Markus “Notch” Persson, the creator of Minecraft, has published a website for his new space-based game ’0x10c’.
Notch has been posting his process on the game on his Twitter feed, but until now has been struggling to come up with a name for the game. Last night via Twitter he announced that the name is 0x10c, but he has not yet revealed how it is pronounced.

There are quite a few big name titles coming in 2013 that we have already talked about, but there are also a lot of promising and rather no-name games coming this year that you might have never heard about"
I think at this point, it will have to be pretty promising with all the FPS games that have flooded the market.
My thoughts exactly, last gen was majority 3rd person but hugely varied, this gen has been an abundance of samey FPS games with a few standouts like Dishonoured and BioShock.
I'd also need to see some pretty mind blowing stuff at this point (AKA BioShock Infinite grade potential) to get excited about another FPS title.
Hopefully this FPS craze will fade away next gen.
With the exception of 'You Sir, Are being hunted" (which doesn't look particularly interesting IMO) and "0x10c" the other three games look like pretty standard fair shooters. Not terribly impressed by them.
"Markus “Notch” Persson, the mind behind Minecraft, has revealed that his new project, 0x10c, will not be shown this weekend at Minecon in Paris, France."
StickSkills said, "Since our staff is responsible for covering pretty much everything related to the video game industry on a daily basis, it can be tough to post all the stories we think our readers would like to see. Videos go unwatched, new release dates are missed and silly quotes just float away without ever being heard. So, instead of ignoring the news that slipped through the cracks each week, we decided to put it all in one convenient place! This week, we take a look at the return of ToeJam and Earl, check out some new footage from the upcoming Lost Planet 3 and get introduced to a few new characters in Far Cry 3."
