Notch makes a space MMO

“In a parallel universe where the space race never ended, interstellar flights began to gain popularity among corporations and the rich.

In 1988, an absolutely new deep-bed camera for interstellar flights appeared on the market, compatible with all popular 16-bit computers. Unfortunately, it used the order of writing bytes from high to low, while the DCPU-16 specifications required writing from low to high. This caused a serious bug in the attached drivers, because of which, instead of the required 0x0000 0000 0000 0001, the dream lasted for 0x0001 0000 0000 0000 years.

It was 281 474 976 712 644 AD. The first people began to wake up in the depths of the universe, which is on the verge of extinction, all distant galaxies are lost in redshift, the formation of stars has long been completed, and massive black holes dominate the universe.

Such is the background of the new global game 0x10 ^c , which Notch, the creator of Minecraft, began to develop.

The game genre is solid science fiction with a foundation on a solid theoretical basis. Players will have to deal with programming DCPU-16, manage a full-featured computer system, participate in space battles against AI and other players. In space, there will be abandoned spaceships laden with good; landing on planets is possible. There will be mining, trade and looting. Game modes - single and multiplayer in the Multiverse.

DCPU-16 Specifications

The game is still in early development. As in the case of Minecraft, Notch promises to roll out a public release even in the form of alpha, then fix bugs and improve the game in accordance with the desires of tester players.

With the cost of the game has not yet decided. Most likely, there will be a monthly fee for joining the Multiverse, since the calculation of all physics and the emulation of DCPU-16 computers will continue even in the absence of a player online. For a single game mode fee will not be charged exactly.
