What developers can learn from Notch

Button Combo writes: "Developers. The magicians who are able to construct entire realms and worlds to explore for vast amounts of hours. These worlds manage to suck away hours and hours and allow us to be apart of a world where everything is a possibility.

With such a great weight of responsibility on their shoulders, developers truly hold the key to the next best selling game with the click of the mouse and the keystrokes on the keyboard. However, as creativity tends to go, once the initial excitement and wonder is gone, money is the only goal at the end of the tunnel. While not an immoral or wrong objective, this tends to get in the way of creating an environment which can captive creativity and expand it beyond means..."

I love Notch and I don't even play Minecraft.

What a guy.

Jio4624d ago

I wish everyone settled lawsuits with video game matches

saladthieves4624d ago

Yes, I wish that too, but some companies, namely Apple, would think it's unfair to do such a thing.

Quagmire4623d ago

I wish wars were fought online instead of on the battlefield with real bullets.

SactoGamer4624d ago

I can't stand either, though I prefer Notch to the Angry Birds guy.

vglulz4624d ago

Why can't you stand them? I'm not looking for an argument, just intrigued.

Jio4623d ago

Arrogance? Explain how they are arrogant please

GoldenPheasant4624d ago

Notch, ma boy! Hey buddy, did you know I'm buying Skyrim used because of you...High Five!

JellyJelly4623d ago

Notch by a mile. The Super Duper Graphics Pack was a joke to promote the launch of Xbox One X.

The bedrock edition is a mess and the Switch version has issues. The game has gone nowhere. We should’ve had Minecraft 2 by now.

Mystogan1898d ago (Edited 1898d ago )

Bullshit. The game has made great strides thanks to Microsoft. Especially in the education segment. Sure there are some things that you can nitpick like the Graphics Pack being delayed. But besides that I can't see the game being better than it is now if they never sold to Microsoft.

Also Minecraft 2 is never gonna happen. There is no point.
