Just heared about this new game that has been anounced by Notch (Of minecraft fame)
It looks like a really good concept.

http://0x10c.com/

What does everyone else think?

Looks rather neat, but I wonder how exactly it'll play out before really committing.

Looks interesting. All that comes up from his Twitter feed through the MC launcher I use is about it.

@notch So what's the density of the floppies in 0x10c? Because we had 1.44MB floppies in 1987...

@_Scraps_ Aiming at 1.44MB 3½inch

It says it has a subscription fee so feth that.

Fix'd your fix.

Actually it has singleplayer without subscription, though I'll be subscribing and playing online. Its a persistent multiverse after all, and accurate physics....wow...Sounds awesome.

Accurite physics?

I don't want to know what happens when you venture near a black hole, then...

Fixed that for you

It sounds though like a sim of a space ship with 80s technology trying to survive in the far far future.

The Fax Machine noises as sonic weaponry?

This happens.



Then you die before you find out what happens.

Of course, each attack lasts for 3 days.

P2P? Feth that

I only pay for xbox live because I can play tons of games on it for one fee

I will play the free one, and the multiplayer isf it is a onetime payment, but I can't afford to pay monthly.

I'd like to see them do either a one time payment to pay for the servers or a payed for multiplayer with more content than the free multiplayer.

I'd really just rather the MC model.

Wonder if he'll actually finish this one

That would be best of all.

If enough people think like that, maybe he will do it that way. I certainly hope so.



EDIT: For now, it seems we are out of luck. From his FAQ:

Notch wrote:
What will be the price?

No price decided yet. But there will certainly be a monthly fee for playing on the multiverse since even when you will not be connected trajectory and your ship's computer will still be simulated.


Whaaaaaaaat ? Monthly fee ? But, but, but, free 2 play is the futur dude !

f2p is a scam.

And accurate realism in the size of space! Have fun spending 8 IRL years getting to the edges of the solar system!

But they've perfected deep sleep, and presumably at least near light speed travel.

So while it will take you 8 years to reach the edge of the solar system, that might only be 10 minutes subjective time. Of course, 16 years would pass on Earth in the time you travel to Pluto and back... It certainly would make tech upgrades easy.

If you read his "hard science" link, you'd notice that he has FTL travel listed as one of the exceptions.

I put in the "" smiley to indicate it was a joke, people. I'd be absolutely gobsmacked if he made the game have that much realism, requiring months and years of travel (IRL) to get to different planets.

Dedicated though...

Hmmm, a game by notch, worth a look...

>>Monthly fee

Lolnope. Besides minecraft still has tons of expanding left to do.
