Notch Recreates Minecraft In 2D Adventure Form

[Mave]

Minecraft creator Markus “Notch” Persson took part in the 22nd Ludum Dare last week. It’s a competition in which contestants are charged with the task of creating a playable game in under 48 hours. What did he build? Minicraft. It’s Minecraft – in 2D, top-down form.

Saw the live stream, or at least heard a lot of it.

And, played until I died.

I watched 90% of his 2-day stream
Only missed about 30 minutes on the first day and 10 on the second. Other than that I literally watched the ENTIRE weekend. I always had it up

It was super interesting. I love watching him code

Notch is crazy. He's the God of coding. It's as simple as that.

Pretty awesome game for being created in less than 48hrs. Would love a save feature though

Nooononono, far from it. But he is very good, and he's more interesting than most programmers
