Notch is, at this very moment, participating in the Ludum Dare, live! This challege is a regular accelerated game development Event. Participants develop games from scratch in a weekend, based on a theme suggested by community. This contest's theme is "escape".
It's down for everyone, if you read Ludumdare creators' twitter, you'd know that their hosting service rebelled on them and they're trying to fix it somehow. No idea how long will it take.
But this is cool anyway, it's good to watch him make a game.
Great! Was the final product any good?
yes it looks very fun!
