and 15 years later it turns out the setting of minecraft is just kind of there to support your adventures.
there's a sort of charm to the deliberate lack of elaboration, y'know? it asks you a question with ruins and monsters, and lets you answer it with buildings and adventures. It's collaborative.

Today, user Giik makes a thread on the Minecraft Forum about the lore of Minecraft's world. The solitude, monsters, lack of structures (except for dungeons), and basic tech is noted. A post-apocalyspe idea is proposed, and one user notes more structures in the future would support that.

It's an RPG/Racing game where you play as a flying cat named Hapi.
It's got a full story with a cast of characters inspired by the early internet, Bullet Hell Bosses, and a massive OST!

A lot of folk say that the hardest part of doing something is starting it.
In gamedev it's the second hardest part. The hardest part of making a game is finishing it. Nobody really tells you this part since the tutorials are all about beginning it.

You kinda have to be careful with roguelike elements in your game. Randomizing things can lead to a lot of variety, sure, and players learn your game's complex systems faster.
...but it's not necessarily less tedious. It's easy to slip into making something RNG because you don't care about it.
