Morning Discussion
Hey, Cod Blops is coming out at midnight! Is your jam pumped up? If you won't be rushing to your nearest GameStop® after work to camp out and pick up your pre-ordered Prestige Edition, you haven't been paying enough attention to the marketing campaign.

Whats the deal with the waterpark on MercFox1's server? Is it open? Can we see it? Anymore sweet videos?
-
It's 99% done, so yeah, go for your life. Should be a canal to the south of spawn that will take you there.
Regarding the sweet videos, there will likely be a slight pause in construction/filming due to http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=24441633 . Get well soon eonix :(-

Unless they're getting it from mods (I won't give TNT out, but I don't know about the rest) then yes, it is almost certainly all duped.

Notch:Yes! When people tell me to fix SMP, I don't. :D I'm not sure I've thought it through.
BEST DEV EVER-
-
He's still learning PR and to not be a troll :P He's just poking the hornet's nest for fun.
He said on his blog that there should be another round of SMP bugfixes this week.-
-
I noticed that we have music in SMP now, which is nice :) I like the new songs added in the Boo update.
-
huh we do? I haven't heard any music
-
-
So is he back to doing weekly updates, at least for bug fixes then?
-
Nah I wouldn't count on that. But he released one last week, and said he'll probably do one this week too
-
-
-
it's funny to us who don't feel they've are entitled to Notch working 24/7 to keep people happy.
-
-
ah, that was you. well don't take his tweets so seriously. :)

Mostly this, he hasn't figured out that there are now higher expectations now thats its fo' real
-
-
Exactly. He seems to have realized now that fixed SMP is what people want and thus he has started working on it. Which is good.
-
I forgot to add that he is of course making his work fun by doing side projects such as this. But this kind of pertains to SMP... so.. yeah..
-
-
-
[deleted]
-
Yes, he does. Any company which has sold a product has obligations to their consumers.
-
-
-
[deleted]
-
[deleted]
-
He is fulfilling his obligations. I never said he wasn't I just said that he did have obligations and that he hasn't figured out yet that people view this game as commercial now. And thus expect more from Notch, which he hasn't been doing more than usual and this makes people mad.
I do think he should get more people to help him so he can speed up the bug fixing progress and focus on SMP, all of which he is now doing.-
[deleted]
-
Because he has set obligations on himself.
"I plan on developing Minecraft until it's a finished complete game, with a downloadable client (with fullscreen mode), custom key re mappings and possibly modding support.
For as long as people enjoy and purchase the game, I will develop extensions after the game is done. These will be free for anyone who has purchased the game."
I really don't get what your going on about. I think Notch is doing a great job, he just needs more help and better focus, which he is trying to accomplish. All forms of entertainment have obligations tacked onto them, so do all businesses. -
I think he definitely has obligations to deliver a complete game that is not an alpha or beta, and to deliver that within a reasonable time-frame (how long has it been in development for? If he's not done within half a year to a year I could understand people being pissed), but the details of how that happens week to week certainly isn't the business of people who aren't developing the game.
-
-
oh, yeah you should've posted the whole thing "Although we are very passionate about this project, we cannot guarantee that it will be completed - that's why we offer the discounted price
When you purchase the game, you pay for it as it is right now. Future updates are an added bonus."
I dunno I find that to be kind of dishonest and inconsistent. You can't advertise the discount while at the same time put the full version of the game into question. I mean if there isn't really a full version of the game, then it isn't a discount then is it? It's just the regular price of the game.
oh well forget it, I'm sure people have argued about this ad-nauseum in MC threads already. I don't really have a problem with it either way since I've gotten my money's worth, though it would blow if there wasn't a completed version of MC.-
-
Which is why this is such a crazy awesome story. Notch is a really cool guy, and he 'gets' a lot. I fully expect him to continue development of Minecraft to it's conclusion as a full game (with who knows how many features and mobs and other stuff), especially since it has exploded in popularity.
TL;DR: Notch cares more about Minecraft than anyone else, so don't worry so much about development time. Some people in these threads have been around Minecraft for a while.

You know what? Try to troll harder.

It's a nice feature and honestly... it probably doesn't take a ton of time. He's probably getting this in place for a near-future update. He has a pixel artist now (soon) who is probably already working on a new texture set (or tow) and we are going to need a way to be able to switch textures from within the game itself.
-
-
http://twitter.com/#!/jnkboy/status/29563434829
Maybe later, but I think custom skin packs will probably have it covered for a while if people don't like the normal look.

how's that? i always thought he wasn't going to do anything to add higher res textures?
-
-
oh, so i'm guessing there's no change from before then? > 16x16 works but it has bugs that make some blocks look terrible
-
I don't know, his post is kinda self contradictory. He says he will support it, but without any guarantee that it won't be buggy.
-
my guess would be that he simply omitted checking the size of the textures before loading them, so it's supported in that it'll load the textures, but there's no guarantee that it won't be buggy in that he won't be changing anything of how the textures are actually used

I personally view this as just as important as SMP fixes. Good work Notch, now fix my multiplayer :)

It'll be nice not having to re-patch every time Notch updates, this is nice stuff.

oohh nice! That will make things soo much easier for switching skins.

O_O...I just posted a thread about my son being addicted and I've said the same thing. That was before I read this comic....creepy.

You know, really though, it's better than TV. At least they are using their brains and building things. But still, to see my son zone out in front of a PC for so long scares the shit out of me...but obviously I can't talk. But then, I was 12 or 14 when my addiction started.

The outer hull of the ship is finished along with the main bridge and saucer observation deck.
I have plans to finish the interior of the shuttle bay, arboretum, deflector dish and a easier way to get inside the ship rather than the obvious sand ladder that is currently in place.
Thanks to everyone who helped donate materials to finish this beast. -
