Minceraft, A Put Up Mortem We've tried adding secrets and techniques to the game before. Small issues, like obscure crafting recipes or bizarre habits, and the whole lot always will get discovered immediately. Regardless of how obscure we make a new function, it is absolutely documented inside hours of a new release. That is superior, and an important example of how devoted some Minecraft gamers are, but it also means we will not actually cover anything good in the game even if we tried. So a while ago, I did some deliberately obscure code in the title screen to switch two letters around, making it say "Minceraft" (old working gag, there's even a "minceraft" mockup t shirt design we did) as a substitute of "Minecraft" on each 10000th game launch or so, and nobody discovered it! I used to be so happy about that, I lastly knew one thing about the sport the players didn't know. Flash ahead to this GDC a number of days ago, I'm doing an interview with Chris Hecker, and he asks me if there's something nobody has present in the game, and that i say yes. I ought to've stated no, however I mentioned yes. Then I begin getting emails and tweets about it, people begin getting excited, and realizing how minor the key is, I attempt to inform people it is a really minor secret. That appears to gas the flames. Minecraft servers list A reporter from a well known gaming site desires to run an article on it, and i inform him not to. Getting individuals hyped up about an intentional typo isn't actually a superb technique to spend everybody's time. There's a variety of cool stuff to be taught from this, although. One is that it Is possible to cover stuff in plain sight, but once folks go in search of it, they will find it. Another factor is that folks seem to need to get excited over issues, even in the event you tell them it's nothing main. I'm impressed and relieved you discovered it. I will not touch upon it outdoors of this subreddit.
