Lords of Uberdark

Notch tweeted about this, and it looks like a Minecraft clone, but prettier. Might become something good?

Wow that looks pretty damn sweet. Beats cubes for me, at least.

I'm suspecting it will be clunky and frustrating to navigate with "smooth" geometry as opposed to cubes.

Minecraft ftw.

It is evolutionary at best, and derivative at worst. Oh yeah so is 99.9999999% of everything else.

That said, sure...go for it. I love Minecraft despite getting over my addiction to it and I'd be happy to see where this or similar projects progress.

Reminds me of geo-mod in Red Faction circa 2002-ish. Only more cartoon and less Mars...and stuff...

Looks bad imo I like the cubes and the feeling of working on a grid.

There is tremendous power in the minecraft grid. It brings a sense of order and logic into the otherwise randomly generated world. You can quickly calculate/estimate distance and dimension that you could not do (as easily) in a non grid world. It brings out everyone's inner coder and there is something so satisfying about using your brain in logical ways that Minecraft offers...all due to the grid.
