    Minecraft Maker Unveiled a new "hard Science Fiction' Game</h1>
    <html><body><p><p><br/> Minecraft maker unveils new 'hard science fiction game<br/></p><br/><p><br/> April 2012<br/></p><br/><p><br/> The first details of his new project have been revealed by the creator of Minecraft the well-known video game.<br/></p><br/><p><br/> Markus "Notch" Persson said the game was slated to be called 0x10c, space-themed, and set in the distant future.<br/></p><br/><p><br/> In contrast to Minecraft, users are "likely" to be charged a monthly cost to take part in multiplayer games.<br/></p><br/><p><br/> Despite the fact that Minecraft does not have a third-party publisher or marketing campaign, close-to five and a half million copies have been sold.<br/></p><br/><p><br/> Mojang the development company of Mr. Persson's company, was able to generate an impressive buzzword appeal by releasing the game early and letting users decide how they would like to see it grow.<br/></p><br/><p><br/> Mr Persson said he planned an identical strategy for the 0x10c.<br/></p><br/><p><br/> Ancient universe<br/></p><br/><p><br/> He explained that the storyline revolved around humans who were accidentally placed into prolonged deep sleep in 1988. They awoke more than 281 trillion years later.<br/></p><br/><p><br/> The universe is described by users as being "on the brink of dying", and they participate in space battles, trading, looting and mining operations for planets.<br/></p><br/><p><br/> Mr Persson said he was planning to make the title follow the rules of "hard science fiction".<br/></p><br/><p><br/> He wrote, "I will try and make sure that science in the game has a plausible theoretical basis in reality."<br/></p><br/><p><br/> "As as many hand-waves as is possible and the rest thoroughly explained. Please let me know if an expert in the field.  <a href="https://gamemusichall.net/">Game music hall</a> I have committed a mistake in.<br/></p><br/><p><br/> In-game computers<br/></p><br/><p><br/> The appeal of Minecraft is in its the ability of players to change the environment their character inhabits, 0x10c offers the possibility of being able to program an emulated 16-bit computer processing unit which "powers" the player's spaceship.<br/></p><br/><p><br/> Persson said that users would be able to create their own operating systems for CPUs, and when enough code written by users is created, users can use it "like normal computers" in order to run other games as well as perform other tasks.<br/></p><br/><p><br/> He did warn, however, that he couldn't stop the spread of viruses. The players will have to do it themselves.<br/></p><br/><p><br/> Industry watchers expect the news to cause plenty of excitement.<br/></p><br/><p><br/> "Everybody is waiting to see what 'Notch' and Mojang would do next since Minecraft was so successful and different," said Nathan Brown editor online of the Edge, a gaming magazine. Edge.<br/></p><br/><p><br/> "It turned business models on its head by allowing people to buy early and participate in how the game developed. It's interesting to know that this innovative and forward-thinking studio is looking at charging a monthly subscription. This is something that was previously associated with older titles like World of Warcraft.<br/></p><br/><p><br/> Portal 2 wins the Bafta prize<br/></p><br/><p><br/> 16 March 2012<br/></p><br/><p><br/> Minecraft wins gaming arts award<br/></p><br/><p><br/> Mojang<br/></p><br/><p><br/> Twitter<br/></p><br/><p><br/> World of Warcraft<br/></p><br/><p><br/> 0x10c<br/></p></p></body></html>"
