Minecraft!

I was perusing the Xbox indie channel before and found a game called Fortresscraft which is basically a ripoff of this.

I've only tried the trial up to yet but it seems pretty good for 240 points.

Oooh, avatar support too? Adding to the download queue now.

Yea I keep meaning to download the trial to Fortresscraft. Game got a lot of shit because of how blatant a clone it was. Then it got a lot of shit because it's split up into episodes. Though at the time Notch had no intention of making a console version and we all know how that ended.

Most of the basics of the game engine is in place, so it’s time to flesh this game out into something more gamey. More content, more exploration, more things to do, and interesting combat! Once this update is out, there will only some tweaks, optimizations and code cleanups left to the core game before we can call it a full release.
We’ve got a list of some 40+ things we want to add to the game, some small, some big. Some huge. We’ve finished a fair number of the items, but there’s still a significant amount of work left. While I can’t reveal the date yet for various reasons, we do have a release date for the Adventure Update in mind, and we’re hoping we’ll be able to hit it.
Jens and I are keeping the exact contents of the update secret, but we do leak some information every now and then to keep people interested and to stop us from going insane. For the most immediate spoilers, you can follow us on Twitter (@notch and @jeb_), or on Google+ (+Markus Persson and +Jens Bergensten).
Here are a few of the things we’ve revealed so far:

• NPC villages
• Randomly generated dungeons
• New biome code
• Fully working Creative Mode (and individual admins can enter Creative Mode on a Survival Mode server if they choose)
• Critical hits
• Sprinting
• More farming options

As soon as I can reveal the release date we’re aiming for, I will!
Oh, and the modding support is happening, honest.

This will be what gets me into Minecraft.

My Creations on my private server

I have so many worlds on MC, it's ridiculous. I think it's something to do with my past obsession with construction games such as RCT, but I just can't stop "building" in a world. Nothing spectacular, just functional.
I've built a 5 story fully decorated and carpeted house, cliff-side shacks, underwater biodomes, massive cave networks with function specific rooms, and a hella lot more.
Plus I always play SP only, so I really have to work to make this stuff.
I'll see about grabbing some images, but it's mostly on my main computer which I won't have access to for a while.

Wait so... what is this? A new MineCraft?

[Reknoc]

No it's the update that turns Minecraft into a game.
