Infdev* is looking quite nice now, with infinite** maps and fancy generated terrain. It's got all the indev survival mode stuff in now apart from the monsters, and there should be better caves although I've not seen any yet.

*The live work in progress, as opposed to Indev which is the latest stable development version
**Not quite infinite actually, but can generate enough terrain for an area something like three times the size of the earth

Also, this came from Notch's blog;

Notch wrote:I bought Settlers 7. It’s a wonderful game, and Blue Byte really managed to pull it off. It’s full of subtle choices and a fun meta game with trading and research that feels like a slimmed down Civilization 4.

But now I can’t play it.

Cannot reach server, it says, and the only remaining option is to quit the game. No saving, no “try again”, nothing. Just “quit”. I can’t even start the game now, not play single player, not multiplayer, not even toy around with my castle design.

This is all because of Ubisoft’s moronic DRM called Online Services Platform.
It’s pure evil, and I hope Ubisoft will realize this too. In the meanwhile, I urge people to read up on OSP before buying anything from them.

Also, I’d like to say something directly to the engineers who implemented this:
Shame on you! Bad nerd!

Down we go

The great underground hall

Apols for imagefuck. Multiplay indev is gonna be fun.
Apparently Notch is nearly done with it.

niiice. I think we should appoint you as our architect when the 5punky indev version is going live.

The town hall will be a stone cock. That is final.

We wouldn't want it any other way.

Here's the link to 5punkville, btw: http://www.minecraft.net/play.jsp?serve ... 8917dd78c2

Nice stuff, especially in indev, having to carve all that wood and stone out first. Is it a paradise map? I don't see any defences. Those fucking skeletons get me every time.

Is it just me or has 5punkville vanished and become a blank level?

Just you. Seems fine to me.

It's a huge island map but not paradise. I usually hole up in my boat or what's there of my castle during the night. It's relatively safe and i've also got, somewhere in the sea, an underwater sanctuary.

Impressive. I once tried an underwater sanctuary, but I drowned
