Minecraft creator Markus “Notch” Persson has said he wants to make a game similar to Minecraft, a “spiritual successor.”
He asked fans on Twitter if they would like him to work on this new game or continue with his other project, a “traditional rougelike.” He later confirmed he was serious about the idea.
Minecraft’s Creator Eyes New Project
Notch made Minecraft a huge success after creating it in 2009. The game grew into one of the most popular video games in the world.
In 2014, Notch sold the game and its studio, Mojang, to Microsoft for $2.5 billion. Since then, Notch has not released many new games, but he still works on projects in his free time.
In his recent tweets, Notch mentioned the idea of creating a new game similar to Minecraft. He asked fans if they would be interested in it, but also expressed concerns about whether people would want to play a game in a different genre.
Controversies Surround Notch
Notch’s comments on social media have caused problems in the past. He has made homophobic and transphobic remarks, which have upset many people.
Because of these statements, Notch was excluded from Minecraft’s 10th anniversary celebration by Microsoft. These controversies may affect how fans feel about his new project.
Challenges Ahead for Notch
Although Minecraft is still very popular, creating a new game may be difficult for Notch. Developing a game alone can be a long and hard process.
Fans will have to wait and see if Notch follows through with his plans and if his new game can live up to the success of Minecraft.
