Notch on 0x10c: "I might possibly start over, because... it's not fun."

In a recent interview with The Penny Arcade Report, Notch talks about his new game: 0x10c. He says "There's a physics engine you can walk around and a room builder thing, so it's kind of playable, but it's nowhere near it's final. Which is frustrating . . . . . . And I might possibly start over, because it feels like... it's not fun, the stuff you're actually doing. If it's not fun to walk around the spaceship then the game isn't fun. So I need to figure out and try to, not necessarily gamify, but add more instant gratifaction."

Later on in the interview he goes on to say "I always miss my terms, but I'm hoping to get something done in like 6 months . . . . . preferably even sooner. It depends on how much flow I get. If I find something that's actually fun, like running around and repairing something is fun, then I just sit an entire week and work on it, so it might be faster. If I keep running into problems, which are very boring and I have to do this and it's not gaming, then it's going to take way longer."

He also mentions some things about putting minecraft on steam. He says "I think Steam is a very good service for the customers. The only thing I don't like is they reserve the right to all your games and account, which is bullshit. I understand the legal reasons, and they have to do it for their partners, and I don't think they're going to do anything, they're not going to remove it. But having that constant threat is not cool . . . . . I'm constantly debating whether or not we should put it up on steam or not."
