Right now its basically sandbox worldcraft using a limited array of textured blocks.
Soon, the developer has planned implementing NPC's, mining for ore to get resources, different gameplay modes, like where you have to build structures during a day cycle and fend off zombie attack at night.
It's only been in dev for two months and its one swedish guy working on it. The simplicity has me hooked.
Oh, also, you can instantly reskin your character however you choose, once you purchase. I guess this is only interesting if you like making up your own fun. You can run your own server easily, public or private, and since it's all java and broswer, your friends can help you build. You can kick people or ban them from your server if they mess around. You can save levels easily.
Im taking screenshots ill see what i can post... ahh here, my buddy made himself a storm trooper skin heh, and he found a cow too.

I didnt get any shots of what we'd been working on with serious intent.. all this stuff is just experimenting.
I guess you can also import old doom levels somehow?
Also in the pictures, bear in mind.. the world goes just as deep as it does high.. filled with caverns and ore and lava and.. well thats about it at the moment. The maps can generate some really funky stuff! its not all islands beach and water... cities pop up too.
remember ...there are older and fouler things than Orcs in the deep places of the world (well, once they're implemented ~)
thank you for your time!
an example of the possibilities... someone imported a CT scan of a human body, complete with insides color coded.. you can dissect him...
uh.. i made a lighthouse....
this game is like having every lego kit ever made. who needs NPCS.
