Minecraft

because there's really enough people he can still sell to.
it feels like minecraft has already hit it's big boom and is falling back down, imo. unless there's a big update that changes gameplay a lot, i'd say it's pretty much dead, beyond people who are playing it right now.

i guess i should be fair and wait for the other game modes that are going to be coming out, but i haven't heard word of anything in any respect.

which is why i asked if there was anything that had happened since the achievement update.

Someone needs to check the Mods on minecraft forum IMO.
But there are MANY things you haven't tried. Minecraft is nowhere near its 'peak'. What with the Modifications you can run and play with, along with the updates he's bringing out. Also Server updates are always rolling out.

Theres alot more to wait for. Even when the game goes full come November Notch is going to be constantly updating. Like the Achievements will be updated via online and even kept online in a profile, there'll be more mods to look out for as well as easier mapping and modding techniques released by Notch. Plus Notch is thinking of bringing Boss characters in (due to all the dungeon mods and boss mods on Minecraft forums).

I have a feeling you've just played without a single mod, without looking at the mods and just gone "Meh". Frankly if thats the case you should go to:
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Mods
and even check out all the other sections of the Minecraft wiki, theres alot you can try to keep yourself entertained. I'm still trying to do TNT cannons.

if i wanted to play a mod, i'd stick to other games.

my point is not that the community is dead, but that the actual developer (y'know, the one making a profit and who is supposed to be working towards a true, finished "release"?) has more or less.. stopped development. for the time being, at least. i remember reading about weekly updates, and that kinda dropped out once i bought the game, sadly.

if the only thing minecraft has to offer now is mods, it's basically dead to me. there are plenty better games with plenty more interesting mods, imo.

notch promised a finished release, not a hacked-together moddable base.

edit: >read second paragraph

okay, cool, so it's going to be another 5 months before an update, presumably.. neat.

i doubt there will be much more till then. could prove me wrong, but i'm not going to hold my breath.

Your still a ****ing idiot :l

It's going to be 5months before they finish beta. They'll be releasing 1.6 soon

He hasn't stopped for a second, he released screenshots of this 'sky dimension' to mimic the soon to be released Aether mod recently.

All because you've given up on a game and THINK it's dead doesn't mean it is. My friends think Pok?mon is dead and is it? No.

 

[Mino]

I think Minecraft's days are far from over. **** THE HATERS.

I still enjoy playing this game, and I haven't even played SMP. If Mojang can get SMP to run perfectly, I'll never stop playing this game.

I think most of there time has been going into making multiplayer work better. It is hard to network a game like this between so many people, and getting the nether working in multiplayer is a feat

Also looks like at least one other dimension is on the way... though little known other than floating islands

It's like the Aether Mod. Except the Aether mod is ****ing HUUUGE. It's amazing even if the guy is yet to release it

From him making his points, you don't need to call him a "****ing idiot" now.

As for this sentence:

I hope Notch might merge it into the game instead of doing what he wants to o 3o.

Then what would be the point of him releasing anymore updates? If that's the case, it's not going to be Notch's game anymore.
Also, the piston mod additions haven't surfaced yet. Even with them being said about long ago.

As for the game, I've not play it in a long time. I'd lost alot of my worlds and gave in from there. After all the progress I'd made I wasn't going to spend that time again.

go back to college, bro.

also, if the only thing you like about a game is the mods that the community has made, do you really like the game itself?
y'know, minecraft, without mods?

food for thought.

I do play without mods. It's not hard to back up a .jar
Like I said, all because YOU think a game has died doesn't mean it has. My friends complain Pok?mon is dead and gone and should be left well alone, yet it's been a top seller for Nintendo for HOW LONG?
J/s. You really should think your arguements through and not prejudice.

It doesn't matter if your friend thinks Pokemon is dead or whatever.
Pokemon is a well established franchise and frankly not anything to do with this arguement. Minecraft is a work in progress.
And you're one to talk about prejudice.

the way you were pawning off all responsibility on "you're not playing with mods!!!" made me believe you didn't play without them.
pokemon is a franchise, and whether or not the series should still be in development and produced has nothing to do with whether or not minecraft should be finished, or not.

if i bought pokemon as an alpha/beta game, and was promised a full game, i'd expect some kind of news periodically on whether or not i'm actually going to get a full game. that's only natural, since, y'know, that was what was promised.

but pokemon has nothing to do with minecraft, aside from them both being video games.

edit: also, just wondering, but did you think that me correcting your (not youre) word usage as prejudice? cuz i sure did mean it as prejudice.

Spoiler

AHAHAHA J/K I WAS ONLY CORRECTING YOU

I would never argue the game is good solely based on mods, I don't use any. But allowing mods in the way that they are now is amazing, just seeing what others could add is really something fun.

Being a programmer I know that networking a game is really difficult, and right now I think that is what they are working on. They want the multi-player mode to work as well as single player mode, and that will take some work. Adding a new block is extremely easy by comparison. Adding a new item really depends on the items complexity. Adding new creatures and monsters can be a little hard.

they should make a 2-people minecart

Can't unsee!!! thank goodness this version is all pixely and blocky

YAY! Minecraft update this week. Not a ton of new things added, but a ridiculous amount of fixes

And the big part of this update I think is the nether being available in Multiplayer, time to get a tbt server going

WRRRYYYYY

hmm never used the sand water gates.... what were those?

And boosters? You have booster rail now.... though I know what you mean I had some perpetual motion cart machines running.

BAsically, you get get a boat stuck in a water flow limited by a door with sand freefloating above it. Then you could open the door for a fraction of a second, the boat would go out from under the sand, then quickly back in. This allowed the sand to fall, so it could be used in a redstone-operated water gate to control water flow. You could even make it reloadable if you had 2 stacked upon eachother.
