Sci-Fi Minecraft: Play StarForge Right Now

Unread postby News Portal » 1 Jun 12, 11:05 am

Many people are calling it "Sci-Fi Minecraft", and they're not far off: the name of the game is StarForge, and it's a free indie offering from a couple of very enthusiastic dudes who call themselves CodeHatch. With infinite procedural terrain, a deformable, constructable landscape, and no loading screens, it's another reminder that indie games are the best. Click here to download it from the GON file mirror, or watch the trailer below for more.

The playable release is very rough around the edges but already pretty bloody amazing. I built a bit of a fort out of the default wood and it put some support beams and various patches and stuff on it in an intelligent manner. That bit of the tech alone makes it pretty interesting for me.

Definitely going to follow their progress. Hopefully they can turn it into an actual game eventually. :)

Is it just me or does the players character look like a mix of a COG and a Spartan? Still looks pretty cool though.

Had a quick look last night.

The engine has an enormous amount of potential, can't wait to see how it evolves over the next few months as they tweak the performance and fix the bugs.
