Minecraft

[Hymn]

So this is pretty much the coolest indie game you'll ever see. It's one dude doing all the programming to make this awe-inspiring sandbox game. The world is made of blocks, the monsters are made of blocks and so are you, it's practically lego-land. You can destroy blocks to obtain materials and while you start the game with nothing but the clothes on your back within a short time you'll have mining picks, armor and swords to hunt for food, materials and defend against scary monsters like zombies, skeletons and spiders.

When night falls in the game, the bad things come out to hunt, the same goes for venturing anywhere that's dark. You'll have to find a place to build shelter, a little spot to call home in the *gigantic* randomly generated world you are placed into.

Explaining it all would be pretty hard so I'll just finish with a link to the game and a tutorial video for surviving the first night. The game costs approx. 14 dollars, and by downloading the server.exe you can host multiplayer games for friends, a static server is an ever-evolving world.

Crazy.  Wonder how long it took to make that.  You totally have to one up that, Perin.  Go with a Borg cube in my opinion.

Good god. Reminds me of those old TeamTNT WAD's for Doom that had basically 100% new art, levels, and sound. Only worse.

We're pretty much just building a town/fortress/maze of a mine in our multiplayer.  Same hamachi info as the Diablo thread, connect to me, I'm running the server.

Here is what the Mario Project looks like so far, we'll be needing a fuck ton more mats to finish it haha - most of it is sand and dirt so we're cool, though the brick is a bitch.

[Amyliz]

goddamn, i logged on and saw that and /boggled.  I'll farm you up some brick tonight

[Amyliz]

Left you a bunch of brick in the carpenter chest

[Hymn]

I've got a bit o' pirate in me today and in the spirit I've decided to bury a chest full of gold bars in the ground on our server. First one to find it can claim it.



The chest is hidden within sight of one of the many torch-towers, directly beneath a tree, underneath a torch. This shouldn't be TOO hard to find. I'm sure I'll do this again with something a bit rarer in a much harder to find location, so keep checking back!
