well at least the ejector seats sound interesting. God forbid they add too many gameplay mechanics that are actually fun.
They have a whole office full of people that work on Minecraft now, yet after all this time there's a couple color overlays, blocks that are transparent, and a minecart that can eject you out of it.
What the hell are they doing?! A single new modder could do this in a day. Now I love Minecraft, but are they taking advantage of Notch's generosity and paychecks or what
Also this spectator thing, does that not mean you can just fly over to somewhere then stop the spectator mode?
grr grr the devs do nothing grr

They only have two developers that actively work on this game, and one of them only works on the graphics optimization.

Also, they both spend most of their time rewriting the game to make it easier to add and change content via their supposed modding API later.

woa woa woa, you save that for the bottom of the article?

They're too busy working on Scrolls, which apparently a lot of kids take seriously.
I saw a comment on Youtube saying that Scrolls is "super complicated" and better than Hearthstone, which is "casual crap". I almost punched my monitor.
It is a shame that the rest of the [i]game developing[/i] employees (many are web developers) work with the portable minecraft editions and Scrolls. You can't expect everyone to work on minecraft at once though; when you're fixing the whole game to be written differently you can't just let everyone keep adding content without consideration of the new system or you'll just make a lot more bugs than they already do.
The bottom line is that most of their fanbase is happy with the updates they get, so they don't feel pressured to keep adding things better saved for later.
they need to do a design freeze and then build the API, then get back to updating

Yeah, after [I]all this time[/I].
[URL="http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/14w04a"]If by all this time[/URL] [URL="http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/14w05a"]you mean a week[/URL].
I'd care if I could be the NPC itself like a prop-hunt styled gamemode.
But that adds fun to the game and will never happen without a modder having to go through all sorts of loopholes and making a laggy and buggy version of it.
1.8 is looking to be pretty cool. This snapshot definitely looks pretty good.
I'm not surprised the developing is going slow; as far as I know they only have 2 people working on each version at most at a time. Kinda makes me wonder what the rest of the mojang employees are doing.

Working on other Mojang games. Then again, those have even worse update rates.
The modding API has reached HL3 status.
Forever mentioned, never given.
