Of course Notch went from saying it'll take 2 months to:
[quote=Notch]I think I can reach this first release pretty fast.[/quote]
Who wants to bet it'll take a few weeks at the most?

Don't Worry
Andrew will have it making equally complex sprites soon enough.
Multiple layers yo.

Augh! Why couldn't he just try multiplayer first? Much more entertaining (at least now) and besides, while we are busy fighting eachother in multiplayer, he could do the infinite map thing without us even noticing.
Also, Saccn's server is down for EVERRRRRR.
I don't know about you guys, but all of a sudden my game started lagging like hell every 3 seconds... I fiddled with settings, and it became normal when I turned it to peaceful... even when I set it back to easy, it lagged so bad after a minute that I ended up lag-walking off a cliff...
...on a deep large floating map. :saddowns:
<3 Notch
Is 25565 the only port needed to forward, if I want to host a server?

Well great going whoever voted yes to this.
This is going to, in effect, cause people to suffer from "update withdrawals". (At least a few weeks without updates, gentlemen.)
Now the idea sounds nice, but I doubt it will be "fast".

First release is a bug fix with a possible "neat toy".
The idea about infinite landscape thrills me, hope it can fit into a 2 GB Ram, you know windows and steam and Antivir only takes 300MB of RAM, the rams are never used :(
I WANT INF LANDSCAPE! (Angry german kid accent..)

hmmm... well, notch said a 'chunk' was [i]"just 8kb each, uncompressed, not counting entities and dynamic tiles"[/i], and there's 2,097,152kb in 2 gigs... that's 262,144 'chunks'... and a chunk is 16^3 or 4,096 blocks...
uhh...
1,073,741,824 blocks worth of data.

A giant cube made out of 1000 blocks of lenght, width and height
that's a billion blocks
I honestly think this is not worth it. I'd rather have had multiplayer first. And for all you guys saying "But then he'd have to re-do multiplayer to work with infinite maps!" I don't even WANT infinite maps. It's just silly.
Why can't he just make a quick option to have Gargantuan maps, which are 10x the size of huge maps. That's MORE than enough land for anyone.
And if you say it isn't, you're retarded.
Anyways, good job voting yes. Will be looking forward to our few updates from now on.

close enough, the cube root is 1024, which I think was the largest map size. Having that loaded all at one time is good enough to keep any single person occupied, so I hope local area is controlled client-side so a server doesn't explode from four people working in four areas. :/

and I agree, I don't really think it's necessary to have an infinite map, server felt MORE than massive enough to contain a month's worth of a dozen people diddling around freely, I can only imagine if anyone would ever see each other on an infinite survival map. >:/

art! (you'll be able to make your own too)
Fucking pointless. What is the point in art? Doesn't make your place look nicer, and to be honest, I couldn't care less if my base had a picture in it or not.
Wish he'd added something else, more impacting on gameplay.
trees drop trees now in indev. :l
[editline]04:00PM[/editline]
Oh I see
And before anyone says he fixed water and stuff, that's not really that impacting. Just an annoying bug.
I mean, he should add NPCs, shops, something that would make it a lot more fun, rather than:
1) Start base
2) Get wood
3) Make tools
4) Make stone tools
5) Expand base
6) Find iron
7) Find diamond
That's pretty much all it is. And it's getting old pretty fast.

If he added MP, it would probably give the game a ton more meaning.
I like that we have more blocks to play around with now. Variety in your buildings is always a good thing. However, I doubt we're getting any more fun updates for a while now.
Happily digging out a tunnel for mahself when I find myself near lava.
Ok np, I made sure I cant fall in there, I'll just walk down this tunn-... WOOP! Gap!
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURN
Anything like WoW Would make the game shit.
No NPC Shops, No Quests, NO XP OR LEVELS!

Why are you saying this? Nothing notch has said or done indicates that he wants to go that path.

It becomes non-pointless once you use your brain to realise you can use art as paint, aka custom blocks :smug:
..or just like making things look somewhat better.
How / where do you get the paintings?
grey wool/cloth in the middle surrounded by wood on the crafting table makes a painting
Also, it seems like black and white cloth is out for now.
So what do you guys think about the possibilities of having vehicles in the game?
It would be easier with air and water vehicles than land based vehicles I think, because with land based vehicles you would need to be able to jump unless you made roads. Whereas with water and air vehicles you could move freely.
But then again I think vehicles would have to be the most complex thing you could make. It would take a LOT of resources to make one.
Give your opinions on it.
