Minecraft - An Incredible Indie Game
Bamse:
Yes much good to say about Minecraft. I have seen enough of streamed gaming to know game is either a severe addiction or something to avoid at all costs because there are only 24 hours per day.
I am guessing you have heard this podcast with Notch http://www.indiegames.com/blog/2010/09/indiegamescom_podcast_2_minecr.html Where he explain trip to Steam HQ or not explain ;) "They just wanted to get to know me, I think" or something. Yeah yeah. He seems like a nice guy, spend money on making company though he has enough to just fade away and be a rich asshole for some years ;)
Oh, you linked to same podcast - well good intro so no harm in double linking.

My 9 and 12 year olds cannot stop playing this, I had to buy it. :Thmbsup:

It's a cool idea and it's nice to see a "small developer" getting a break :Thmbsup:.
One thing to note, if you have a low end machine the game may not run smoothly even though the graphics are extremely simplistic. My machine runs Half Life 2 and WoW smoothly, but this game chops and pauses for seconds.

Same here. But that's only if I try to run it from the browser. It runs much more smoothly if I download the client and play from the exe. Note that you need to purchase the game to play the downloaded version.
Plus then you can maximize it for near full-screen gameplay. :)
