Minecraft is a game that has been out for a long time. I despised its low resolution graphics and the absence of curves and slopes in the game.
One day though, I read in an article online that Notch said that one of his inspirations for making the game are roguelike games. So, for the people familiar with me, you know that I am an addict when it comes to diablo-like games, which can be considered as far descendants of roguelike.
So the other day, I think it was either Friday or Saturday, I tried Minecraft, v1.1 survival mode, modded with LB's 256x photorealistic texture pack. Boy was I mesmerized. It gave this Morrowind-feel of exploration, resource management, and content creation--add to the fact that I love creating my own things. The best thing about the game is that it doesn't force any goal for me--I always find myself setting my own goals for myself. It's either I'll be starting the [in-game] day by mining, or preparing a farmland, or harvesting my own crops, or preparing fences for my farms and animals, or luring wild cows and chickens (sheep are elusive, or maybe I've killed them all) to the safety of my farm, or maybe breeding these animals, or maybe killing them for food.
Minecraft is a true sandbox experience for me. My one wish is that maybe Minecraft can be upgraded into a modern 3d-game, like Morrowind or Skyrim. How I wish to recreate my experiences in Minecraft with games that has the graphics of Morrowind or Skyrim.
How many of you have tried the game? Did you like it, too?
