Minecraft- Finally Complete!

Minecraft is finally out of beta!

This little sandbox Indie game, was developed by Mojang, a small Swedish Company that was established by the institution himself, Markus “Notch” Persson. Minecraft is primarily Notch’s brain child, though under the umbrella of Mojang, he chose to hire Jens “Jeb” Bergensten (programmer), Daniel Kaplan (the “business guy”), Jakob Porser whose role sees him working mainly on the controversially named “Scrolls” (that’s not because it’s a curse in swedish), and Markus “Junkboy” Toivonen (the game’s artist); all of whom have had a hand in the development of Minecraft. It was released in 2009 in its alpha stage and moved into the beta testing phase on 20th December 2010.
