Minecraft Updates, Gameplay: Looser Clothes For Zombies, Repairs Made
Mojang, the Stockholm-based game developer responsible for Minecraft, has just announced several updates to their wildly popular “open world” video game.
Among the changes are looser clothes for their zombie, because the old one “were so tight they couldn’t walk.” Other changes include repairs to memory leaks, a slight rebalancing of tools and weapons and supplanting the game with more experimental performance enhancements.
There have been two updates in the last three months for the XBOX 360 version of the game, and there is yet another coming soon.
Minecraft, which has been touted as an educational breakthrough in video game entertainment since its 2009 debut, has been available on the XBOX 360 since 2013. Commenting on the quality of the updates, Nerogadget suggests that if the XBOX 360 version of Minecraft does not start to improve their updates, Mojang likely will risk losing these gamers.
Outside of small game updates there is a major change coming to Minecraft.
As reported in The Verge, Telltale Games is working on a new title that aims to bring a more traditional narrative to the Minecraft universe, called Minecraft: Story Mode.
The first of five episodes of Story Mode will debut later this year.
“The desire to tell stories in the world of Minecraft isn’t necessarily new, it comes from the community, and we’re huge fans and part of that community ourselves,” said Job Stauffer, director of creative communications at Telltale Games.
"We know what it’s like to craft, to hunt, to build, to survive, and to play with friends and grow a community. ... But imagining those ideas as happening through living characters in conversations -- friends trying to stick together, aspiring to do something legendary, or simply trying to have fun building something together -- it becomes a completely different way of experiencing everything you’ve already done in this universe, or perhaps even things you have yet to do.”
