Minecraft

Markus has stuck with a pretty old version of LWJGL because it works on more systems than the later versions. It might have been helpful if he’d contributed some coders and / or some of that giant pile money he’s made off the back of it to getting that stuff fixed and providing testing. Hm.

Cas :slight_smile:

Yea seriously, has he not contributed anything to LWJGL or anything like that? Does he even acknowledge…anything to do with it? I remember when he posted Minecraft here for people to try it out before it became big, and now hes gone… :clue:

edit lol he mentioned tigsource but not javagaming, that would have been awesome.

he didnt ever mention javagaming? too bad… haha, my friends never believe me when I say i’ve talked to both notch, and the guy(I don’t think they know Cas by name) who made revenge of the titans in the humble bundle haha.

He has donated to LWJGL in the past and the library is credited on the credit page.

Its likely he’s way too busy to have time to spend or think about JGO, especially now that he has to run a company.

Ahh thats good to hear! Of course I figured he has way too many things on his mind at the moment to really detract from anything other than his company and minecraft, it just sounded like he didnt do anything in the post but its good to know he has!

1.1 released a yesterday, anyone try it yet?

Works fine, the changelog describes the changes, which are pretty simple.

Wow, so this is how minecraft started :slight_smile:

“…and that, is how I know Marcus personally. You may kiss me.”

Minecraft most played game (by unique users) on XBox Live:

Thanks, now I don’t have to play it, ever… :smiley:

Cas doubted the success of future Mojang games. I was kinda surprised.
Though I looked at the first 0x10c videos and to me it looks severely underwhelming, like just some shooter…

He’s just focusing on the basic concepts for now. I’ve been following it since he started. Looks very promising. Will be another GOTY if he implements everything he wanted.

Once it starts to look like Tyrian and Elite Frontier, everyone will be smashing faces on the keyboard

It’d better be fully moddable. That’s how games become awesome! :stuck_out_tongue:

Granted, I dont get Minecraft either.

TBH he doesn’t have to be successful ever again - Markus is now in the enviable position of just making games that he likes and doesn’t really have to worry about whether they’re popular or not.

Cas :slight_smile:

Hell, I’d kill for that life.

Hey - you should have higher aspirations than money =|
Or else he will be called one hit wonder =P
