"Minecraft creator Markus &amp;quot;Notch&amp;quot; Persson has announced his next game, 0x10c. The game is being billed as a sandbox space exploration and trading game, playable both alone or with a universe populated by other players. &amp;quot;In a parallel universe where the space race never ended, space travel was gaining popularity amongst corporations and rich individuals,&amp;quot; Persson said on the game&amp;#039;s site. &amp;quot;In 1988, a brand new deep sleep cell was released, compatible with all popular 16 bit computers. Unfortunately, it used big endian, whereas the DCPU-16 specifications called for little endian. This led to a severe bug in the included drivers, causing a requested sleep of 0x0000 0000 0000 0001 years to last for 0x0001 0000 0000 0000 years.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s now the year 281 474 976 712 644 AD, and the first lost people are starting to wake up to a universe on the brink of extinction, with all remote galaxies forever lost to red shift, star formation long since ended, and massive black holes dominating the galaxy.&amp;quot; Persson revealed that one of the key elements will be the ship&amp;#039;s 16-bit computer, which will be a fully emulated computer capable of controlling the ship, &amp;quot;or just to play games on while waiting for a large mining operation to finish&amp;quot;. The game is still very early in development, but Persson says he expects it to have a monthly fee for multiplayer access. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s likely there will be a monthly fee for joining the Multiverse as we are going to emulate all computers and physics even when players aren&amp;#039;t logged in.&amp;quot; Mojang, Persson&amp;#039;s studio, is also currently working on Scrolls, which recently settled its trademark dispute with Bethesda&amp;#039;s Elder Scrolls series. Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition is tipped to launch on May 9 as part of the Arcade Next promotion.
