Well it certainly looks interesting, shame there's no kind of demo to see what the game's actually like, without paying £75.

I think this looks great. I love Minecraft but this takes a different approach to it, which is good. I could, however, see Microsoft moving Minecraft in the same direction, connecting servers together and making it more like an MMO..

If you’re a games company pitching the ‘next Minecraft’, co-developed with users, then be clear that players have no ownership unless you give them equity.

+1 also they didn't really cover how they're going to avoid griefing (although maybe that's what beacons are for?) and just general dirt huts and nerd poles.

No demo, game footage is limited to viewing the world and building blocks, exactly what vanilla Minecraft is.

There is a high risk, huge hype, but nothing to back up their ambitions. Also, I do not believe 100k is even realistically enough for funding this project.

Yeah, that's what Beacons are for (and areas outside Beacons decay back to the original terrain)
