It's from last August, but when it gets close to release I say we reach out to him. The man has over 600k followers. Talk about exposure!

IIRC Notch also got to playtest the game.

Wouldn't be surprised if he gives another tweet once it gets out.

Now that I didn't know. Guess it pays to be a multi-millionaire indie game producer, huh?

Or multi-millionaire anything for that matter.

Notch has kindly tweeted of the game a few times and given our server a good beating in the process :D

And yes, we gave him a build to try out too: https://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/149388331589963776

He also mentioned it in his blog awhile ago, which is how I initially found out about Grimrock.

Well, especially in multiplayer Minecraft occasionally gets that dungeon crawler feeling: Having to navigate trough endless corridors dug by other people, having no clue what you will eventually encounter. Player lairs, mobspawners, player-made traps and contraptions, big pools of lava, diamond (yay). I can see where dungeon crawler fans and minecraft fans overlap :)

Not a fan of Minecraft personally, but I think it's pretty cool that the guy is using his popularity to promote and raise awareness of other indie games.

Yeah, he's a good chap and also seems to be genuinely nice guy :) I think quite a few indie studios have been born because of Notch.
