http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/08/notch-0x10c-2013-08-19-01-1376889789.jpgAfter suffering a “creative block” with development of his 0x10c project](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/15/minecraft-creator-shows-test-footage-of-0x10c/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget), Markus “Notch” Persson has definitively killed the idea, saying he has “no future aspirations” for it. The keenly anticipated game involved space travelers who wake up after an eons-long hypersleep and have to deal with enemies and other problems aboard their spaceship. He broke the news to disappointed fans on a livestream, but some have decided to keep the idea alive via community effort called Project Trillek. While they’d drop the whole cryosleep bit, the team would keep the concept of a crew navigating space and managing their craft with a 16-bit CPU, Minecraft-style. We’re glad it’s not dead yet, but whether it can survive the vacuum of a Notch-less space remains to be seen.
