For an unfair coin, turn it into a fair coin by spoiler.

With a fair coin, spoiler, assign the three possible outcomes to the meals.

Well, fair enough then!

Oh, you sure got me there, because we got paid billions of dollars for putting those ads on the cows in the pc gamer exclusive demo of the game!

As a bearded overweight bald guy who spent most of his 20's programming and playing role playing games, the implication of weeks being a long time makes me sad.

But I had a magic invisible wall keeping the commoners at bay.

I meant fans. Typo.

I'm intentionally trying to be vague because of lessons learned with Minecraft, and because of posts like this one. If I say something, it's taken as gospel¹ , but it's very difficult to commit to anything this early in the game without even knowing which bits are fun to play with. The semi-random stuff you have is pretty much all of my more solid ideas. I'm keeping some bits secret, as I think it would be fun to surprise people, too.

I am not trying to make EVE. EVE already exists, and does what it does very very well, however.. it will most definitely have a player driven economy, and to make a huge space ship or station you will need a lot of resources. Those resources come from mining.

In singleplayer, you can just cheat to get those resources, but in the multiverse, not so much.

As to other claims of having proof of what the game will be like, the only thing I can say is that even I don't know yet. I've got a few core concepts I want to try out (immersion within the spaceship, lonely dying universe, 80's level technology), and then I'll see what kind of game fits around it.

Are you being punished for not using bandwidth if you pay a flat fee?

I much prefer to have subscriptions that I pay a flat monthly fee for, than one where I pay per thing I use. Paying per minute of watched TV would suck, as would paying per GB of used bandwidth.

Sure, why not.

It's outdated and will be replaced soon. It's part of an old ARG. Deleting those files now.

I don't have a plan for these, but they are the first 99 0x10c accounts available, after me and mollstam got ours. I don't know if they will just be for getting into the alpha, or if we'll do something special and neat with them.

There's no game available anywhere yet.

To redeem them, register for a mojang account, then go to https://account.mojang.com/redeem and enter one of the codes.

Please do NOT register names you think we want to use, or you might lose your account.

Gah! No! I absolutely HATE games that do that. It punishes the player economically for relaxing in the game.

While I commend your attempts at stomping out racism, I think you're wrong here.

I believe the funny thing about the video is a guy freaking out over some bootleg fireworks malfunctioning, then switching to declaring how awesome it was, then switching back into Oh Jesus mode when he notices the lawn is on fire (which is a great reveal).

The fact that someone added literal subtitles and a Jesus counter just makes it all so much better.

I had no idea what the ethnicity of the guy filming was, other than I assumed he was American from the setting and the mention of "bootleg fireworks". When he suddenly started using the n-word after seeing the lawn fire, it was a humorous shock, and only after that did I even consider the skin color of the man. The only reason I even did that at all was that I've learned that it's not socially acceptable for any other groups of people in America to use that word casually.

It's possible I might be the only one who had this reaction to the video, and everyone else just went "haha, other cultures are so silly" immediately upon starting to watch the video, but I kind of doubt it.

Yes, it's jenga.

About private multiplayer.. I have a plan. It's probably not what you think it is. I think it might be fun.

I want food to be a thing in the game simply because mess halls are awesome in space. Can you think of a single space movie that doesn't feature the people eating while slowly floating through space?

But eating, as a game mechanic, doesn't really fit the game I'm going for here. Not quite sure how to pull it off.

Oxygen will magically last forever (magnets, or something) unless there's a hull breach.

Networking two computers is definitely possible. The "no hotswapping" thing is actually a game design thing that spilled over into cpu design. I want frantically rebooting your computer in a firefight to be a thing. Just imagine how valuable fast boot ups could become..

Heeey, I work with the guy who drew that!

He's quite talented.

Yeah, I watched a video of that, and I was obviously subconsciously inspired by it. And the LOST logo as well, a bit.
