Morning Discussion
Strategy games, however, are something I've dabbled in from time to time, and do enjoy, but never really put the time into properly understanding. It's the constant multi-tasking and need for a long-term plan that get to me. I make stuff and send units places and see what happens. From the shallow waters of Command & Conquer to Civilization and into the deep, deep depths of terrifying historical grand strategy games, I mess about a bit and bungle through from minute to minute. While this is fun, it's rarely truly satisfying.
I would like to change this but it'll take so much time. So very much time. With no guarantee of success. And I have so very much other things I am, or should be, doing. Perhaps I'll try in a few decades, when my cybernetics are crippled by a nanobot attack and I'm left a wizened, housebound old crone.

I don't know if you've read the Postmortem article in the latest issue of GDMag, but it's about the alpha version of Minecraft. Notch mentions something about having a "final" version of the game in the near future so they can finally stop calling it a beta, but gives no concrete details as to what that will be. (He also says that content will still be added to the game after this version, it just won't feel like the game proper is under development anymore.) I'm assuming in this final version will have some sort of optional mission structure or objective system, but that might just be wishful thinking. They're working on another project concurrently at Mojang, so who even knows how far off any of this is.
I'm happy with Minecraft the way it is, but it'd be nice to see something for players looking for a more complete experience.-
It's stupid, he's rushing through the development 'tags' because he somehow feels like they're holding him back or something. I feel like he's missing the point by a mile -- people are fine if you call something a beta for years (see Gmail) as long as it feels like it's moving forwards. We haven't seen much in the way of new content for almost 4 months now.
