Seriously. The radiators are tiny, and the rooms are huge. I think the landlord turns down the heat during the weekends as well. I stopped by yesterday to get some bonus work done in between the two trips (I was in Mexico one week ago, and we're going to GDC in one week followed by a short stop in Vegas).
Most of the work I got done last week was with the new launcher, and it's almost done now! Here's a mostly complete summary of the changes:
We have a couple of bugs left to fix, and we're going to try adding the ability to choose what dir to save/load levels from. Playing against your dropbox dir might be fun. Once all that is done, it'll get released!
While I was away, Jens's been working on 1.3, which we're aiming at releasing sometime early/mid-week next week. I've forgotten all the new stuff in there (it's sunday, ok?), but my favourite two are the redstone delay/repeater blocks and the beds. We're hoping to be able to make the beds feature complete before GDC, but it's more important to get the 1.3 update out, so some of the functionality might be missing for a week or two.
In other news, all the lights are on here. I tried playing Amnesia, but it turns out I'm a coward. If you're reading this, Frictional; AMAZING JOB! I've never been this scared in a game, ever.
Yay beds!
Yay launchers!
Yay Minecraft!
well said, comrade.
awesome work notch and team, so does this mean when it say it only downloads the need files that it won't delete mod files? easyier work for modders. :D, also is it able to be downloaded or only online? so many questions.
But the file you mod (minecraft.jar) is the one that will always be updated.
Finally new stuff, can you make the dude sleep?? and have dreams?
What? Dreams would be kinda silly. Regaining health . . . sleeping through the night . . those would be nice.
Definitely. if i have a bed/dresser for my "clothes" or outfits/skins. then i would have a reason to make a real bedroom. i mean making couches is easy. and that weird fire place using lava...
either way an official bed is sweet.
and why is he using wings3d????
I guess Wings3D is all you need when you really only intend to work with cuboids.
Are you kidding me it could be cool like random dreams something like netherland but when u die u wake up.
Word bro..
wouldn't something like mo' creatures be a little more useful than a new launcher?
ppl think minecraft is for ppl with no money Y_Y
Lol, that's why Minecraft is $15 EUD atm.
more like free is you DL it.....
Go ahead karma me down, I'll still never pay for this.
then WHY DO YOU PLAY IT?
gog damn. if it's worth playing, BUY IT. >.>
Have you made the launcher cross-platform yet? Would be an annoying little thing not to have on Linux.
Yes, its cross platform, you can also already download it. Just use it to launch MC instead of your current minecraft.exe: Twitter.com
Hah!
Tell me about , im from russia
Погугли, чудак!
и чего мне гуглить?
может ты себе чувство юмора нагуглишь?(
Ysy! Amnesia is amazing!!
Agreed!
It would be cool if you could use beds to instantly make it day.
I think that's the plan!
Oh... Now I see a bit more use in them :P
