Absolutely, once it hits beta. The game works really well in fullscreen mode. =)

I want to more or less force people to get the latest version while it's in alpha.

This is cool so far! You can pull off some pretty sweet if you jump then place a block beneath you.

I just wanted to say how sweet this looks!   Hand Thumbs Up Left Grin Hand Thumbs Up Right  I can't play much right now on my laptop touch pad, but it looks like I'll have a lot to look forward to!  I really loved finding a natural spiral cavern under my second island, which led my to a enormous lava lake that I channeled off into another cavern!  Keep at it!  I'll keep checking back!

That list of tiles on your blog looks very promising already Smiley
Just one more: A "bush" tile, basically just a grassy-green block all around. I think that could make for formidable hedges and if you include wood, we could even grow trees without much effort! Grin Although there'd have to be at least two kinds of wood then, I guess: A natural one that could be used for trees, and another one that rather looks like wooden planks.

And don't forget about the multiplayer! Wink


I've also created a little video of something I built, and I really love that that was possible already.. anyway, going to upload that later. I hope you don't mind if I steal your idea of using annotations like that, Zolyx. I'm just so bad at making things up on my own Durr...?

So, off to bed, now that I'm finally freed of Minecraft's grasp.

The water is so fun to mess with, but I've never seen lava.  I've looked in a whole lot of many caves on multiple levels, but no lava.  None on surface either, is there some sort of trick to get lava? Tongue

This lake occurred naturally. It was very impressive. I was just walking along, and I was like, "Holy shit that's a hell of a lake."

I was deep underground and couldn't be bothered with climbing out so I respawned and saw a flash of lava. I then tried respawning there again, took me like five minutes to get a close enough spawn. Built a monument and castle at its side, spanned by a bridge. Beneath the castle is a cavern system, entered by going under the bridge. I'm contemplating flooding it with lava.

After some digging it seems like yours is the only computer that does right. I was sending RGBA data as ARGB, and for some reason it still looked right on most computers.
I think the problem was that I was treating an intarray as a bytearray, possibly causing some kind of offset problem.
When I fixed it to only work on byte arrays, I got the same result as you, so I could fix the bug.. i hope.

Please let me know after 0.0.13a is out. :-)

I love this a lot, one nice addition might be the ability to fly. I've made a huge tower and fell off it with a long climb to get to the top Sad

That's looking great. Those new worlds are huge.. Can't wait to play around in these with friends, but being able to save is obviously already very great.
Not that it isn't already, but, sir: Minecraft is going to be awesome. Thanks a lot for making it Smiley


I'm also done with my corny video now, check it out:

Durr...?
Obviously inspired by Zolyx's videos Smiley

Wow. I thought the levels were already big enough... then I watched the .13 teaser. Boy was I wrong. NEEEED!! Addicted Beg

Okay, a suggestion:

I can understand not adding a flight mode for free construction. I like the challenge of being stuck to the ground - it makes you think about how you're going to build something. Flight would largely remove this challenge. But having said that...

If you ever played Exile, it had a teleport system which I think could fit quite well with Minecraft:
 * Have a first-in, last-out list of teleport "bookmarks" - a maxmimum of 3-5 or so.
 * Hitting a suitable key would remember your current location.
 * Using the teleport button would take you to the last remembered location. That location is then removed from the list, so you'd have to re-mark it if you wanted to return there again upon your next teleport.
 * Trying to teleport when no locations are stored would be the same as the current random respawn.

@ MisterX - ahh, you're ahead of me, was just about to encourage you to film away to your heart's content :D That video is bloody brilliant, nice job!

I'm excited about playing this when I get home!

Alas, I could only muster about 6fps while here. The trailer looks much appetizing.

How do you guys manage to record such smooth video?

Every time I try to use a screen-capture program no matter what I'm trying to record, it makes everything go really slow.

Even Spelunky wound up at a nigh unplayable framerate when I tried to record a speed-run of mine, but I keep seeing these nice, smooth videos and such.

After watching that boat video, I was inspired to make my own cheesy silent film as well. I mean, I did that castle-photo adventure a while back...

Also, do you think we could have an option to turn off the HUD and the building indicators (the flashing or transparent blocks and such) in the upcoming version? They really muck up the view, and I don't think editing them out would be as easy in video.

I think it largly depends on the performance of your computer. But, if the game already runs very well, so that there are enough resources left for capturing a video at the same time, it should work if the program allows for it.

I'm using CamStudio, and after some initial hiccups and finally switching to the "MPEG-4 Video Codec" for compression it works quite nicely. Not without flaws, as I got some weird graphical glitches or a bit of stuttering in some games when I recorded the Cockpit Compo video, but for example with Minecraft I didn't have any problems Smiley
Also, don't forget to limit the frame rate of the recording, I guess 30FPS will do in any case.
Lastly, don't try to record ingame audio with CamStudio. It won't work properly. Not that it really matters in Minecraft Giggle

Otherwise, there's Fraps which should work much more easily and flawlessly. But, the free version only allows for 30 seconds of recording per clip.
