It’d be a shame to think Markus is a one-hit-wonder when he actually spent the previous 10 years making games, few of which anyone will remember. Another one of those overnight successes that took 10 years to make.

And isn’t that a good reason to keep trying? I’m pretty sure everyone here loves making games. Even better if they become profitable and successful!

Because there wasn’t anything else to talk about and the thread died off. Seriously, was it that important that you had to necro a year old thread?

WOW! And to see this is where it all started!
Isn’t it beautiful?
Again, don’t necro older threads, especially ones that are this old.

Why don’t people learn. If you don’t have a useful post in a thread that isn’t old, then don’t type it.
To me digging up this thread on Minecraft is not so much necromancy as it is history. Minecraft is definitely part of game development history, and having a little part of it on this forum is pretty awesome (along with all the other gems that Persson and others left scattered around these boards).
Also, threads on the “featured games” board are not ordered by most recent post.
In about 3.5 weeks the “official release” of Minecraft turns 2 years old. I.e. the same amount of time I’ve been lead developer, for what it’s worth.
How is it working on Minecraft? I’ve always wondered how cool it would be to be the lead developer on a game that has probably influenced the game industry immensely. I mean, Minecraft was the reason I started programming. I owe you all a huge thanks for the game you’ve made. Its honestly more than a game to me, its what introduced me to programming. And now I spend the majority of my downtime coding, and I absolutely love it.
Congratulations on the game, and hopefully it’ll last for a few years longer!

I have to agree, the first thing I wrote was WorldOfCube in Java, which was highly inspired by Minecraft, so I owe you both a lot.
Also, Notch’s nerdyness with Redstone made me build my first ALU in Minecraft and now I’m having much fun building little CPU’s in a logic simulator (logisim).
Minecraft is really, really inspiring.
Still playing actively (for almost 2.5 years now, with mods, though).
