I always wonder why there is no 0x10c'ish game yet (it was a game prototype set on a space ship where you could program the computer), as there was a lot of hype around it and the idea seemed really nice (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0x10c https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0x10c).
There are some games that explore that direction (e.g. space engineers has some kind of programmable block), but no successful ones in the spirit of the original 0x10c vision (which was pretty vague and maybe the hype and high expectations killed it). I still think that one could build a great game around the main idea, but probably it is hard to balance the game mechanics between "real" programming and actual game play without alienating users that want to get into programming and actual programmers that want to play a game.

He wanted to work on smaller games that could fail rather than massively hyped games where every off hand design decision comment becomes a major news cycle item in the gaming world. The attempt for a community driven game appears to have stalled out ( https://www.reddit.com/r/trillek/ https://www.reddit.com/r/trillek/ ).
- zeptomu 9y agoYeah, I knew that he canceled it (it's also in the wiki link), but I thought it would have been picked up by other developers. And yes, Trillek seems dead unfortunately.
- hvs 9y agoNot sure about the programming, but you might want to take a look at StarMade. https://starmadedock.net/ https://starmadedock.net/
