Err wrong "These guys have been working on a game similar to 0x10c. I was not aware of them. Play both? :D http://www.elliptic-games.com/index.shtml" Lies. >Sees Infiniminer >>Makes Minecraft >Sees Rodina >>Makes 0x10c --- End quote --- According to the FAQ of Rodina. --- Quote from: FAQ of Rodina ---Are you aware that Notch is already making a very similar game? Ugh, yes. Imagine my surprise when, after years of thinking about this game and months of working on it, after investing money and time, the most famous independent developer alive announces that his next game sounds very similar to mine. I still feel sick thinking about that moment. It got worse. It turned out that many of the features I thought would differentiate my game (ship interiors, seamless planet landings, emulated computers for hacking and programming) are features that Notch is also putting into his game. In particular, the fact that he was including simulated computers was very difficult to read. I had hoped that the ability to hack and reprogram the computers in Rodina would make it truly unique. I knew after that moment that my game wasn't going to be innovative, as I'd hoped, but rather it was going to be derivative. Great minds think alike, eh? The good news is- competition can be a good thing. Now I have to work that much harder to make my game the best it can be. Notch's game looks great so far, and it looks pretty different from Rodina, though I'm trying to avoid following his progress too closely. Additionally, since learning about Rodina Notch has been extremely gracious about acknowledging the game. I'm sure that the games will each have their own approaches, and as we all know, implementation is everything. Either way, fans of the genre can only benefit from more games being made! I know I'm looking forward to playing Notch's game! --- End quote --- |
