Markus "Notch" Persson is mostly known as the creator behind Minecraft However, he's rapidly becoming famous for his eccentric games that include everything from speed typing to existential drama. Cliffhorse, his latest title, is an example of. Yes, it's as absurd as the title implies -you play as a horse pushing a giant ball around the cliffs, but there's no anything more than that. MINECRAFT However, the bare-bones design (which took just two hours to build) is what's important. Persson describes the game for Windows only as a smackdown at developers who misuse early access programs by charging for "minimum effort" releases, where the majority of the content is expected to come later. He's also aware of the irony, given that he billed for Minecraft long before it was completed.
If the absurdity of the project was not evident, Notch will only accept voluntary Dogecoin donations as payment. Cliffhorse can be downloaded completely free of cost, should you want. It's a good thing that there is no profit model, as there aren't assurances of updates in the future. You may not like Persson's parody to send him virtual currency. MINECRAFT SERVER LISTS Still, the launch may be helpful if it prompts some developers to put in a bit more work before they ask gamers to pay up.
