No idea whats the point of this game but its strangely addicting. I mean like wow I played 4 hours straight. wtf I am doing anyways kind of addicting. Oh and it costs 10€ to buy it and its alpha version currently. Beta is coming sometime this year with multiplayer mode! There is some free version at the site too but there is no gathering or anything you just build with the blocks.

Game world looks nice and is generated as you adventure: http://www.youtube.com/user/Nizzotch#p/u/0/NszGurD...

I'll just add some pictures too from my adventures!

So I build this tower and saw the most amazing sunrise ever in any game or in real life:


Then as the sun scared the monsters away I build another tower!


Next I'll try farming or try to find some scary caves or maybe I try to do moat or build boat and check whats happening in the near islands. So hard to choose what to do next!

I got this, and it's awesome! Quite addictive too.

You start in a big world, then can mine, explore dungeons, kill stuff, gather stuff, craft stuff etc.

I'm in love.

Awesome towers there! I'm still learning the game, but it's been very fun. At that price is great, and once it hits beta, price will increase.

After watching some videos on youtube, I'm actually convinced that this might be one of the more awesome games I've seen in a long time. The pity reply thing was actually meant as a bit of an inside joke to Isomac, since we were discussing how all of his topics get buried by people talking about Halo or whatever. And sure, there are reasons for Halo being more popular than this kind of indie game, but that doesn't make this game any less interesting. Isomac, you did a really poor job at trying to convince me that this game was cool! You showed me like, the worst videos! ;)

Now that I've admitted all of that, it's back to pretending that Isomac made this game up. It's all in his head.

So what exactly is this game? It looks like Wolfenstein graphics wise, but that is all you can tell from those shots.

Well the simple answer would be:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minecraft

It's basically an open world game that stretches on for ever.
Seeing as this game is still in development it doesn't have a story / goal at the moment (except for staying alive)

Maybe this opening post from Neogaf will give u a bit more insight:
I finally got around to checking this game out, and it's astoundingly good.
You start in a massive, randomly generated world, and pretty much do whatever you want. The hook is that you can burrow into any surface, as well as build anything out of the materials you mine.
There are random mobs running around which drop unique items, a day night cycle, gardening, farming, livestock, crafting... and every week the guy is adding more.
Eventually, he is going to make it a full multiplayer game, with various modes such as fortress building/defense, CTF and cooperative survival.
If you played the previous free version, the new "alpha" build is much more structured, requiring you to gather resources and craft them into building blocks and various weapons/armor.

Sounds interesting, it would make me feel strange to buy a game in alpha though. So I guess I can give the free version a try and decide from there.

this needs that one retro/lego looking RPG's graphics; would be perfect.

I've seen so many videos of this game already and it seems boring as hell.
will not buy in current state

Damn skeletons! They rape. I lost all my best gear on my last expedition into the deep ;__;

After venturing back down to see if I could recover any of my equipment, I very narrowly escaped being killed again, only to find that on my way back up, a creeper had sabotaged a section of my stair well! These mobs are evil!

<3 the music

Yeah skeletons are really scary. I was mining some gold... then suddenly skeleton shoots me and I fall in to lava pool. I lost everything with nice pssshh sound effect. Creepers can be really stealthy bastards too.
