Author Topic: Another Minecraft Ripoff  (Read 2200 times)

Minecraft didn't invent blocks. There were many games similar to it before it was even created. In fact Minecraft is a rip-off of infiniminer.

I miss playing Infiniminer with Feep

the game honestly looks like crap, the 2d version looks even worse. the 2d version isnt even that similar to minecraft. junk jack came out before the mc app and was far better.

you can't really talk graphics, minecraft looks like a toddler with downs attacked a refrigerator

Really. And this app is by a small group if even, I think its actually just one dude.

ye.

you can't really say that X is a rip-off of Y, because honestly, now a days there's no such thing as an original idea. it's all been thought of or done already. if you go with the misconception that every game with building blocks is a rip off of minecraft, and anything with a gun and 1 hit knife kill is a washed up call of duty, then i mean... well, this is the only thing i can use to describe what you're going to do;



I'm not saying that Minecraft invented voxels or block worlds, but that "8-bit" style looks extremely suspicious, considering the fact that it's not even 8 bit at all!

This guy most definitely has taken some ideas from Minecraft.

Yes we get he was inspired from Minecraft, but who gives a stuff is what were talking about. Youre all happy to complain about him stealing from MC but then people jump to Notchs defense when it comes to the fact he was inspired from Infiniminer, like theres some huge difference.

uh
its just some guys having fun and making a game? its not like every shooting game you call it a cod ripoff or something.
>Minecraft comes out
>Suddenly hundreds of other games just like it come out

Well that's certainly just a coincidence!

I wanted to rewrite Minecraft from the ground up in my own way because it's horrible right now. No surprise.

don't use java please god

voxels oh ye
when i think of voxels, i don't think of a three dimensional grid-based world system. however i do think of squares. i don't know if i've been told wrong but minecraft and it's derivatives aren't voxel based, just block/cube based. voxels are an alternative rendering method, where instead of polygons (like minecraft uses), it draws a bunch of specifically layered points to create the illusion of 3D, like in Ace of Spades.

eh at this point its more a genre than a series of ripoffs
who knows maybe it could be a good game

if it does become a genre, we'll have even MORE "works of inspiration"

which also gives me the excuse to make my own :D
