I disagree with this whole Minecraft is a genre thing. I mean, if you take a game like, say, Spider-Man for the PS2, and then make a clone of that game, and then another clone, and another, would Spider-Man be considered it's own genre of games?
I mean, the Beatles had a lot of songs, but there's no "beatles" genre...

This looks really cool.
But yeah, Minecraft is in no way a genre itself, because it's part of the Infiniminer genre!

I didn't mean a genre called minecraft. Minecraft popularized the style to a point it's created a genre. Or at least a mini-genre.

Yes, I agree that it should be defined as a mini-genre. It's within the sandbox/adventure genre, but Minecraft really did some major innovation in terms of interaction with the world.
But this game looks pretty neat. If it's free I'll try it out when it comes out!

I think Roblox did it really.
You mean it's focused on RPG elements? Like terraria? So it's a terraria + minecraft clone so the son of what would be both of them?(actually it looks like the minecraft mod I wanted in)
Stop looking for ripoffs too!

Actually, RPG elements more like WoW and Elder Scrolls. You can loot enemies, there's quests, and an XP system.

Loot enemies = Minecraft & Terraria. Quests = Indirectly Terraria. XP System = Minecraft (And in a way Terraria too).
It's more like, more graphic than both (Or uses smaller cubes) and more movement than both like if it were a fast paced mmo/rpg/mmorpg/game.
