minecraft clone / ripoff? no. extremely early action/shooter engine prototype

[zanesmith666]

this looks so shit

[gruntlover2]

@zanesmith666 You look like shit. One he said it was unfinished and 2 Can you write a better game?

[RuteNL]

how is everything thats blocky a ripoff of minecraft

[cheatmaster1211]

no this game isn't a rip off... block building games are a new genre. Theres minecraft, fortresscraft, total miner, block land, cubelands, terraria, and castle miner. And it all started with a game called infiniminer, minecraft wasn't the first one.

[iservechucknorris]

I SAY THIS GAME IS A RIPOFF OF TERRARIA SIR

[Infernosnipez]

QUAD!!!

[kuadmairjoder]

@corpusc i only ask "downloads" (for this game i want to play this)

[Slash0mega]

cube 2 is way better. why not use that

[corpusc]

@Slash0mega the devs are major assholes. i hung out in their channel for awhile. don't wanna have anything to do with people like that.

also, they keep castrating its good/unique features.

sacrificing them for eye candy shader effects/lighting etc. its like putting lipstick on a pig. the game will NEVER look like a modernish eye candy game while being limited to deformable cubes. they should embrace the things that made them unique and special, instead of tearing it down.

[omgshrimpz]

@corpusc There's always voxels!

[kuadmairjoder]

nice this tool (paint) donwloads?

[corpusc]

@kuadmairjoder sorry, not available for download yet.  it needs ALOT of work.

[halo4life090]

You guys "Minecraft was a copy of infiniminer!!!"

Yes, Notch was "inspired" to create Minecraft from Infiniminer.

The creators didn't even care, they discontinued the game and released the source code.

Btw, A block game where you can build isn't always a ripoff from Minecraft, you guys are so freaking unbelieveable. :@

[superhotglue]

It's not that this is a MC ripoff. It's just unfinished. Therefore I see it going no where as Minecraft is far to mainstream for really any games like these to pick up.

[corpusc]

@superhotglue very confused comment there, i'm not gonna attempt to decipher it or look for any coherent thought. don't think there IS any. 8)

however, Ace Of Spades has gotten quite popular overnight. its minecraft + guns, so that proves you wrong on the only thing i'm sure that you were saying. 8)

[thomasl4d]

@corpusc words hurt my head

[corpusc]

@superhotglue so thats why Terraria as of 2 weeks ago made 2 million dollars? and FortressCraft on the tiny xbox live Indie Games channel made about $500,000 (to be the bestselling IG release by far)? 8)

[superhotglue]

@corpusc Why Terraria is so popular has literally blown my mind, more items you can craft maybe? However the only reason FortressCraft has been so successful is because people wanted MC on the Xbox, which it is officially coming to later.

[100Ultimate]

@corpusc On Fortresscraft: What the HELL is wrong with people? There are much better minecraft rip-offs on XBL. For example: Total miner is an awesome minecraft rip-off. I own minecraft. I played the trial of total miner. It was a minecraft rip-off with some improvements/changes. And ya know what? it is AWESOME. And you know what else? Spiders in that game are TERRIFYING. Seriously. You should try it.

[GreenDouche]

@corpusc Terraria isnt really that much like Minecraft since it is unique in its own way (2d, lots of differerent enemies, bosses etc) and FortressCraft got quite popular just for being on the xbox.

[Skyderadiover]

@corpusc Terraria is not a rip off at all, FC are just mother fuckers :D

[coolwhiprofl]

@superhotglue Read the description.

[CryptidHunter13]

@superhotglue That comment doesn't really make sense. Main-stream thigns MAKE the market. It's the POPULAR stuff that defines videogames, not the stuff you never see. Halo changed FPS games. Battlefield changed War-shooters. D&D (though not a video game) has contributed to most all modern RPGs in some way. So...

[RavingKunaiX]

A block based game? GASP! It must be a Minecraft clone! Oh no! I remember these things called LEGOS! WHY IS EVERYTHING TRYING TO RIP OFF OF MINECRAFT?!

[XboxNoLifes]

@RavingKunaiX you do realize that minecraft isn't even original, IT was based off of ANOTHER game. trolls like you annoy mw.

[RavingKunaiX]

@XboxNoLifes

Are you new to the internet or something? You didn't even use the word "trolling" correctly, and it was clearly a joke. Fools like you annoy mw.

[XboxNoLifes]

@RavingKunaiX You do realize that the internet version of "troll" isn't a real meaning to the word... Are you new to life or some thing? And I see that you didn't quote my main point. so you know that im right :D

[kid2matthew]

@RavingKunaiX this was made before minecraft was so hmmmmm.

[starstruckstarfuck]

Minecraft may be a clone itself, but due to Notch and Mojang's constant updates and hard work, it's now the best.

[arceus121121]

Its.............. MINECRAFT WITH GUNS?

[CazCore]

@arceus121121 if you specify "Minecraft Classic" then that'd be pretty close.

because of my procedural rune combination based weapons (spells) design, people will probably call it "minecraft + magicka", altho they should specify Classic as well. there will be no minegrinding or craftgrinding.

creation + exploration + pure, fast action.

[q1kyle25]

I want to see this grow, hopefully it wont be an obvious knockoff like manic digger.

[TrueEmergence]

@fractuz I totally agree with you. I do a lot of map editing work in Crysis and you have no idea how often I wish there was some sort of minecraft clone made in a more complex 3d environment.

[ledgendaryk]

....u kno what u could do ... make a texture pack with this :D

[corpusc]

@ledgendaryk i used a liberally licensed texture pack. " Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup " texture pack.

[keefachu]

ok infiniminer was scrapped less than a month before it come out... its not really much now because of how fast it was scrapped... Minecraft cant be called a clone that much now since how long its been.... Infiniminer was basicaly an idea that could have been a game, but was scrapped to early

[bhelish]

@keefachu You kiddin mon

Infiniminer was pretty popular in its short lifespan.

It was not scrapped early, the thing you played was the full product.

[IrradicableOne]

@bhelish Yea, well, people wanted to build things more, in the finished product, than play the game that it was supposed to be.

[MangaBlossom]

Just gotta say, not all minecraft players are male. Female players exist.

[CazCore]

@MangaBlossom pics or it doesn't happen! 8)

[MangaBlossom]

@CazCore Very funny. But I definitely don't have balls or a penis so unless they were ripped off at birth and my boobs are actually moobs, I can count myself as a female player.

[MrMrMobMaker]

i got the 1337 view!!!!!!

[hfklsd]

this seems to be a ripp off of cube 2 sauerbraten you edit teh exact way as you show in this video but you dont see that triangle, you only see a single cube that can be changed in size. honestly minecraft was based off of cube 2 sauerbraten. so this game has almost been made already and its already free. look it up.

[corpusc]

@hfklsd why don't you look up and see my description. 8)

the cube 2 community is by far the worst i've ever experienced. the devs are major assholes, and they are castrating its unique aspects in order to add more and more eye candy. its like putting lipstick on a pig. and they didn't come up with one unique weapon. not even a good variety of me too weapons. i don't want anything to do with it. 8)

[corpusc]

@corpusc i should point out that ONE of the part-time devs is pretty cool. robert pointon / baby-rabbit.

[hfklsd]

@corpusc well i dont realy deal with the devs as much i just like the editing ability and how accurate i can make things sorry for the bit of trollism there :P

[Deliphin11]

@hfklsd First off, i agree it does look like Cube 2, but Minecraft was NOT based off Cube 2, Cube has complex 3d objects, Infiniminer has many cubes, Notch (minecraft creator) said it's based off Infiniminer, and when i saw my first video of infiniminer, i didn't know it was that, and until i saw the player model, i thought it was a weird minecraft mod.

[Oxiigen223]

@hfklsd minecraft was based off of infiniminer, notch said it himself.

[MrZelda98]

@Oxiigen223 No, he said he was inspired by Infiniminer and Dwarffortress.

[pichuknight]

@MrZelda98 so its a cycle of

[DrBugProductions]

@Oxiigen223 Infiniminer, Dwarf fortress and Dungeon Keeper, to be exact. :)

[UprootedEagle]

@hfklsd Minecraft was based off of Infiminer.. Notch said so.

[vokuheila]

Great work! If you want to avoid lots of flaming my advise is not to commercialize this game. If you do that you effectively turn into Cubelands and is destined for death. But then if you open source this it's gonna turn into Manic Digger... hmm... maybe avoid the saturated market and pursue something else.

[corpusc]

@vokuheila well you started off with a compliment... i'm going to take it as non-sarcastic for now..... 8)

cubeengine(dot)com has been around since 2006. with virtually the same editor interface as this. then Notch saw Infiniminer, and publicly TOLD everyone that was what made him "clone" it into Minecraft, and now we have a bunch of kids who think MC pioneered all these generic editing features and confuse these generic features with a specific game type. its just simple minded thinking.

[corpusc]

@vokuheila what exactly is this saturated market you are referring to?

and are you SERIOUSLY recommending i change my lifelong goals based on there being a bunch of simple minded idiots who do a very poor split second job of judging something based on their limited knowledge? 8)

[vokuheila]

@corpusc By saturated market I mean the fact that minecraft is just starting to reach its prime as a indie commercial success. Picking this time to develop a SIMILAR game will just come off as a lame attempt to divide the market and rake in cash, assuming you want to sell this game. This is why I find Cubelands distasteful because they even copy the marketing strategy (50% off during development!!). My advise to you is to wait till for MC craze to die down and ppl start to want new things.

[corpusc]

@vokuheila all my d3d/c++ engine videos were recorded in 2003. while it doesn't show block editing in any of those videos IT HAD IT (notice there are more advanced features shown that probably will never be in minecraft). i came up with my "minecraft clone" idea in the early 90s. just now getting around to rewriting it in C#/XNA.

i bet most people like you turn around and play Yet Another WW2 Shooter without so much as a second thought, but god forbid a game should use blocks ever again.

[corpusc]

@vokuheila you see something YOU have never seen before & in your world that means anything else, no matter if it came first or not is a ripoff?

so what is similar about my "game"? divide WHAT market?

my whole point in my descript is that it won't be ANYthing like minecraft!

generic editing features? sure. compare all editors with their peers then go complain to them about being clones of each other. they all have cut & paste! how unoriginal!

[vokuheila]

@corpusc look pal, I'm not trying to start an argument about whether your game is a ripoff of minecraft or not. I'm giving you a sincere opinion as to the TIMING of the development of your game. If you don't want to listen it's none of my business. Go ahead and waste your time on something that looks well created but will die out because you picked the worst possible time for competition... end of this discussion.

[corpusc]

@vokuheila my point is there IS no competition. because the only similarity is that you click to create a block wherever you are pointing.

[vokuheila]

@corpusc I agree that your game is going to be different from minecraft, but there is a clear difference between your vision of your game and what people will perceive. Like you said, simple minded people make simple associations. Your game WILL be associated to minecraft. It's a sad trend but it doesn't mean you should ignore it.

[corpusc]

@vokuheila good response.

[speider]

@vokuheila starting to reach its prime? The game has made 6.7 million Euros. Yes, it's still growing, but i'd counted it as a commercial success long ago.

[PaulRCon]

This looks cool but the graphics are... kind of suckish

[corpusc]

@PaulRCon feel free to point me to some better ones that are free for commercial use (not that it will be commercial anytime soon), or send me some that you made. 8)

[PaulRCon]

@corpusc Im sorry I didn't want to offend you I can tell you put hard work in this it just reminds me of a old game that irrataded the piss out of me, I also dont have my own game which makes me now sound like a troll ass so I am sorry

[TheYoGamer]

really cool :)

I'm working with a 2D copy of the game :P

And I know that there's a hell lot of work behind this ;D

[korgertube]

Looks very interesting and definetly that it shares some common aspects doesnt mean that its another games ripoff.

If not Call of duty, medal of honor, battlefield series... and all the other war based FPS would be ripoffs.

The problem is that minecraft seems to have gotten "fanboys" that attack every other game because it doesnt look "retro" enough lol

Well good luck with your projects¡¡

[corpusc]

@korgertube thanks.

i'm surprised i haven't gotten any angry minecraft fans expressing how they are offended that this exists yet. 8)

i've seen quite a bit of that on other videos that are similar to this or minecraft.

[korgertube]

@corpusc Yeah my answer to all of them is, If you think its a ripoff, try to program it yourself and lets see if its as easy as it sounds.

People believe that it is as easy as Copy/Paste, without really knwing all the hard work behind this projects.
