Markus Persson, known as Notch, primarily became famous as the creator of Minecraft. From the moment of sale of rights to the franchise Microsoft The developer was enjoying his life and working on small projects, but, apparently, he now intends to return to action with a new game.

In the last days of Notch shared a few screenshots and gave some details. The untitled game will be a looter shooter in the vein of Borderlands, but with unique swords and protective cloaks instead of guns and energy shields. In addition, D20 role-playing mechanics are expected (the system is named after the 20-sided die). Marcus noticed that some users compared this description with Diablo – now it will be one of the sources of inspiration. A first-person view is expected, and the gameplay will not be turn-based.

The physics of the game being developed allows for vertical walls and floors, and sloped ceilings. The rustic design may be reminiscent of classic games, including the fantasy Hexen: Beyond Heretic. If he wanted, Notch could do ray tracing, but to do this he would have to switch the engine mode.

Persson is very pleased that players have expressed interest in his upcoming game and began to share their guesses. At first he was worried that AAA games were expected of him. At the same time, he noted that he only likes “sucky” big-budget games in the spirit of Starfield – “not sucky” projects seem “flat and lifeless” to Marcus.
