Check out fellow voxel game Ace of Spades[1], Windows and works great on Linux with WINE. It's a FPS with beta 0.54 out this week. Really fun and interesting maps. You build just like in Minecraft, but also fight for to find and return opposing team's intel to your base (basically CTF). Customizable maps, sniper-rifle scopes and more. Also, it's free.

Awesome! This looks like great fun. Plus CTF just never seems to get old to me.


If you follow the links to the authors website for Construder (http://ue.o---o.eu/) then you may see the interesting interview on Yet Another Perl Gamer Hacker blog (http://yapgh.blogspot.com/2011/07/perl-gamedev-interview-wit...) where the author describes how the game was developed.


ue.o---o.eu this domain is awesome!


I don't know why, those unlit caves have some eerie feeling to them (e.g 3:15 to 3:40). They look really nice. I suppose they're randomized but they really look organic/mineral/geological in their shape. There's a reminiscent feeling of Parallax's Descent to it.


I'm really enjoying how Minecraft is inspiring a lot of people to try out new games. Good one ya.


Totally, and it gives me the one percent hope that it may also inspire game companies to make new forms of games. Every major game looks exactly the same to me these days.


Have you heard about "to dust"? It's like Black and White mixed with minecraft. Being produced by Ubisoft.


"From Dust" http://from-dust.ubi.com/from-dust/en-GB/home/ is the one your thinking of I think!

o.


Ah yes. It's been a while! Thanks.


Love the old digital tracked music!
