So what that he had whole team of helpers ? Notch started this project. Damn, he started whole genre, broke unbreakable rules and kudos for that.
Exactly what genre is that? Just curious about your opinion as to what ground he broke.JesterRaiin said:Notch started this project. Damn, he started whole genre, broke unbreakable rules and kudos for that.
Hmm... someone new to pester over a modding API. Get to it, people on twitter!
But really,

Does this mean people will stop scapegoating Notch for every ill that Mojang makes, or the slowness of the releases?
Thank fuck for that.

Can't really find proper name for it. Sandbox stacking games ? Unshackled brick layering ?Zachery Gaskins said:Exactly what genre is that?

I can't remember any game of this kind before Minecraft. Sure, there were attempts with LEGO, but...

Is that the Scrolls game he was making...Har Har Har...bad sarcasm and bad dead joke.
ONWARD: So Jeb has control...well he always sorta did...I mean doesnt he do a large amount of...programming and such?
Out with Notch...Onward with Jeb!
Fraid it's rubbish freind. It's basically Eden:World Explorer with minecraft textures. And it's £4.99!TimeLord said:
it seems to me this is a temp thing I think he just wants to be able to take a break for a few months but phrased it as stepping down so he doesn't get bugged about minecraft while he is resting.maddawg IAJI said:
I'm glad for him. Minecraft must have become a freaking prison for that guy, If I were him I would have thrown in the towel a lot sooner; working on one project for a month can be a draining experience, nevermind 3 years.
Hopefully after his break he can make some good progress with a different project and start enjoying his hobby again :3
And to anyone complaining about him, fuck you. It's people like you that turn game development into an utter chore.

I'm very interested to see where Jens takes this. I was rather impressed with the bug-killing he was doing up to the release, and he seems to be continuing to beat bugs down even now (so very needed). Also, he's apparently finally got wool regrowth working, so that lone naked sheep hanging around outside my fortress that I keep passing and wondering if I should kill it will finally have a purpose! (Also no more sheep pen mass slaughters needed. This breed-then-murder thing I've been doing can't be good for the kids. One of them is going to turn into Batlamb and hunt me down or something.)
I just hope Notch can let his baby go and his occasional "helping out" isn't actually "interfering". I've had managers like that: 'Yes, sir, I know you took a computer course "a few years ago", but I'm sure this Core i7 computer is NOT having problems with the AGP slot.':/
