Am I the only one who's worried that Notch won't be able to get all of this done by October 31st? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE these features. But even if he does get it done on time, is there not a reasonable chance that it will be a rushed update that won't meet our expectations?

This is what I was worried about too.
I'm not trolling or dissing Notch, but it seems to me, that these features are what everyone has been wanting (mostly). It's like a dream come true, and I'm hesitant to accept that it might actually happen.
To me it just seems like he's giving us everything we ever wanted, and after a slightly disappointing couple of weeks, I'm a little hesitant to get my hopes up. Notch isn't able to see the future, and there's no telling what might come up or how much longer his business-related stuff will keep him busy.
I really hope Notch proves my fears wrong and puts me in my place.
C'mon, this isn't a sonic game, it's minecraft. Most of the changes are simple. The only big one is biomes, and like someone said, he already got most of that done.
A month to complete all that is enough time. He has most of biomes done, and probably some of the others. As far as I can tell, biomes is by far the hardest thing to do there.
You guys really need to look at his youtube account - Nizzzotch, or something. He has timelapses of him making entire games in a matter of just days.
As for whether it will meet expectations, who knows? There are so many different and diverse people it's just about impossible to make everybody completely happy. Personally, I just want a swamp. So I can build a castle in it. And then it will sink, and I can build a castle on that. And then that one will sink, and I can build a third castle on top of that.
I've seen far more done in far less time with far less money being traded between parties.
This is largely child's play considering the stuff that is already done.
The longest part of the entire endeavor will be wading through the ******** between now and then.
Conversely I'm apparently the only person in the planet that can afford to do something other than play minecraft and so the wait doesn't hurt at all. I am being hyperbolic of course, the vast majority of people aren't complaining.
Didn't he just hire some new staff, or atleast in the process of it? 2-3 dedicated programmers working on this 8 hours a day, 5 days a week... we will be able to expect Friday Updates EVERY Friday.
Haha, you guys shouldn't be worried about deadlines. Especially when Notch is the one who sets them. A month is more than enough time for him to do all of this, and I wouldn't be surprised if we got more than a few extras with it.
I've been playing this game from the start, and I'm here to tell you that Notch is a ****ing machine, kids. He's been distracted with making a company, but he can make games like I can make a sandwich. Once the company is situated, expect mass-delivery of awesome.

I hope you make good sandwitches.
I hope that the list is what's going to be updated BY halloween. I hope it's not one ultra update.
The sheer fact that he set himself a deadline makes me think he will try his best, or will get it done, if he doesn't get everything in, its not that he was lazy its not that he didn't want to, it was the fact that he just couldn't either from getting completely bored of coding, or business stuff. Owning, and starting a business is NOT easy ****, it takes for most people almost a year or so to get a business in good standings.

Cool story bro. Please make a thread somebody cares about next time.

Son, I can make a sandwich that will destroy anything you think you know about taste. Worlds begin and end within my sandwiches. Did you think your tongue couldn't lose its virginity? If the sheer flavor-rape leaves you with the ability to whistle at all, you'll be whistling a different tune after this sandwich.

Sorry bro, when you put the torches down I figured you didn't want them anymore so I took them.

He's got a month, I've seen him add just as many new things in such a timeframe in Minecraft's past.
I really hope Notch proves my fears wrong and puts me in my place.
I agree, even with the recent lack of updates he's been doing a great job about keeping to deadlines. I have full faith in his abilities.
As for whether it will meet expectations, who knows? There are so many different and diverse people it's just about impossible to make everybody completely happy. Personally, I just want a swamp. So I can build a castle in it. And then it will sink, and I can build a castle on that. And then that one will sink, and I can build a third castle on top of that.
And then Lancelot can come and wreck my ****.
