Back in early July, shortly after a new Friday Update had been released (or shortly before, i can't remember), Notch was talking to those present in the IRC and answering our loads of questions.
Remember - even if this is the game Mojang is working on, this is info from July. The specifics might've changed by now.
At one point he mentioned the new game idea he had and planned to work on under Mojang. He said it would be based off of Minecraft's base, and it would be in space. The rest I was able to snag a screencap of.
Although we're all looking forward to the new game, something like this appeals to me more than anything (I think), being a Freelancer and EVE fan.
Discuss.
P.S.
Sorry it took me so long to tell anybody about this. I posted in on my community's Minecraft boards way back when it happened and forgot about it once the thread died down. Whatever, still something interesting.
The fact that he said "Yes, but good." in response to my question if it would be Elite-style threw me off, because Elite and the games that have spawned as a result are great. So if it's better than that, it must be amazing.
There is already a minecraft style game set in space. Tbh, if Notch made something like that it would be too closely related to miner wars to be as unique and enjoyable as minecraft.

I saw it in a thread, but I'm too lazy to look for it.

would be epic.
It must be...

Oh really, never knew.
Maybe it's space related as in colonization of planets?
Using minecraft's base means he wants to...
What the-!? A solar system generation!?
So then mini maps of planets, with some sort of unit system for generating the planet itself... Then space, then more planets in the same idea...
Real-time strategy Minecraft?..
..well..nah!..
