Fearless News Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 David & Toby cover this week's exciting goings-on, including Notch's BAFTA award, a new Minecraft companion app (definitely worth checking out), the MCX360 release, and a look at some of the outstanding features of the recent 1.2.4 update - take a look! ________ Notch to Make Space Game? Notch recently commented on wanting to develop a "Firefly-like" space-faring game. Citing the classic "Elite" game as his inspiration, he is considering doing a game very much like it, "except done right." Notch said: "I want to run around on my ship and have to put out a fire. Like, oh crap, the cooling system failed." He would like to begin development on the title slowly and solo, much as he did with Minecraft in its early days - then, if it got big enough, would begin development in earnest, as well as making the game available for early purchase, similar to Minecraft's Alpha days. Development hasn't actually begun on the concept title; however, since handing the reins of Minecraft to Jens "Jeb" Bergensten, Notch has begun exploring his options for creating new games. If Notch began work on a space-faring sci-fi title where you could interact with your ship on a more personal level, would you play it?
