Notch has recently revealed that he plans to focus on "small niche games" following the success of his sandbox adventure game, Minecraft. Acknowledging the recent success of the console edition of Minecraft, which already sold over 1 million copies, he said it is unlikely he will develop another title as popular as Minecraft.
"In all seriousness, though," he said, "the massive success of XBLA Minecraft has made me decide to focus on small niche games now."
"I don't mean 'small' as in short projects, as 0x10c is a massive one. I mean ones with potentially few players." 0x10c is still early in development, however while no release date is currently scheduled it will be released early to fans as it develops, similarly to Minecraft.
0x10c will take place in a parallel universe where the space race never ended, and features random encounters, space battles, and both single and multiplayer. The title will also feature a connected economy in a similar way to Diablo 3, he states. "The hyperverse in 0x10c is based on similar ideas. 0x10c will still allow offline, though."
