Wow! Thanks. And sorry for asking it again.
I am finishing up my first 3D Multi-Player Multi-Platform game. So if you have a great 3D game in mind then I can do the Open GLES for you using my AllBinary Platform.
Bah, I did a WAY better game in 14 hours. It’s so much better it’s impossible right now. 
But more seriously this game is quite good. I wanted to play it through to the end although there weren’t enough health potions so I quit once I died. Markus is lucky to have a wife who lets him actually spend 48 hours on these. I had to do quality time and all that throughout. 
I keep trying to keep things simple enough to give myself sufficient time for testing and level design, but I 100% of the time end up with a working engine like 1 hour before I have to stop. There is definitely something to be said to being able to make a game that feels cohesive and full in 48 hours (as this does).
Oh not only did she let him, she was chatting with the fans watching the live stream the entire time!!!
Sooo lucky. :o
Is it possible that someone has a link to this video?
Here is a timelapse. I don’t think the whole 48 hour video is available anywhere :(.

These blocky graphics are like his trademark, and it works to his advantage doesn’t it
It’s quite remarkable how he can turn a couple of tried and proven ideas into an enjoyable and unmistakably ‘Persson signature’ game within 48 hours! He must have had a quite clear idea of what he wanted to accomplish.
I think this proves yet again that his strong point is striking this delicate balance between what is doable just by yourself and making a fun and accessible game.
Does he ever visit this forum anymore, btw?
No, he lost his password, after it was reset, and he’s too busy to click [forgot my password] :emo:
Hence the ‘adjusted’ link to notch’s profile on the social-rankings page

Ern, I just realize that I haven’t frequented this forum for way too long. What’s this ‘social rankings page’?
If you click [You have received X medals and Y highlights] in the page-header, you’ll find the link.
If there is no such link, you don’t have any medals yet :cranky:
I also just added it to my signature, fwiw.
Ah thanks, I see. Of course I haven’t got any medals, I haven’t contributed anything worthwhile here in years ;D
Is there any explanation of how this works? I mean who decides about that kind of thing?
He started on livestream, which got too costly after a few hours. Then the founders of JustinTV/TwitchTV let him stream for free from there. You can see most of what happened post-livestream here:
Now you have a medal.
