• Notch's New Game is Called "Mars Effect"
    106 replies, posted
Notch isn't exactly known for making games with good endings.
[QUOTE=ironman17;35374240]I wonder if EA's gonna try to get up in arms about the naming, since it sounds similar to one of the IPs they've wrapped their greasy tentacles around. Nonetheless it's cool to see that Notch is making a space sim.[/QUOTE] Their legal department is probably freaking out, and will for another day or so, until he announces he's joking.

Reading more about the actual game, I really want to play it now.
[QUOTE=Capitulazyguy;35374303]Knowing Notch, by the time the game comes out of Alpha we'll actually be on Mars[/QUOTE] Or knowing Notch he will work on this and sell millions only to have shitheads complain that it doesn't get new content added every week even tho it's a completed game.
[QUOTE=cNova;35374253]© April 1 2012 Mojang[/QUOTE] Yeah, look at the very bottom of the page, it says that.
[QUOTE=Pepsi-cola;35374352]Or knowing Notch he will work on this and sell millions only to have shitheads complain that it doesn't get new content added every week even tho it's a completed game.[/QUOTE] lol
Can he get sued for using a similar logo to the mass effect one like in the OP?
[QUOTE=alexojm;35374332]Unless he already informed them.[/QUOTE] Considering he tweeted [URL="https://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/186159706539163648"]this[/URL] to someone who works at Bioware, I assume they're in on it.
[QUOTE=Pepsi-cola;35374352]Or knowing Notch he will work on this and sell millions only to have shitheads complain that it doesn't get new content added every week even tho it's a completed game.[/QUOTE] This is a joke, right?
The fact that the logo looks so similar this kinda has to be a joke but probably only the name and logo.
[QUOTE=xianlee;35374381]Can he get sued for using a similar logo to the mass effect one like in the OP?[/QUOTE] No because it's fake?
[QUOTE=ketchup v2;35374402]This is a joke, right?[/QUOTE] Tell us why Minecraft isn't a complete game and what it is missing to make it one?
I would buy into alpha the second I could. I really hope this game is real or at least the idea.
Ohoho Notch you so funny!
Block effect
Notch looks the result of the Mars effect. Eating too many mars bars.

[QUOTE=Pepsi-cola;35374352]Or knowing Notch he will work on this and sell millions only to have shitheads complain that it doesn't get new content added every week even tho it's a completed game.[/QUOTE] lmfao
Will still have a better ending than ME3.
[QUOTE=Kondor58;35374146]kind of an unnecessary jab at ea, he's directly taking the piss out of them and "a game ending that makes sense" is kind of a low blow coming from a games developer to another[/QUOTE] That could be a blow at minecraft, as that ending didn't make sense.
[QUOTE=alexojm;35374471]I would buy into alpha the second I could. I really hope this game is real or at least the idea.[/QUOTE] He is making a Space Game I believe.
[QUOTE=J!NX;35374285]Don't care what anyone says, Notch is still awesome[/QUOTE] roflmao
[QUOTE=ketchup v2;35374238]Copyrights don't just come down to the use of a word. You can sue for likeness.[/QUOTE] Looks like someone's living on...the [i]Edge™[/i]. :v:
Can't tell if it's a joke or not, he's been tweeting about creating this emulator for a week or so now.
was hoping for a cool lil mini game notch makes, instead got a poorly executed april fools joke
[QUOTE=Sickle;35374610]I'm glad to see that the general population doesn't learn from their stupid mistakes. Makes ripping people like you off a breeze.[/QUOTE] Buying minecraft during alpha is a stupid mistake? You might hate it, but there are plenty of people (including me) who bought minecraft early and genuinely enjoy it still. I hope only the name is the joke, not the whole thing.
For those of you who are too lazy to read Notch's tweets last week, the space game concept is real. The name and websites are of course a joke but Notch has been tweeting a lot about the computer system he designed as well as a few screenshots and ideas about the game.
