Well, for a game who's entire concept is "Let's rip off minecraft", with a development team comprised entirely out of douchebags, I'm really not surprised.

This. Good gods, their attitude.

I haven't heard much about this project except for its obvious Minecraft 'inspiration'. What's the problem with their attitude?

So is this fortresscraft a arcade game or can I buy a physical copy at a store? I haven't turned on my 360 in over a month so I don't know.

And consider that this is what he's posting on his youtube account. Making a video takes preparation and forethought. In places where such preparation is unnecessary, well, I think linking to any of it would be highly inappropriate, but I'm sure you get the idea from the video above. The guy is a jerk.

Hardly surprising. Wasn't everyone defending it a few weeks ago?

Infiniminer is the game Minecraft was originally based upon. It was developed by Zachtronics Industries, and released in steps of incremental updates during April–May 2009. It quickly garnered a following on message boards around the internet, and eventually inspired Notch to start working on Minecraft. Like Minecraft, Infiniminer is a block-based digging/building game. It was originally intended to be played as a team-based competitive game, where the goal is to locate and excavate precious metals, and bring your findings to the surface to earn points for your team. However, as the game gained popularity, players decided it was much more fun to build things than to compete for points. Zachtronics discontinued development of the game less than a month after its first release. The source code was made public, spawning a handful of mods and spin-offs, but the game eventually faded into obscurity as the more polished Minecraft was announced.

Minecraft is a sandbox construction game, inspired by Infiniminer, and created by Markus Persson, the founder of Mojang AB. The game involves players creating and destroying various types of blocks in a three dimensional environment. The player takes an avatar that can destroy or create blocks, forming fantastic structures, creations and artwork across the various multiplayer servers in multiple game modes.

Ha ripped off? Sure minecraft took elements from infiniminer. if I remember correctly infiniminer was a team base game where you built a base with square blocks and there was something to do with points.
oh wait here is an article about it from the wiki


Now here is a description of minecraft



Sure notch took the idea of the blocks being cubes and the mining part, but the purpose of each game is radically different and what you can do is completely different. Where FortressCraft is practically a bad clone of Minecraft. There is a difference between ripping off(using some ideas) and practically make a very sub par clone.

Very well said. You get the Mentok of the day award.

I wasn't so much defending the game itself; rather pointing out the hypocrisy of people saying it ripped off Minecraft, when Minecraft ripped off Infiniminer.

Sweet a green genie guy ! Anyhow I don't think it is good publicity to call major media outlets in the gaming industry aka machinma a bunch of bad words will help your game sell. I am not sure what the guy is thinking.

So for someone who has never played minecraft and thus has nothing to compare Fortresscraft to (like myself) is the game still a decent sandbox construction game?
