I saw this and thought that that was a very ambitious launch date. Going up against Skyrim, Battlefield 3 and probably the next Call of Duty. But everyone who has wanted to play minecraft has already bought it. I don't see the official launch raking in any money, not that that matters.
He'll still update it with content after release...right guys?
He might add dragons right? I mean he did mention that.
That plus Skyrim.
[QUOTE=llamaliker;29049818]I hope 'release' means it'll be on steam.[/QUOTE]
I wish. I can't wait to get the game on a sale for a fair price
-snipped for hypocrisy-
Sorry. :smith:
It's not going to be a "competition" with skyrim.
Sure a full release will drive in a few more sales, but most people who want it have already bought it.
It's going to be nothing compared to a completely new game.
Well, at least we'll still have the mods.

Hipsterphobia much?
I hope they give Minecraft its own personal engine. Not fucking Java.

because hipsters are known to do that and notch totally does that all the time :downs:
minecraft is gonna lose a lot of steam by the time it releases, these type of games (imagination, sandbox) only appeal for so long, look at garrys mod, it died out shortly after it was released on steam. minecraft had a good run though.
I'd like to see 32-bit textures to be quite honest. Sounds dear, but higher quality textures bro's. Or maybe 24-bit.
[QUOTE=Glent;29050049]Secondly, a "single line of code"?[/QUOTE]
If you would have read his quote instead of tossing around pointless change logs, you would have realized that he was referring to the beds being delayed a month. The spawn change was delayed a month when it was just a single line of code. That is what his quote said.
I bought Minecraft primarily for all the gamemodes he was going to add like zombie survival. What happened to that? There's no mention of adding new gamemodes to minecraft, and I doubt he's going to make and debug the 5 or so gamemodes he mentioned ages ago by December
Yay, just in time!
I'm getting Minecraft in a couple days. :unsmith:

Oh okay.
I'm sure he's completely right in all points then. Better back the fuck off because this guy knows what he's talking about.

I think he kept pushing the release on those back until now they're planned for sometime after the game is released for real. A friend got me it, and I was so excited to play the zombie survival mode until I actually looked it up.
Well. Good thing I paid for this months ago, cause I'm getting Skyrim. Too.
[QUOTE=Xakota;29056214]He is a millionaire. You are obviously jealous. I think he has done some amazing work. You build a sandbox game single-handedly, start a business and make over 1 million dollars in revenue in less than a year.[/QUOTE]
I disagree. Notch liked Infiniminer so he copied it and kept adding things to it. And that's basically it. He just took a great game and added to it.
He started a business without much other reason than "It'd be fun to have my own company, much more professional", much like Garry did.
I don't see what his income has to do with him as a person.
It's a good thing that the community is adding things to the game. It's a bad thing that the community is 20 000% more efficient than him. And I don't mean that as the community as a whole, but single persons adding to it being 20 000% more efficient than him.

Pretty much everything in his anger/hate filled rant was close to spot on. The only people who can't see that are the people he mentioned in his rant. In-fact, a lot of Facepunch visitors tend to complain about the lack of updates, but as soon as there is mention of an update their whole view of Notch completely changes again.
so much rage in this thread

..But... it's not out yet
[QUOTE=Lust;29049716]"Keep adding features after the release"
Oh you mean like you're just calling it a release so it'll gain a lot more profit on the relatively regular update.
AND OH YOU MEAN LIKE YOU JUST REALIZED CARD GAMES AND FOOTBALL SIMULATORS ARENT SUCH A GOOD IDEA AND WILL MOST LIKELY ANNOUNCE YOU'VE "RECONSIDERED" THEM AFTER YOU "RELEASE" MINECRAFT.
[b]scrolls does look bad[/b]
Also why are all the minecraft fans in the megathread getting excited over him adding weather, weather was ALREADY IN THE GAME, yet they're all like OMG HE'S FINALLY WORKING ON MINECRAFT.
He's fucking NOT, rain and snow were ALREADY IN THE GAME, he's literally just switching a False to a True to reenable them!
[b]kinda true but not with thunder[/b]
Gosh everyone rages at Notch when he releases nothing for 2 months, then when he reveals his 2 months of work is A COOKIE AND A BED everyone starts sucking his dick.
[b]true[/b]
Will you all learn that Notch is a really, REALLY, REALLY lazy worker and a bad coder who doesn't deserve the fame he has.
[b]i agree- he needs to realize adding more things to a buggy game makes it buggier[/b]
RAIN AND SNOW HAVE BEEN IN THE GAME SINCE INDEV, HE'S NOT WORKING, HE'S LYING TO YOU.
[b]iirc rain wasn't dynamic or whatever you'd call it, but yes snow was[/b]
And why is EVERY SINGLE MINECRAFT UPDATE GETTING A THREAD! There was a thread for the BED UPDATE, THREE MONTHS OF WORK ON A SINGLE BED MODEL THAT HE DIDNT MAKE, DIDN'T WORK PROPERLY ON RELEASE, AND CAME WITH A HOST OF NEW BUGS AND PERFORMANCE ISSUES, HE DIDN'T EVEN COMPLETELY ADD THE BED, THE SPAWN CHANGING FEATURE HE PROMISED WAS POSTPONED FOR A MONTH, A MONTH TO ADD A SINGLE LINE OF CODE, AND THEN EVEN THAT IS NOW COMPLETELY BUSTED AND FUCKED UP.
[b]yeah rps needs to calm down on the !!MINECRAFT UPDATE OMG!! post like they're revolutionary features being added[/b]
I CAN'T BELIEVE EVERYONE HAS BOUGHT INTO HIS WHOLE "BETA" "RELEASE" BULLCRAP, HE DOESN'T EVER TRULY UPGRADE MINECRAFT FROM ALPHA TO BETA, OR BETA TO RELEASE, HE JUST CHANGES THE TITLE FOR A NEW WAVE OF BUYERS, ALONG WITH REMOVING FEATURES FOR NEW PURCHASERS WITH THE RELEASE, TO MAKE SURE HE CAN GET MORE MONEY FROM THEM FOR FUTURE EXPANSIONS.
[b]this is true- upping the price was also a load of shit[/b]
A YEAR AGO THE SECRET FRIDAY UPDATES HAD MORE CONTENT THAN THE FRICKEN BETA UPDATE, BUT CAME WITH LIKE 200 LESS BUGS AND PERFORMANCE ISSUES, AND DIDNT FORCE NEW PURCHASERS TO PAY MORE, NOTCH IS A MONEY GRABBING LAZY FUCK WHO'S BRAIN HAS BEEN LOST IN A TIDAL WAVE OF MONEY AND PORN AND BOOZE AND HOOKERS AND NO DENTAL WORK BECAUSE HIS FRONT 2 TEETH REALLY SUCK.
[b]true, they did have more content thinking of it[/b]
AND I DONT EVEN LIKE HIS FUCKING HAT.
[b]its okay[/b]
:(
AND DONT FUCKING USE THE WOLVES AS AN EXAMPLE FOR HIM WORKING, MODDERS HAD ALREADY DONE THE EQUIVALENT MONTHS BEFORE HE DID, AND THEY DID IT A HELL OF A LOT BETTER, THE WOLF MODEL? ITS LIKE 3 FUCKING BLOCKS, WITH A 16 BIT TEXTURE.
I COULD HAVE MADE THE FUCKING WOLF UPDATE MYSELF WITH 10 MINUTES OF FUCKING AROUND IN MS PAINT AND BLENDER WITH NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE, THEN TOOK SOME MODDERS CODE (LIKE NOTCH FUCKING DOES, AND DONT DENY IT, THE ENTIRE CRUX OF ONE OF HIS LARGEST UPDATES WAS TAKING 2 MODS AND CLAIMING CREDIT FOR THEM) AND SHOVED IT IN, AND I STILL WOULDN'T HAVE PUT IN AS MANY BUGS AS NOTCH DID, WITH AN ENTIRE COMPANY WORKING UNDER HIM AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND AFTER LIKE 3 MONTHS OF WORK.
[b]this i agree with. the wolves along with other mobs have been accomplished by modders before. the other fact is that jeb_ worked on the wolves iirc, not notch[/b][/QUOTE]
Notch needs to stop being so ambitious and halt all production on his other game. He's already got a semi-complete game and should be focusing on completing Minecraft since it's making him so much money (among other reasons - it wouldn't hurt to maybe give back to the community that made him famous and fix some of the obvious, annoying bugs in his game).
He needs to really re-examine some of his code and stop adding new features until he's fixed some of the huge bugs (ie. the "beta holes", biome glitches, etc.). It's all about prioritizing and since Minecraft has reached beta stage and is still a buggy mess he might as well prioritize fixing all the big bugs before he does anything else.
Literally nothing about Minecraft has changed since it leaped from Alpha to Beta (some might argue it became even buggier).
[QUOTE=MerzBro;29076965]Literally nothing about Minecraft has changed since it leaped from Alpha to Beta (some might argue it became even buggier).[/QUOTE]
You cant even call it either, it's just a stupid reason to increase the price of the product.

really though, minecraft is boring and notch is incompetent.
[QUOTE=clanratc;29049981]Why are you mad about blocks?[/QUOTE]
Because those blocks are a multi-million dollar company in which every aspie sucks the CEO's dick.
Holy fuck you're all acting like children. If you don't think that Notch is working hard enough or he's lying to you, think that, but don't come crying about something that's been said 20 times before. Updated slowly or not, Minecraft is a pretty fucking good game. Sure it's not the most original, but it's good at what it's trying to achieve, and that's all that matters. If you're gonna complain about some guy delaying a "single line of code", maybe you should go out and get some fresh air.

But now seriously, I'm pretty sure we all knew Notch was a lazy fucker when he started taking those 2 week vacations every month just after he started selling Minecraft.
