pat8u]

Huh? What?

I'm too busy building a massive bloody rail track to take notice of your petty news updates!

[HEADING=1]MINECRAFT![/HEADING]

same here Ive made an automated train system around my creations I love the new power rails

 

[TH3_D15HWA5H3R]

yep im one of the 75%... ahhh i love you minecraft

 

[Mistermixmaster]

Eh, I'll still wait until the game is actually completed and released. I tried it for two hours at a friends place, but I didn't see what the hype is all about. Maybe/Hopefully it'll get better by the time it's out of Beta.

Oh crap, I got a different opinion than the majority! *flame shield*

 

[The.Bard]

I played a little bit of the demo, and I can kind of see why people love it, but it didn't draw me in. I do a lot of 3d modeling at work, so a game-based interface to create things doesn't do much for me when I can use that time to get better at real things.

But I'll try it again... maybe I'll get past punching sheep in the face until their wool explodes from their body and they fall into a lake.

Good idea.

But in all honesty, I can't bring myself to play it anymore. It's lost it's charm.

Also, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to download mods and maps.

Are you running Windows and do you have WinRAR? Mods are fairly easy if you get the right ones and can find ModLoader, that was the hardest part for me, finding a link to the dang modloader page.

oh, and deleting the META-INF folder...

Anyway, lemme know if you want help with mods, I'm happy to help as I make extensive use of a few of them.

I may just have to take you up on that...

I'm on Mac, ah, Goddamn... I want to try out the full version.

It runs in Java, you can run it on a Mac, a Windows machine and in Linux. What is stopping you now?

I meant the demo itself, looks like it's a PC version. Unless I'm wrong. If there's a mac demo I'll definitely check it out.
