2D platformer Minecraft clone... thingy (yeah yeah more in common with Clonk, blah blah, but no one's ever heard of that game, unlike MC). Not available yet but apparently it's generating a bit of a buzz already.

I first saw the trailer a few days back and thought well that's pretty shit, but the Let's Play series the devs have going makes the multiplayer look like it could be fun.

Been watching the LP series and I'm really digging the constant advancement and rare magic gear, bosses etc. - Mojang really needs to step up their game unless they wanna lose some player base to this when it gets released.

Yeah the spawns are a bit silly, left and right on a constant barrage. Maybe lower difficulties will have less of them, seems a bit excessive to have so much so early on (in more advanced zones it'd be fine of course).

looks a lot like clonk...in some cases more sophisticated, in others a bit strange..(monsters, unlimited backpack?!). will watch out for this and in the meantime play the newest freeware clonk (endeavour) - only for 100h or something.

Huh. I was just about to point this out, but the filename makes me think I wasn't as clever as I thought.

Huh. Thought it looked familiar. Most of the sprites seem to be based on the Final Fantasy sprites. Specifically the FFV sprite set for Bartz/Butz with minor alterations.

The game looks fun, but if SquareEnix catches sight of it it's going to get a C&D very quickly. Between the poses and most of the animation, it'd be trivial for SE to prove the sprites are a derivative work... Which does make me wonder if they've... ahem, appropriated other material to modify.

Not sure why they think they'd get away with ripping off FFV sprites, don't care. If they want my money for this game, cool as it looks right now, they can hire a sprite artist to make them original sprites. I won't reward copyright infringement with money.

Looks like Minecraft? No, this looks like a game. The creating stuff part was pretty much the only thing in it that didn't look interesting (as it seemed incredibly tedious). But yeah, dunno wtf is up with the FFV sprites.

This doesn't look derivative at all.

I've already watched a few parts on youtube where the devs play it. I'm sorry to report that this game doesn't meet my :obviously: standards with regard to the art.

Maybe when it's out and the devs make lots of cash off you suckers, they will hire an artist or two for Terraria 2.
