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.

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).

      I am not a US citizen nor a Trump fan. Respect to both left and right. But I will, for the sake of fun, predict something for my own. There will come a day when the US and China will collide like titans ( over Taiwan or anything else ). Then, on that day, some people in this comment section will realize how good an idea it was to become independent in areas like that. ( Or atleast try )
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.
