Minecraft: The Exploration Update announced, new monsters, new animals and more
29 September 2016 at 11:06 am UTC

It will be interesting to see how they plan to improve exploring, which is arguably one of the most interesting aspects of Minecraft.

Would be great to see some castles with rogue knights to take over in the wild :)

Well, unfortunately the stream was abruptly cut, but it was a nice show anyway. Thanks feral !

Those pictures are gorgeous. I hope the game will be at least as beautiful.

That said, I am more into RTS (eagerly waiting DOW II), but I might have misconceptions about Wasteland, I never got around to play it.

/me wants that plush!

Looks like an interesting game, otherwise. I was expecting early access after the trailer, but I think I will wait a bit before trying it.

Quoting: DrMcCoy
Quoting: WorMzyBut how do you pronounce it? :O

As an English loanword in Japanese, it would maybe be pronounced "hakumutsu", with the u being rather short and farther back, more like a schwa or even nearly a glottal stop? But that's just me guessing. I don't speak Japanese, I've just seen/heard this happen a few times. I could very well be completely off; do correct me if I'm wrong.

I also have no idea if this works similarily in any of the Chinese or Korean dialects. I would guess so, but, again, just a guess.
ハクムド, I would say ("hakumudo", you can use google translate's tts if you want). Then, I am not an expert, I would need to practice a bit more.

Nice spot, DrMcCoy. I was wondering why the writing.

It looks great!
The performance figures someone quoted in the phoronix thread are also quite impressive.

/me want a vulkan-capable card :/

QuoteI am a solo dev on this game, and I cannot currently keep up with player concurrency. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME RIGHT NOW IF SLOW SERVER PERFORMANCE WILL MAKE YOU REGRET YOUR DECISION.

At first, I got it as a joke, like if he was the one typing the answers to the commands (ant I thought that the joke was pretty funny). Maybe related to some manual events? Though I doubt it. It's not doable to interact with the entirety of the player base.

I quite like the terminal animations :) Would probably not use them on my system, though, unless it's for showing off*

*I already have ponysay for that

Quoting: linuxgamerThat' really cool! Makes quite a bit sense as they are releasing the day after. But why advertising with BST, I bet more costumers use CEST, BREXIT?

I actually had to google BST, to be fair. I think the real question here is why not GMT/UTC? This is the only one needed, in my opinion. Giving something else force people to lookup the difference between the given timezone and GMT, then convert back to theirs :/

Well, just gave a shot at livestramer (twitch gui). It works great, though not with vlc, interestingly. I think I will just stay with mpv for the time being, then.

Quoting: MyeulCI might try to watch it; is it possible without flash?

Quoting: Liam's newspostFor those that don't know, you can use livestreamer [Official Site] to watch Twitch streams with your favourite desktop player.
How did I miss that? Thanks!

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTIf you like to follow several streams on a regular base, it might be a good idea to go for Livestreamer Twitch GUI. The program helps you to configure your custom player as well as notifies you of streams going live. It has the option tu use a nice, dark ui and Login to your Twitch Account to chat as well.

There should also be packages provided for your favorite distro as well as Windows.

Livestreamer Twitch Gui + MPV = <3

Thanks for the tip, I will try it as soon as I get home. I might start watching streams, after all.
