So that's where the idea came from, playing these games and looking for something a bit more RPG-ish.' So the idea of just taking that kind of Minecraft kind of gameplay and crossing it with Diablo, where I have random levels, random monsters, random loot, I just wanted to play that game. They're kinda sandbox-y games without much point.įor me, I wanted to put a structure on top of it, tell a little bit of a story, make it an RPG, give the thing depth, have character classes.

I love the world, the randomization, I love all of these things, but they just felt kind of shallow and goal-less. And all of these games lack something, the depth that I was looking for. I really enjoy watching other people play it, but I just don't like to play it myself. And I played a little bit of Terraria, but I had problems with the UI and I could just never get into it, but I've watched many people stream it for hours and hours.

I played a lot of this game called Starbound that I really liked. 'I've played an absurd amount of Minecraft.
