Notch “basically announced” Minecraft 2

Markus “Notch” Persson “basically announced” Minecraft 2.

During an on tiles” or a “spiritual exploration”. successor” of Minecraft.

In the post asking for “honest, legit feedback…for once,” Persson briefly explained what his dungeon crawler would entail, but then admitted, “but then I got to thinking that maybe there are people who like my work but I might not share my taste for retro nostalgia and would prefer that I make a spiritual successor to Minecraft, and I mean, sure, I would take this money.”

At the time of writing, nearly a quarter of a million of his followers had voted, with 78 percent, unsurprisingly, in favor of a new Minecraft game, even though he had asked people to “( please) vote potion You can do this Zoomers, it’s actually super comfortable.

“It’s kind of like Stardew Valley, but with more diagonal kicks,” Notch added.

A few days later, responding to commenters who missed his original post, Persson summed up what happened by saying: “I basically announced Minecraft 2. I thought maybe people REALLY wanted me to make another game very similar to the first, and I love working on games again.

“I don’t exactly care which play I make first (or even if I make more), but I know I make one, so I figured I’d absolutely be willing to give it a chance honest in the form of spiritual successor to Minecraft and launched a poll about it.

“My intentions are to be clear and honest about this, saying that spiritual successors are usually sort of… you know… failed. Tragic,” he added. “The things I fear in my next match will be there anyway and I try to strive to avoid them. So why not do what people want and are willing to give me, in one way or another ‘another, even MORE money.

“I intend to spend the money (sic) for good, but boy, have I learned that I fail often. To win is to fail until you succeed.”

Persson added that he had no non-compete clause in the sale of Minecraft to Microsoft – “there was a period of a year where I couldn’t make a game with editable terrain or something like that, but I was in the Maldives during that time.” “all of this didn’t affect any creative decisions” – but acknowledged that using the Minecraft name “would be super illegal.”

“Instead, I would create a new original game along the lines of Minecraft and call it something else,” he said. “These are traditionally sometimes called ‘spiritual successors,’ but they usually seem a little flat.

“But if that’s really what people want, I would love to make that game. That would be my Gremlins 2.”

Persson also said that as a “man of his word” he intended to “do this in a way that in no way tries to sneakily encroach on the incredible work that the Mojang team is doing and about Microsoft being successful at doing Microsoft shit.” about”.

“And I respect them for that. It’s their job. And from what I understand, they let the studio do things their way, which I think is very fair,” he added. .

It’s been a busy time for Minecraft. Late last year, the game finally received a native version for PlayStation 5, announced that it would drop PC VR support, and confirmed plans to launch Minecraft theme park areas in the United States and in the United Kingdom.
