Boy, you old gaming Geezers have no fucking imagination at all. Notch, I am inspired by your old school, clinky 3d graphics. Save me from the cancer that expects everything to have high detail normal maps, and has so quickly forgotten the spirit minecraft brought us. If you are honestly complaining of the graphics now.. you have.
Can you just pretend that Notch is making you feel young again too? Just for a moment. Remember when you gizzed over quake graphics. try to think that way again, or has the dark side of "13 year old call of duty graphics" infected your gaming soul.

Can someone explain to me what the potential upside is from releasing these? Because if you ask me all it does is invite criticism -- deserved or not.

Its a prototype. It has nothing to do with graphics and they are purposely under developed.
If they're deliberately underdeveloped, then he's an idiot for posting them online. That's pretty much a flagrant violation of Game Marketing 101 there - never give people a less-than-positive impression of your game relative to the plans for it.
You people bitch and moan about games being shrouded in miles and miles of MarketingSpeak, but when someone has a transparent and open development process, you bitch and moan about that too?

Yes. Too many Gen X'ers and Gen Y'ers here. Not enough Millennial Gen blind optimism.
What? Sorry I'm a bit confused as to how your post relates to the seemingly illogical disconnect between hating both marketing-infused and open development processes.
It was just a joke.

Honestly, I think what you're going to see isn't going to be too far removed.

Anyone who doesn't think this is what the game will look like is nuts. He's a one trick pony. Nuff said.

Well, these graphics serve no purpose unless building out of cubes.
As others have said, though, it's way too early to be concerned about graphics.

The simplistic blocks worked in Minecraft because it was a sandbox game. The blocky shapes made the game accessible to anyone who has ever played with toy blocks as a child.
0x10 sounds like much more an actual game with mechanics rather than a sandbox "do anything".
He said it would involve "hard science", accessing onboard systems, fixing things. Isn't possible to achieve that without bumbling around in these cube like graphics?
If he isn't a one trick pony, perhaps he can devise an alternate 2D tiled way of doing the graphics that still allow customisation. I mean, how many space ship interiors can you really design using just 1 meter x 1 meter cubes?
It's a good thing this game doesn't involve building things out of cubes then. (Well, you could, but your shit would be pretty ugly.)

I'm not sure what he's trying to show off here. It looks like placeholder stuff for testing the lighting engine. Why even waste time posting this?
