I tried looking for videos of people playing through the story. All I found were builders and a weird game of hide-and-seek.
Thanks to an accidentally drawn line I decided to try a new haircut for Leon. I kind of like it but we’ll see if anyone cares.
Back on topic a live-action version of Minecraft should be all the proof you need about something I’ve been bringing up in articles the past few years. Hollywood hates animation. Whether it’s cartoons, comics, or video games Hollywood thinks nothing is good unless it’s in live-action. However, whatever lore Minecraft may or may not have it’s the blocky art style that makes it Minecraft. It serves the look of various places, adds to the challenge of building things compared to a more “normal” design system in an online game like Second Life or a 3D graphic program like Blender, and even affects game play from what I can tell. Lose all that and is it even still Minecraft? Especially given how little Hollywood cares about accurate adaptation and just wants to use something popular as a cheap marketing gimmick. I hope the games fans are prepared to not recognize this movie. The rest of us learned that lesson the hard way, especially when it comes to bad video game adaptations.
