For the past couple of weeks, Marcus 'Notch' Persson, the creator of Minecraft, has been dropping hints about a new game that he is developing. Today, Marcus announced on Twitter that the game is formally known as 0x10c and that a web site has been launched for this game at http://0x10c.com/. 0x10c is a space game where spacefarers from 1988 enter deep sleep and wake up at the unintended year of 281,474,976,712,644 AD to discover that the Universe is on the brink of extinction. The Ox10 game's features will include:
- Hard science fiction
