Molyneux's first indie game dated

Im very curious about this project. However Peter Molyneux made a lot of crazy comments in the past so I hope this wont be another Bul.....

Not related to 22Cans but if someone knows what happened to Milo's project, would be glad to hear about it.
This was very impressive (but probably fake), and I don't know why if such technology exists, we don't use it to replace Siri :)

Maybe at the centre there's a promise Molyneux will actually keep =P

If the game of chipping away is fun, then the center represents the end of fun, in which case you want another cube to be at the center.

If the game of chipping away is the antithesis of fun, then the center will be comprised of closure, no matter what texture/animation/etc you will receive as reward.

In the end, neither the way, nor the actual goal, will provide satisfaction, as both are inherently flawed depending on which motivation you have while playing. One will always ruin the other. At best you have fun playing the game and it resets upon completion.


The only curiosity being satisfied is that of Mr. Molyneux. He gets a very precise measurement on how much money you can make by trying to milk the emotion of curiosity with what sounds like simplistic gameplay. Curiosity is not an emotion that takes center stage in most big selling video games, even though it is the most mainstream format in TV.

The only ways I ever the center appear on the news is either because people all over the world chipping has turned into a pop culture phenomenon, or the information contained within the cube is scandalous in nature. One is a gamble, one can be constructed artificially.

@Hugo: it was a hoax. We hardly have the technology to simulate a mouse's brain, let alone a human child. The project was abandoned, if you can say that speaking of something that never existed.

Edit: Most indie games are natively playable on Linux. Anyone knows what's Molyneux position to this regard?

As Michele said, Milo was proved to be a hoax (I do respect Molyneux, but him slapping his name on something so deceitful was really bad). As for this, I completely agree with Klaus's assessment. Nothing good will come of this. It either begins with tedium or ends with disappointment.

"The game will be coming to PC, Android, and iOS."

I think Peter even himself called it an experiment, not a game.

In the center there will be the $50.000 diamond pickaxe

That would be fun

A cheque for a percentage of all the money everyone has paid in microtransactions.

Although that works on the same principle as the lottery and therefore is gambling.
