Yeah, so I was reading the site, when this caught my eye.

New features:
 - Multiplayer
 Select multiplayer in the login dialog and then select server or client.
Up to 256 players can play on the same server.

Thats... an awful lot for a game this early in Development. Not even most Minecraft servers can host that many people, and the games been released.

So I went ahead and bought the game. 13.00$ isnt too bad, and if it turns out to be terrible, it still went to a good cause, in a way. SO everything seems to be on 1/4 scale, which means one whole 'block' is 64 smaller blocks. so far there arent any tools, and you just dig by clicking. the gravity seems a bit wonky, i could jump on top of a tree from a nearby hill. so far its just a really good looking sandbox.

E: also it crashes a lot. but what can you expect?

Hmm.  I am guessing that this means they have much better compression of data (don't keep track of /every single block/ in a chunk where every block is the same) than Minecraft.  Sure to be limiting in some ways, but allow more complexity in others.

So, upon further investigation, i dont believe there is a "bedrock" layer of any sort of limit on digging down, and if there is, it's reallly far down there. That seems to be a plus. and the caverns are much more natural. If i could light them up i'd take pictures, but instead of torches your body naturally emits light for right now. which is cool, i suppose.

E: also vertigo. i cant tell up from down

If you go into God mode, there are lights you can place I think.

Downloading now but I have to say this looks promising, provided they go somewhere original with it. I'll pay for a neat-looking voxel game, but I won't buy Minecraft twice.

It look to be better at least with building stuff lot more options I just hope it doesn't use Java

What's wrong with Java?

I love angles and stuff like that. Slopes are so much fun.

On second thought, that thread is a good read.
