Since a flame war broke out, it's time to lock this topic

/lock

you have really gone beyond my limit of believing


"To survive you must craft:" you say and you also say that you arent copying of MC wow you suck at lying just go take your lies and fakes of PMC and take them somewhere else redcoingames you are a faking 8 year old

rant ftw

Also, survival will be set in a procedurally generated city in the midst of a Zombie Apocolypse..

To survive you must craft... Also were re-building in XNA C#.


I could really do with motivation right now...

Oh dear god. I just looked at the wiki (http://bit.ly/1ewXuFK) and it looks like they are serious. If they ignore my giant post earlier explaining Voxel/Sandbox etc and just make a copy of MC I will die.

Here's the wiki page they/he/she made. (Well, I copied and pasted the text)


Here's my deconstruction/critique of sorts of the Wiki-


The link to my giant post to motivate OP (Please look, OP of thread! It's toward the bottom of the page!)--

Btw I did just play your "game", this is my review 0 out of 5 stars. Very buggy, not worth $.50. I do not reccomend this nock-off to anyone.

Great just what we need another minecraft! As though we actually need it!

Not that I've played it- But he mentioned it using Unity 3D. It is insanely easy to make a block game with Unity and remapping MC textures to the blocks. 10, 20 min max.
I am 99% sure that this is not MC, but a simple block game from Unity.

So everyone, stop calling it MC.

Ok, ok, ok.
No TL;DR, just read it, PLEASE.
PLEASE, don't take this the wrong way, but pretty much any voxel/sandbox game that is based purely on blocks is essentially a copy of MC. It's fine to be inspired by a game to create a game, but you are obviously trying to recreate the same feel of Minecraft.

You don't have to make it block-based, (Garry's Mod, UniverseSandbox, Blockland [Blockland surprisingly has waaaay more that just cubes and is based on freaking everything]).

Ace of Spades wasn't a copy of MC because AOS is very different- It has a separate feel. AoS deliberately uses the out-of-date 'Voxlap Engine' so the game can run on older PCs and new PCs alike. AoS has an interesting player model, (Rather than the purely block person in MC) along with having new physics which would take the meaning out of an ordinary non-linear sandbox game.

Blockland was made before MC (2000) and is still being touched up on. It's much different than AoS than MC, and is more comparable to Gmod. In the 'Vanilla' Blockland you can build anything, and tweak it precisely with the wrench tool.
There are many more building materials than blocks- The world isn't made of blocks, it's almost a look-alike to legos (Blockland is smexier than legos, if you ask me), but that all contributes to the feel of the game.

Minecraft was original. It was the first voxel/sandbox of it's kind, and that is very respectable. Making a game using cubes is fine, just TRY to give it a different feel to MC. (In example; Bigger cubes? Smaller cubes? Simpler graphics [Use an older gaming engine for full effect]? More user control [Wrench tool in Blockland is an example]?)

What I'm trying to say is that I don't want another MC clone. No matter how much you say it isn't- "It's like an RPG!" it is. RPG isn't genre enough to separate it from MC. So if you really want to create something new, try a genre that hasn't been explored purely in blocks-- Racing? Platformer? <strike>MMO? (Cubeworld)</strike>

So really, don't make a copy of MC and hide it as an RPG. If you really want to make an RPG in ugly cubes, than try to make a different player model, different viewing angle, I.E. main one top down?), no generated map- One, great adventure, weapons, tools, NPC's (Must-have), etc.

Please take the time to read above. No TL;DR bullblock.

Sorry about all of that. I'm not trying to discourage you, I'm trying to help you create something original.

Somehow the desert screenshot on the wiki looks EXACTLY like minecraft with a resource pack...

Chests. Bookcases. Spurce, Birch Oak wood. Lava, water. Cactus, Sugarcane, Both red and brown mushrooms. It's not a coincidence.

Containing common blocks that exist in the real world.

What are the odds that you pick the exact same ones Mojang developers did?

Guys yes, its a block based voxel game like minecraft, I am not 8 I am 14 and hope to become a video game developer.

It currently contains Common blocks that may be in minecraft but were originally FROM THE REAL WORLD.

We hope to expand the game by adding original features. Please ask questions, Suggest features or leave the thread. Neither Red Coin Games or PMC welcome Flamers...

maybe, original idea?

Please, stop flaming.

and FYI, bricks existed before minecraft...

Into YOUR blocks? More like the exact same blocks Minecraft has (Oh wait, that's because it is Minecraft.) Seriously, you're just exasperating me now. Why does the internet have to be full of trolls?

I'm saying that Sphax PureBDCraft is a Minecraft texture pack. You can't run Minecraft texture packs on a game that's not Minecraft.

Sorry to burst your bubbles, but Sphax is Minecraft. MINECRAFT. Not some knockoff game that doesn't exist.

mincraftED-snip-

What games haven't we finished? and Unity and Blender aren't game makers. everything is coded in (in this case) C#. If your referring to Gaia we collaborated on, we were mis-informed.

This is Minecraft in a texture pack. Get real.

mincraftED-snip-

Truth be told, ED's right. You have said you are going to make half a dozen games, but never finished them.

Another Blocky Sandbox? XD

Anyway, It actually looks good for a game in development stage, would you want me to play it on YT?
