Notch: Minecraft Updates to Continue “For as Long as People Keep Buying”

After a star-studded, presumably crawling-with-Creepers convention in Vegas, Minecraft has officially put its beta days behind it. That, however, doesn't mean Notch has any intention of letting his gravy train stall out in the station. “I had this goal of where I wanted to take the game, but there’s so much we can add and we keep finding out,” he told IGN. “We’re going to keep working for as long as people keep buying, really.” So then, what's next? “One thing we really wanted to do, which for some reason kind of slipped [through] the cracks, is the mod support, because lots of people are adding really cool stuff and we want to embrace that more,” he explained. Further, he's now hired an AI specialist to breathe some life into Minecraft's braindead villagers. Will they repeatedly spout nonsense about taking arrows to the knee? We can only hope.

I used to think it was fun joking about taking an arrow in the knee, then I took an arrow in the knee.

Heck Ya, keep them updates coming. :)
New A.I. is going to be great.
I would like to see them enhance the combat feature and add the ability to create a gun or a musket of some sort lol.
Just a thought :)
