I basically announced minecraft 2.

I thought that maybe people ACTUALLY do want me to make another game that's super similar to the first one, and I'm loving working on games again.

I don't super duper care exactly which game I make first (or even if I make more), but I do know I'm making one, so I figured I'd absolutely be willing to give it an honest shot in the form of a spiritual successor to minecraft and put up a poll about it.

My intentions are to be clear and honest about it, saying that spiritual successors are usually kind of... you know... washed up. Tragic. The things I'm fearing my next game is going to be anyway and try to push myself to avoid. So why not do the thing that people DO want and are willing to give me, somehow, even MORE cash for.

I intend for the money to the spent for good, but my god have I learned I fail a lot. Winning is failing until you make yourself succeed.

Oh and I also very much value being a man of my word, so I also intend to do this in a way that in no way tried to sneakily infringe on the incredible work the Mojang team is doing and that Microsoft is successfully doing the microsoft shittification about.
And I respect them for doing that. It's their job. And they, from what I understand, let the studio do things their way, which seems very fair to me.

Seems pointless. Minecraft is one of those games that is perfect as is and really can’t be replicated. It’s in a category of its own. This would be like Overwatch 2 where it’s no different than the first.

I don't see the need for this. They are updating Minecraft constantly. It's already barely recognizable when compared to the Xbox 360 version.

I think the issue will be lack of mods.

I don't play "minecraft", I play a mod packs on minecraft. The version of minecraft I'm currently playing is nothing at all like the original. It's a combination of about 150 mods and none of the recipes are the same. Everything is extremely difficult.

And in a few years when I finish this modpack I'll probably play another.

It's the same issue with city skylines 2. Aside from it's bugs, it just doesn't have the same mod base that the 1st one has. It was damn near impossible for it to be a better game than the first right from launch for that reason.
