This week has seen some interesting developments! We take a look at Mojang's latest hire, a few new games - namely, Oxeye's latest gem, Cobalt - a rolling, shooting, fast-paced and highly entertaining platform shooter - and Notch's Ludum Dare entry, an amusing romp through what could easily be interpreted as the prelude to Minecraft's rather elusive back-story - take a look!

It's great to see Mojang improving and getting new staff. Same as Cobalt also.

What else did I miss could they look forward to...or maybe they will invent a new class of game!?

Mojang isn't too special anymore. I am in it for minecraft, the other games don't look too fun or creative.

Agreed, I miss when new Minecraft features were announced weekly. And there's still no news on mod support.

How many employees work at Mojang? It's got to be under 30 or so. It isn't very big of a company is it?

Tell Curse to pronounce it "Mo-dzhang". In Swedish, Mo-yangh makes sense. But when the rest is in English, "Mo-dzhang" makes more sense.

Also, when he says "Minecraft cum Zelda" he pronounces "cum" as... well... yeah, but it should be pronounced correctly as "coom".

I laughed at the top comment. It would be cool to work with Mojang, but I only know how to make models. Just the models, nothing else.

I always thought the j in Mojang was pronounced like job, jack, jeans etc, until I heard them pronounced it at minecon.

Yeah, I think Minecraft will be Mojang's only major success.

I'm pretty sure Minecraft is it's own class of game. It's not really a MMORPG.
