Canceled Mojang project was a first-person shooter

4.6
Mojang, the studio in front of the man behind Minecraft, was working on a first-person shooter with another company, Markus "Notch" Persson tells Joystiq. The collaboration and the project itself is now completely dead, Notch confirms, following today's news of a mysterious cancellation.

The FPS was killed off in the prototype stage, not because it wasn't turning into a good game, but because Mojang "did not want more external dependencies," Notch says. "The success of Minecraft meant we could focus on projects fully owned by us."

Future collaborations aren't out of the question for Mojang, as long as they're "not to make money. If there are other reasons to collaborate, maybe!"

upd8 This is dissapointing, they should just continue it and make it like a 160 msp game in the market place and they never update it, so they can just make more cash and worry about minecraft at the same time. simple


If Mojang DID make a FPS, it would probably look exactly like castle miner z. It would be pretty bad.


that game wasn't all too great...


How much was Castle Miner Z? I've heard of it, never played it or saw it.


I don't remember, but it couldn't have been too much, not more then 10 bucks on the marketplace


It was an indie game worth 240msp so around 3-4 dollars.

CastleMiner Z was good to play before Minecraft came out for Xbox.


Ehh... Not really. It was a good copy for a couple days... But it's not that good of a game.


it wasn't i grew bored with it within an hour or two

I sorta like it but like you said it did get boring after a while. :/
