Markus "Notch" Persson unveils 0x10c, a space game still in early development; monthly fee "likely".

Minecraft creator and Mojang cofounder Markus "Notch" Persson has announced he is working on a new game.

Launching the website 0x10c today, Persson's new project will be a space-oriented title. Like Minecraft, Persson expects to release the game early to "let players shape the game as it grows".

The game will be set in a parallel universe where the space travel is de rigueur for corporations and the rich, and the incorrect development of a deep sleep cell has rendered a number of the population asleep for longer than intended. Waking up in the future, the deep sleepers find a universe on the brink of extinction.

"The computer in the game is a fully functioning emulated 16 bit CPU that can be used to control your entire ship, or just to play games on while waiting for a large mining operation to finish," Persson said on the game's site.

"Each ship has a generator capable of producing a fixed wattage, and everything you connect to it drains wattage. A cloaking field, for example, might require almost all the power from the generator, forcing you to turn off all computers and dim all lights in order to successfully cloak."

According to the developer, the game will include space battles against AI and other players, as well as mining, trading, and looting. Additionally, the game will boast an advanced economy system, and single and multiplayer modes connected via the game's multiverse.

At the moment, the cost of the game is still undecided, but Persson says it's likely there will be a monthly fee for joining the game's multiverse due to the team's decision to "emulate all computers and physics even when players aren't logged in."

No release date for the game has yet been given.

I can see this being total ****. A game like Minecraft could have gone either way, he's super lucky it blew up like it did, but not likely it will happen twice. Still, good luck to him.

You'd be amazed how much following he actually gets, granted the next game could go either way. But it will start off with a huge chunk of fans already pure because it's Notch. Then wait for word of mouth to kick in.

Of course it will suck, it's not a carbon copy of modern warfare hence it cannot be good - coming up with new innovative ideas and game play is a complete no-no.

And people wonder why the gaming industry stagnates.

huh? whats that got to do with this game or thread - I never said anything about MW? You do realise there are more and more innovative games than ever nowdays due to the the huge surge in the indy market... the gaming industry is thriving...

wow, does every poster need to put the sarcasm tag after each post for you? I think he just means that the majority of sucessful games (sucessful does NOT equal good here) are just rehashes (ie, MW3) and the new innovative games are a failure ($$ wise).

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
