The internet in general is a large place, but the subset who hangs around indie games like this, and minecraft (to an extent) is pretty small.

[GOOMH]

I do but I currently am NOT upgrading to 1.8 until some bugs are iron out in land generation.

P.S. What LPers do you guys watch if you watch any.

yep. I guess there are some dwarf fortresser here, hanging around.

[matty406]

Dwarf Fortresser here.

[Darrknox]

Minecrafter reporting in. I'm a trial mod over at super-earth.net :3

[CarolRawley]

I'd love to get Minecraft...

But it's not worth paying money for something that is not an original game idea.

[Guest LoSboccacc]

quite weak argument. like not purchasing anything after wolfestain 3d. or ultima. or star control (or was it spacewar?)

it's a reused idea, sure, but quite beautifully executed.

[CarolRawley]

i could download any one of 50 other games like minecraft that are better and around before it.

Really? Such as...?

Nihil novum sub sole, my friend. Even KSP itself has been repeatedly described here on the forums by its players as 'the Spore spaceship maker done right'.

[CarolRawley]

Since we've switched to Latin...

Bene est verum. Minecraft terribilis sit amet. Et si esset aliquid simile KSP Spore ergo nullus esset KSP egestas. Suus verus.

[Sordid]

You still haven't told me of any games like Minecraft but older and better.

[CarolRawley]

Just search 'Minecraft Inspiration Games.'

[Sordid]

No names? Well I guess you were just flapping your gums, then. Oh well.

[Baldr]

Here we go again. So yeah what do both of those game have income at this point?

[GOOMH]

The only game that I know of that came before Minecraft that is remotely like it was Infiniminer but by the time Notch released Minecraft it was a dead project and the source code was released public. Notch does admit drawing inspiration from it but he vastly improved on the idea. There has been many Minecraft clones though like Fortress craft for the 360.

Which is why I'm very keen for CR to give me the names of these supposed dozens of block-based games that are older and better than Minecraft. I know about Infiniminer of course, but that's just one game and come on!

...is supposed to be better than...

Give me a break.

Anyway, moving away from this sordid business and on to something hopefully a bit more agreeable, how are you finding the 1.8 update? Personally I've noticed a strange tendency for the map generator to either put me onto tiny treeless islands in the middle of the ocean or right next to sheer cliff faces and humongous rock arches. It seems it's almost impossible to generate a 'normal' map anymore.

[GOOMH]

I haven't uninstall my mods yet but I have tested 1.8 and it's buggy as hell and FPS for me even on short is like 15 compared to have 30+ in normal in 1.7.3. I guess I can upgrade tonight though.

[Sordid]

Really? I haven't noticed any drop in performance. Annoying lag spikes every few seconds are still there, but that's nothing new.
