Notch ska skapa Minecraft 2 (Levers and Chests)
Allt började med att Notch la upp ett inlägg på X och frågade vad för spel han ska göra näst. Och alternativet Minecraft 2 vann.
Honest and legitimate request for feedback for once:

The new game I'm passionately working on is currently set to be a traditional roguelike (i.e. ADOM, nethack, etc) mixed with a tile based first person dungeon crawler (ie Legend of Grimrock (esp 2), Eye of the Beholder)
But…
Därefter klargjorde han att han verkligen ska skapa Minecraft 2. Typ. Då han sålde rättigheterna till Microsoft så kan han så klar inte kalla det för Minecraft 2. Så det kommer helt enkelt att bli en spirituell efterträdare med ett annat namn.
I basically announced minecraft 2.

I thought that maybe people ACTUALLY do want me to make another game that's super similar to the first one, and I'm loving working on games again.
I don't super duper care exactly which game I make first (or even if I make more), but I do know…
Den 7:e januari meddelade han att spelet ska heta "Levers and Chests".
Talked to the fellas at the office. Looks like we're making Levers and Chests!

Tipping point was PC Gamer saying it seemed interesting, lol. Yeah I still love PC Gamer.
Det var Owen som hade kommit på namnet. Owen jobbade förr hos PCGamer.
Oh and Owen reminded me he suggested the name Levers and Chests back the in day, and I totally believe him. I am not as clever with words as he.

He used to write for PC Gamer!
Thanks, Owen! Thowen!
Jag hoppas att ni är lika exalterade som jag är att få se Minecraft 2!

None of the names, categories, icons, numbers, or flavor texts are final, but it's working and updating the attribute list.

Even threw in a little color coding for you pic.twitter.com/0X4y8GEEGi
It's all very debuggy and early, but maybe you'd enjoy some gbuffers? Those are the internal textures generated to assemble the final image.

Ignore the lower left one, it's a floating point distance buffer, clamped to the near range. It actually extends much further. pic.twitter.com/AkT8BiFsrQ
