Um, the game is actually pretty fucking fun and impressive considering it was built in only 7 days.

Sadly, the concept is generic and unoriginal. And who could vote for the projects? Was it closed number of people? If not then it's not a surprise that Notch won.

He just CAN'T code. I'm not trolling here, he really is still a pretty average programmer for how famous and rich he has become. |
Agreed. Don't get me wrong, I love minecraft and whilst lucky he took a concept that no one had made work and won. He deserves to be as rich as he is but I'd like to see more being put back into the gaming community from him and his team. So far we've seen nothing, not a single thing, not even a decent update to minecraft.

There are far more talented people out there who could create something far better in that amount of time. Saying it looks like shit is silly, but I certain it could have been beaten.

And you know that how?
Minecraft source code is very good and also quite complicated. You can decompile it yourself and have a look at it. Notch was (some time before releaseing minecraft) moderator for code performance tuning subforum on jgo, not something an 'average' coder just gets to be I would think.
He also wrote his own raycasters and is very good at math. Doing shit like that on the fly is not an easy task for most people.
I'm not a fanboy but I don't agree that he's "just average".
Taking an idea and improving on it (Minecraft) is okay in my book and he deserves ervery penny of it.

You are welcome to goto the 7dfps website and view all the submissions.
Most I've played I wouldn't consider any better then Shambles. There were a couple that looked nice, but had a very short amount of gameplay time or had shit gameplay to begin with. The evacuation game is cool, but I wouldn't consider it any better then Shambles.

As opposed to a barren, ugly, generic, boring zombie shooter? This game is terrible, man, it really is.

Well it's certainly impressed you. Sorry, but in MY opinion the game is crap, it's not fun, it's not pretty, it's not worth playing unless you're incredibly bored.

Then I suggest you visit the 7dfps website and look at the other games.
The fact is that the game was designed for a 7 day contest from scratch.

This is my point I make, its not an awe game of wow this is what we expect to see these days!!! etc
its about "making" a game from nada in that time and getting it to do what it was supposed to do... that is just old skool shooter.. Im wondering what I am missing here with everyone throwing it to the dogs like EA just brought out another couch derp cover game or something. :/

I sort of measure it more along the lines of
well I could probably not of done that in 7 mnths
thats how i weigh it up here sabin 
the fun part for me was the shit must try to not die and see how many zombies I can kill thats what its about that game... just like coming from 7 days to die and hoping to make a secure place before night time on first try of the game, its a "phewww managed to go this long" type of thing.. To me it could be a game with vector lines and no textures,, id still get the same "yay i did it this long" type of thing.
I think people are reading too much into its, its just it was made fast, it was not meant to be an A list game and it did what it was meant to in its feature of zombie dead counting.
I dunno maybe I am easily pleased |

We're not reading anything into except "is this fun or isn't it?" - for me, no, I don't find the game enjoyable.
That's it. I don't care how long it took to make or how quickly, I don't care about the implication that games need HDR to be "fun" these days. This isn't fun. It isn't fun. At all. There was no fun to be had. At all. So following on from the "there was no fun to be had here" belief, then I tackle the visuals - since the was no fun to be had, what naturally comes next for videogames is whether or not they look good; this doesn't. That's it You and mchart are "This was really fun!" (averaged from your "this was fun" and his "this was pretty fucking fun!") and I said it wasn't for me. It wasn't enjoyable. You two are the ones trying to convince me that my tastes are wrong and that yes, indeed, the game is fun because it was made in only 7 days.

no no no no..
I understand "you" did not like it and others
but when written like its a statement of fact for all then its why its being argued here
for example people tend to go
"the game is fucking terrible"
"the game is shit"
"what a pile of crap this game is"
really
based against most other games for sure its nothing at all amazing is it but one mans shit is another mans treasure

I couldn't stop playing it for 30 minutes. Extremely addictive and that is enough for me to say that they achieved the main goal - it's fun to play it whatever it looks like. I'm totally with moose on this one.
Today I didn't even need to use my AK. I gotta say it was a good day. (c) - Ice Cube

I'll check the rest out and see how they play. These competitions are always interesting, more so when fully fledged games come out of them at the end. I can't see this being one of those games but you never know. Hopefully we'll actually see something new from Mojang soon, given they just scrapped their new game I'm slightly worried we may never see anything after Scrolls!

Sad to see that so many people here who play games have such limited grasp of what goes into making a game.
