TechCompliant is the spiritual successor to 0x10c, the project Notch ditched while he was still at Mojang. Both games feature a scifi space theme centered around the idea of having access to virtual CPUs, called DCPU, that can be programmed by the players and keep running even after they log off. In addition to the DCPU itself, there are a variety of expansions available, like displays, navigation systems, sensors, network interfaces and such. So players will be able to automate tasks, rewire their ships and stations and swap code with each other.
TechCompliant picked up the DCPU specifications that had already sprouted a number of emulators, so old projects can be run or easily ported over. And Notch gave the project the thumbs up and even got featured ingame by a small bobblehead figurine.
The development has hit a somewhat public alpha stage that should have started yesterday, but they postponed it to have the linux client ready as well.
