0x10c Cancelled By Mojang

The Minecraft fans among you may recall that Notch had been working on a sandbox space game titled Ox10c (pronounced “Ten to the C”). The idea was that players could create a ship piece by piece and that each section (life support, oxygen, missiles) would take away from a limited amount of power. The ship itself would be controlled by a fully functioning 16 bit computer providing the capability for more programming-savvy players to really deck out their ship.

Unfortunately, the idea has been canned. According to Kotaku, Notch announced via livestream that he had no plans for Ox10c, although he had no problems with another developer taking up the project.

Mojang Announces MMO: 0x10c


Minecraft is a game that has stolen the hearts, the lives, and a whole lot of time here at the nonexistent MMO Fallout office. I’d love a reason to talk about Minecraft, but sadly the game is not an MMO. Notch’s next game, however, will give me plenty of time to talk about Minecraft. Announced just recently, the game is titled 0X10c (figure out the pronunciation yourself), which we will simply refer to as Notch’s MMO from here on out.

The game is set as a sci-fi title and is very early in development, and appears to be an Eve Online style game with a very heavy focus on engineering, mining, trading, and looting. Players have a spaceship that carries a certain fixed wattage that is consumed by additions added to the ship (very Eve-like). At its heart, each ship will operate as its own fully functioning 16-bit CPU.

You can check out the website below. Notch’s MMO will carry a singleplayer and multiplayer mode, and will likely carry a subscription fee for the multiplayer universe.
