It's a monthly/subscription-based account. I guess he found it safer to just get rid of it for now.

Lol at snack time, on nom nom. He actually did the nom nom sound.

I had a few Java classes myself (very basic stuff), but what this guy does is like wizardry to me. Really amazing.
I guess I just never watched someone actually program something live, but it's really fascinating.

Ah, cool, is he doing the Wolfenstein style level file format where every pixel colour holds a value for the corresponding coordinate in game? I wonder how he'll do items and enemies with that since there needs to be floor underneath them too.
EDIT: Oh, stupid of me. Obviously there's floor under everything since the engine just renders the floor underneath everything else.

"Livestream is ass and has been ass for years."
It's more half-assed than mostly-assed like the years before. We'll reach the golden age of live streaming soon! Prospects so far is YouTube dropping a bomb on us when it's ready.
edit: oh, and he's back to work on the game. I wonder what magical snacks he had that negated any drowsiness afterwards.

It's impressive he can keep working while tired, ignoring the chat. Hopefully he just closed it or something.Grinchy said:
Breakable blocks and jail cell doors and a more interesting level layout! It really does look Minecraft-ish. Maybe he just makes the same game each time. ;p (I think his last weekend game was actually a different game style though)
Notch is now live again: http://no.twitch.tv/realnotch
The Luma Dare challenge has people creating a game within 48 hours.
Summary of yesterday:
- Created a 3D(2.5D) engine from scratch
- Lost $4000 in his first streaming session (choosed the wrong service supplier)
- Collision detection is in
- Level layout is determined by a bitmap
- Added movable entities right before going to bed

Wow, this guy truly is amazing. Watching him draw the sprites and just create water so quickly.

I've had the stream on for a while now and damn. That chat is so dumb. I really hope that doesn't represent the average Minecraft customer or I feel sorry for Notch.

The amount of stupidity in a stream chat channel increases exponentially with the number of people. Usually, if around 500-1000 people or less watch a stream, it's fine and I actually enjoy it. (at least with SC2 streams) Above that, it's usually better to just turn off the chat as to not lose your sanity.Banzaiaap said:

I don't think it was working perfectly was it? I thought it had difficulties going through the transparency in the bars. But I think he's gonna put it in and try and get it working later if he can.

Are YOU?
edit: Oh. I get the joke now. Like I said, I just woke up >_<
I just woke up and took a look at his update screenshots, this game is looking awesome already, I actually kind of want to play it haha.
edit: just realized in my last edit I referenced myself before I actually establish the context for the reference. how post-modern of me.
He's live again. Added an ice part to the game, similar to those found in Pokemon gyms and caves.
Funny thing is that this engine is good enough for an actual game. Lots of elements added to it already.
I'd love to see what other developers in this contest have come up with so far.
