hate to be rude but didnt he say soon like last year.... i kid soaryn just am having a hard time waiting
he probably did...
honestly, hard time waiting?
meh...
by now, there REALLY should be a new release...
After some of what I've read, yeah...
I hate to say this is following much the same road as Redpower went down...
And just like Redpower...someone is remaking it! http://minecraft.curseforge.com/mc-mods/230281-project-x
Hey Soaryn, think you can get out an update before this recreation is finished? Will you accept the challenge?
hmm...
well, let's wait and see
According to Soaryn's Twitter, other than the 2 tweets he made today, all other keystrokes had gone to working on Xycraft. Here's hoping then.
hmm...ok then
i guess
still, if he keeps adding/planning new features, chances are slim to none it does get finished, as minecraft updates and fixing bugs in the current features will almost surely crush him!
Why don't you make a wiki on wikia? That way, you have a wiki that works.
a new wiki would be a good idea...
far as i'm concerned, wikihow can die in a fire for their decision
He had been burned out on coding from school and his coding classes. But now his finals and everything are finished/finishing he is beginning work on XYcraft again. from his twitter it seems he is doing a bunch of recoding and such now that he has learned a lot from previously mentioned classes. Id imagine a lot of bugs and optimizations are being made in the process.
He's a mad man with a box
can i get a link to the twitter so i can follow it?
-edit-
nevermind i found it x.x
i really hope he does finish this mod, ive never seen blocks that look so good, and the animations were the best ive seen in MC
yeah, that'd be nice
indeed it was probably all those animations and fancy blocks that pulled people in
i've never cared about its more technical or utility side, actually...
just the awesome sparkly blocks!
i came across project x last night, it was the remake of xycraft. i should of downloaded it when i had the chance....
i went to get it today and got a 404 error =\
http://www.curse.com/mc-mods/minecraft/230281-project-x
that was the link it was on but i think this convo today may of pushed the other guy to remove it?
after a few google searchs i found these links as well but also a 404's
http://www.curse.com/mc-mods/minecraft/230281-project-x/2237674
http://minecraft.curseforge.com/mc-mods/230281-project-x
regardless im blown =\
why are all the good mods or their abillity to be enjoyed dying?
especially by their own authors
The Aether was never updated till just recently, and still isn't stable
eloraam did her redpower mod in from bad decision-making far as i'm concerned
xycraft is not being developed in a logical manner, and now looks like its clone has died
buildcraft "balanced" things...
mine little brony seems to have died. and its performance was destroyed after being ported to forge.
various other mods have walked-down similar paths, but rather not make the list...
oh, and my favorite: an over-rated mod forcing a smaller, emerging mod right into the shadows. search "minecraft crystal dimension mod" two results... one is from orespawn (and sucks, imho...) , and another is just an individual crystal dimension mod that had a good thing going. Looks to me the latter has faded into obscurity, though
i really hope xycraft continues on...
i've not yet gotten to play this mod, only seen it on youtube, and looks like poor development protocol and the clone suddenly mysteriously dying will finish it off for good. Also, i blame wikihow for this. for anyone who doesn't/can't check here, or any of the other places soaryn might post, losing its entire wiki to a decision made soley of greed will help drive the final nail into the coffin, and xycraft will be no more.
@Soaryn:
if you're reading this:
PLEASE TAKE A BREAK FROM NEW FEATURES...
You really need to focus on stabilizing what's already there, and then making a release, etc...
Adding new features is fine, except that everything starts to suffer when they're the ONLY thing being done.
Minecraft 1.8 is out, and 1.9 is most likely right around the corner...
The MOST important thing right now is to get xycraft to even WORK for the current, and upcoming version(s) of minecraft.
Now, I can't speak for everyone, but I'd be more than pleased with an update that just finally brings your mod to 1.8 or 1.7
I don't care about all the new features, I'd rather see this mod be sustained then watch it die from over-burden caused by adding too many new things at once.
As another suggestion: github. You could gain a lot of contributors and suggestions through that, and get bug reports, lotsa good things... and especially if you want to add a ton of stuff, having more people would really benefit your mod. Just a thought.
well, thanks
(not sure how that voting works, though...lol)
i agree
i don't even care much about the technical part.
I want the shiny blocks!
lol
also, 1.9 is INDEED around the corner, now...
Well, we'll see what happens...
I'm thinking of making a resource pack with just the xycoridite block textures if I can figure it out...(so far, cannot... all i have is a texture sheet and a bunch of class files to de-compile and magically understand... lol)
IDK if I'd release that, though...i'd expect a copyright takedown, and/or copyright trolls, Since this has happened to both xycraft's clone and another would-be mod aimed at just a few of the mod's iconic aspects.
I just want those blocks, dangit!
it is times like these that i have the utmost hate for forge...
they basically OWN minecraft modding, now...
they killed ALL the competition, and i've heard lies as of late spread that vanilla mods are illegal.
(in which case, forge, itself, is HIGHLY illegal)
Let's face it: forge is DOOMED to remain AGES behind updates.
But my point is not with the consideration of forge's lag behind updates.
It is that XYCRAFT is EONS behind Mojang, and since no official announcements have been made in AGES, it is even behind forge!
I have read some of those user comments concerning the status of xycraft...
And I'm growing rather skeptical, and frustrated...
And I KNOW Soaryn does some things that certainly aren't related to this mod in ANY way. While I cannot say what percentage of his activities are or are not related to xycraft, I am starting to feel suspicious about some things.
I am aware that forge, even, is behind mc updates, but this mod is considerably more so...
Realistically, there's NO reason for it to take this long, unless scope creep or generally poor time/resource management is involved, or if some OTHER priority in life has rendered it IMPOSSIBLE to work on. In either case, proper notification of WHAT is going on SHOULD have been given. It has not
just "I'm streaming" , or "I'm working on it" Even Eloraam kep the public pretty well-informed of what was going on with redpower! Soayrn with Xycraft so far has been "oh, it'll be <THIS> version, soon, I promise!" By now, there needs to either be a release, or a clone (he killed it) , or cancellation needs to be announced. This also isn't earning Soaryn any P.R. points, regardless of his intentions or actual conditions, because a lot of people are starting to feel used and lied to.
That's what I was trying to say.
I am quite aware forge isn't caught-up, either...
But it's much better caught-up than this one mod in particular has shaped-up to be thus far!
o...k...
I am too tired/possibly sick to replt this bit right now
yeah...
indeed he should follow this advice.
I'm fine
I think, though, that the food from this one Chinese restaurant that my parents visit, and that their service club meets at just screws with my digestive tract. No idea why. Didn't used to... But then again, didn't used to frequent that place, either...
Anyways, From my understanding forge still is quite heavily based on the decompiled MineCraft source code...
That, as-is, is actually pushing within the legal gray area. Given that MineCraft is closed-source proprietary code (and the promise of it ever becoming open-source is definitely now broken/lost that m$ owns it) , That could almost be illegal in itself! Hooking is no definite legal loophole for modifying anything that is closed source. Mods still ultimately are allowed to exist by Mojang, don't forget that. And Forge, alone, is one HUGE mod. Even so, Mojang would be unwise to go after mod authors. Same with ALL rights-holders when it comes to fan content and projects (Something certain companies like BANCAI-Namco, Hasbro, and Nintendumb seem to forget) If you want my blunt opinion: I believe copyright and similar have gone completely rotten and needs to be majorly re-formed, or abolished. Given the fact that people tend to be unreasonable when given such power, the world is better off without that very questionable concept that ANY idea can exclusively be locked away from the rest of the world for the sole benefit of the alleged "creator" of it. This is especially true with software, I'd rather not de-rail this thread further by elaborating my research, thoughts and opinions on everything that's WRONG with copyright, or in the case of computer software: proprietary code, however, so you really want to have that discussion, let's do so in the P.M. system, pls.
Anyways, let's return to the topic of Xycraft before this gets completely out of hand
Gentle_Stream id love to pick your brain some time about this and other research you have done XD
direwolf20 was asked during minecon if "do you know when xycraft is coming out?"
the entire pannel broke out into a laugh
Direwolf20 admits he wanted the question,
one of the guys from curse's reply was isxycraftoutyet.net, [turns out thats not the url]
Direwolf20 then states "i does not know, i dont know if Soaryn knows either"
Soaryn's brother apparently was at minecon and was pointed out by the people taken questions
direwolf20 also said a beta copy has been given out but he did not get it & was hurt by that
one of the other guys suggest everyone should tweet to Soaryn to give direwolf20 a copy
direwolf20 makes it clear none of this was his idea or he wants people todo this
im not sure why Soaryn didnt give him a copy but i have an idea as to why
the link that was ment to be given is isxycraftoutyet.com
the webpage is blank other then this picture
i also did some diging & found out what happened to projectx [the remake of [xy]
TheCricket26 posted a message on Project X
So in essence I am
admitting that is and was 100% original code so no stealing was done. No
really soaryn does not agree. I talked to him for about 2 hours a
couple weeks ago. We are now what I consider friends and I have stopped
this project to work on xycraft when it is released but also because the
community replaced me.
could take me a while, but again, not on this thread...
Presently, I'm trying to do a lot of stuff, some of which is forced, and some of which are my free-time projects.
A friend of mine are quite serious about making an action RPG, now...
(And I get to do most, if not ALL, of the code! xD)
Current progress is: PLANNING...lol
hmm...
There needs to be a public beta copy, and honestly, Direwolf has MORE than earned the right to have a copy, regardless...
With all the reviews and other support/advertising he's given Soaryn.
wow...
kinda troll-ish...
I did the same digging and found the same answer.
Thought I had mentioned in a previous post that Soaryn had something to do with its demise?
That still annoys me, though... if he's not going to release, or delay the release, then others have all the right to try to make a copy.
I don't approve closed-source + copyrighted, commercialized mods, anyways, because to me, that is against EVERYTHING that modding a game is about.
