[Artix3]

And of course I decide to watch it the instant Notch finishes.

[profan]

Fucking nasty quality.

It's probably because of the quality but he looks horrifying, reminds me of that first herobrine photo

[KillerKid]

Did someone happen to record the stream?

BAD READING x 1

It just shows me the video with the loading bar going forward, but no video?

[RivaGe]

Some bits of info:
[QUOTE]edit 1: showing new lightning effects atm.

edit 2: no hdr effects

edit 3: he's mining in the bedrock layer

edit 4: flying through some ravines. pretty cool! a huge dungeon underneath a tiny island! Now he's flying over a huge ocean again

edit 5: no good solutions for the town border yet, there is one, but it's not in this build.

edit 6: usually villages near spawn. he is now walking in a village

edit 7: collecting some orbs or something. showing the blacksmith

edit 8: no use for xp at the moment, but you'll be able to develop some skills(?)

edit 9: the new biome code looks really good!

edit 10: endermen pickup up random blocks atm. Notch just got blown up by a creeper LOL :P

edit 11: showing rivers, sometimes the engine makes circular rivers, really difficult to code

edit 12: the rivers don't flow

edit 13: 6 biomes if you count the rivers and oceans in this build.

edit 14: looks like a new start screen. bye bye good old dirt background, hello picture from minecraft :) now showing a well in the village. now he's running.

edit 15: walking in some caves. new lightning engine works pretty well

edit 16: showing changes in brightning settings and other video settings

edit 17: new lightning engine will improve perfomance when changing from night to day and vice versa, other than that no difference in performance.

edit 18: starting new world, starting in a village, trying to find a stronghold. (I think? kinda hard to hear what he say due to bad sound quality.) looks like there is a new block breaking animation (not sure, but looks a bit like that cgi minecraft animation)

edit 19: enderman action from jacob: looks like they try to hit you with the block they carry. they die when they are in the water.

edit 20: looks like better and smoother when going from one biome to another

edit 21: no new height limit :-(

edit 22: he's just walking around killing pigs etc. and he put his finger in the way again.

edit 23: walking around showing their booth

edit 24: showing a girl with some minecraft creeper socks. and showing off the new title screen

edit 25: some village action, the npc aren't here yet, they are coming (at a later date?)

edit 26: not a set release date yet, might release some now and some at a later date (not notch who's saying this) but it's not far away.

edit 27: showing cobbalt, I wont go into details here.

edit 28: now they're playing minecraft pocket edition.

edit 29: back to minecraft 1.8,w alking in a desert
edit 6b: NPCs can't talk yet. Notch doesn't want them to, but Jeb does, and towns are his project, so Notch says its up to Jeb what happens there.

edit 8b: you lose all your xp when you die.

edit 9b: chunk generation is much faster now

edit 17b: rain is different (Notch says '1000 times better').

edit 29b: sprinting uses more food (I think we already knew this? but worth repeating)
Rivers and lighting look really good.
Sprinting is cool and has kind of Gear of War effect on the camera.
Notch mentioned a "mountain biome".
Endermen turn red when they aggro? Or water damages them. Couldn't tell for sure.
Pumpkins found in the wild still have faces on them. :[
Notch says Endermen pick up and place blocks randomly, sounded like he isn't sure about which blocks they pick up yet.
NPC houses have no furniture (they look pretty weird inside for this reason), and villages have no NPCs. Villages look cool.
Glass blocks with the pane in the center of the block. We saw these earlier.
Cow seemed to drop meat when he killed it.
Spiders have a movement animation.

Yeah. This shit doesn't want to play for me...

[editline]26th August 2011[/editline]

Never mind.

[Artix3]

[QUOTE=silentjubjub;31955167]Yeah. This shit doesn't want to play for me...[/QUOTE]

You have to wait for it to fully buffer before it starts playing. I'm watching it now.

[Swearblocked]

I had to let it load the whole way before it would play

[swampie]

[QUOTE=Artix3;31955152]Three posts above yours.[/QUOTE]

It's not playing for me D;

[dot.rich]

Abandoned mines did I hear someone say? Oh my god, amazing.

[woidoi]

-snip-

[Artix3]

Giant oceans are giant now.

[Contron]

[QUOTE=scratch (nl);31955311]it doesn't sound that close near finished. I think we still gotta wait a decent time for it. especially the no npcs in villages yet.[/QUOTE]

NPC mobs wouldn't be hard to create. The textures have probably already been made.

[Takkenrakker]

Goddamnit so it needs to buffer 50 minutes before it plays?
I was away JUST an hour ago...

[Sergeant Turtle]

[QUOTE=ConTron123;31955327]NPC mobs wouldn't be hard to create. The textures have probably already been made.[/QUOTE] Textures are not the difficult part

[Artix3]

[QUOTE=uitham;31955341]Goddamnit so it needs to buffer 50 minutes before it plays?

Didn't take that long for me, maybe eight minutes.

[woidoi]

[QUOTE=ConTron123;31955327]NPC mobs wouldn't be hard to create. The textures have probably already been made.[/QUOTE]

yeah, I was too quick.

Also dat bow.

[QUOTE=Artix3;31955369]Didn't take that long for me, maybe eight minutes.[/QUOTE]
What I meant was the 50 minutes the video contains

[woidoi]

I really hope Jeb is adding the ability to talk to future NPC's, trading would be a bit...odd otherwise I think (dump items in a chest and then run away without talking to anyone?)

[Sukor]

Deep in the earth the fog creeps in close and there are particles floating around in the air. That is just so amazing.

trading? that means gold will actually have a real use now?

[Blueplastic]

Still no silverfishes.
I want silverfishes

Live streams up again.

There were weird sparkles when he hit sheep with his pickaxe

[Sukor]

[QUOTE=RivaGe;31955478]There were weird sparkles when he hit sheep with his pickaxe[/QUOTE]

The sparkles are critical hits apparently.

[4 AM]

Some many retarded people in the chat :suicide:

[woidoi]

ohgod the mineshaft

ohgod I saw cobwebs in it.
