Where My Game Was Inspired

My game was inspired mainly by Minecraft. The idea of my own voxel based game, that I could control was too much to pass up. In addition, I had learned a lot of Java (a programming language as opposed to coffee) and I had nothing to program with it. I also was interested in video game programming, and was learning about 2-d video games. Suddenly, an idea popped into my head, and that idea is 3-D. I was going to learn about 3-D games. You may say "Why don't you wait for Minecraft to stop development like Minecraft waited for Infi-Craft?". If I waited until Minecraft closed up shop, I would be waiting a long time, so I decided to start.

Where is my game inspired besides Minecraft? Probably the HUGEST source of my inspiration is Minecraft mods. My idea for electricity is based on a Minecraft mod called Industrial-Craft. This mod is amazing, and is a great idea. I have decided to add a similar system to my game. Also, one of my favorite pass-times is a game called "King Arthur's Gold". It is a 2-D version of Minecraft tuned to fighting. Multi-player is my favorite part. I am inspired by this game for more fights in my game.

Another source of inspiration is Ace Of Spades. Although I could not get it to work on my computer, the game play of Minecraft mixed with FPS seemed great. You just need to manufacture your ammo and weapons in my game. This will add so much more to my game, fighting over territory, and trying to control as much land as possible.

What about death in my game? My inspiration is Mario! The classic Nintendo version of 1-ups and game over is great. I just need to modify the idea a little bit. You have a certain number of lives to start with, and you can earn lives by gaining experience or finding a special mineral. If you got a game over, you would have to re-spawn randomly in the INFINITE WORLD. Don't worry, there is probably going to be only a few servers, and a lot of people so you will be able to find someone to build with.

With all these inspirations, I am going to have a lot more than just different colors of wood to add in my updates. I am going to have lots of  everything in my game, and you get all the fun you could hope for in one un-modded version of my game. (Yes, I am against modding on my game) Even without mods, my game should be awesome! (the first version will be a little stale though) As usual, thanks for reading.
