While Not Minecraft 2, Notch’s Latest Project Looks Pretty Similar

It looks like Notch has become newsworthy again! The Minecraft creator has been hard at work experimenting with a new engine.

Those following him on Twitter will have seen the many screenshots and occasional video. The most recent screenshots show a world that, to some in the gaming community, looks a lot like Minecraft. Notch shot down the notion of a Minecraft sequel, saying that he’s not sure if it will even become a game.

For now, the project is called “Voxels_WebGL2,” with the main game file called “webgl2test.js.”

I don’t know if this is going to turn into a game, and it’s definitely not a sequel to anything. 😉

I’m just having way, waaay too much fun seeing how far I can push this tomfoolery. I had it push a 32 kilometer view distance for a while.
