Silly me. I was hoping Biomes would be massive stretches of land so you can find yourself standing out in the middle of them and stare out over nothing but cold or desert as far as the eye could see, and know there is still even more cold or desert for what seems like forever in any given direction.
Seems like Biomes are instead tiny... =|
and no floating island biomes or oceanic biomes either....
Well at least I can still look forward to hell... That'll be interesting right... Right?
Certainly hope so since it doesn't really seem to serve a purpose now other then to make maps needlessly huge.
If I had to guess, I'd say that they were probably made smallish for testing purposes, and may get bigger for the actual release. May as well just wait until the thing's actually released before getting too disappointed by hypotheticals.
I suppose he did say the biomes in the video weren't final but I also get the impression he's just working on fine tuning more then any major differences between what he has now and will have in the end.
I can comfort myself, though, knowing I'm probably not the only person who wants biomes to be massive and there will probably be a plugin for persistently generated biomes before too terribly long.

I completely agree with you. I hope the biomes are much larger as I think it'd be silly to have a castle be halfway in a desert and halfway in the snow because it doesn't fit any other way.

No single biome from that video would cover the entire castle i'm currently using as a base. Conceivably I could have it's fat ass poking into five or six other biomes while sitting centered on one.
Apparently stating your disappointments with current developments in the game and concerns about future updates isn't something you post in this forum.
My bad.
I'll go remake the topic somewhere where Notch's fankids don't get all butthurt when someone expresses displeasure with something Notch is doing.
I have no problem with people expressing their opinions about things, however my problem with the thread came with all of your sarcasm.
Thats fine. I know its easy for people to dislike things they have trouble understanding. :wink.gif:

Silly me.
Here you are insinuating that you have looked forward to things and been disappointed by notch on many different occasions.
You mean like when he got rid of the terrain type selection list? You remember when we were able to generate entire maps of nothing but floating islands, right? Or when he purposefully tried to destroy our ability to use plugins to fly?
Yeah... Yeah... Good times.

Here you show off your lack of trust in Notch having any other good updates at all.
It means I'm leery of the idea that hell alone is worth the month long wait.

It's one thing to be disappointed, it's another to 'attack' some one.
aaaaaaaand here we come to the heart of the matter.

Stop attacking Notch! BAWWWWWWW
Look, kid, Its cute you worship Britney Spears and all but the fact is hes a grown man and can take care of himself.
I know... You want to be a superhero when you grow up. And thats precious, but Notch can take snide criticism in stride, I promise you.
So why don't you finish getting your books together and get on that short bus for me? You'll be late for schooooool <3 .
I am here to remind everyone that there's nothing wrong with posting about aspects of the game or game development that you're unsatisfied with. I would like everyone to respect the original poster's right to have opinions, and not just post to say something like 'cry more'. Also, things seem to be getting slightly argumentative from both sides, and that's not what we want, either. Discuss, do not argue, please.
This game is in alpha bro, most things are never perfect the first time and they take time to hash out.
This forum is ripe with QQ'ing.
I felt this needed a nice restating. Although its understandably easy to forget, a lot people need to press F3 while playing and read what it says on the top left.

That doesn't seem to imply they'll get very much bigger. =|

Relax, kid. No one needs your permission. Or are people going to start getting banned for complaining, now?
I think it'd be cool if we could specify our own biome sizes, types, and even whether or not we want to use biomes, at all.
My bad.

Trolling comment:
really dude it is notch's game and he decides and you don't deserve to criticize him. Why don't you code a game that has the features you like.
