In their Q&A [0] they sound very passionate about raising money now and figuring everything out later. I wish them the best, but definitely feels like a project that will fizzle out, or dramatically change in scope. I've never seen a more vague and generic description for anything - they want to combine:
an infinite world, millions of players, upload anything into it, every game genre, thousands of "biomes", craft anything, factions, pets, enemies, loot, Photoshop/Zbrush/SketchUp clone, PvP and PvE, mac & windows with mobile coming soon
Their vision for the game reminds me of how Epic Games reportedly raised around a billion dollars to fund their idea of the Metaverse [1].

- fastball 5y agoThey talked a lot about Minecraft but I'm not sure either of them played it. > You look at Minecraft and yes there are multiplayer Minecraft servers, but the majority of gameplay people experience as single-player This doesn't ring true to me at all. The vast majority of people playing MC regularly are playing on MP servers, and on those servers a lot of the gameplay is directly with other players – tournaments of all sorts (PvP, building, games like "Spleef"), fully-formed market economies with payments/shops/etc, small-scale building with friends, exploring the world together / team PvE, and of course huge collaborative building efforts that can have 100s of people working towards a unified goal.
