> My theory, if anyone wants to make something akin to minecraft in the future, is to do just enough, and not too much. Make a game that's delightful as a toy to pick and play around with; and resist the overwhelming urge to add more. Yup, absolutely. It's very easy to get carried away with just adding more.... stuff, but more stuff isn't necessarily better if it doesn't improve the gameplay. The game doesn't become better by adding another type of tree or new random building blocks or whatever, only if they actually offer something unique and cool. Current Minecraft really suffers from this. Do we really need like 30 types of copper blocks?
