Independent game developer Mojang AB announces that its popular game sold 500,000 units. The game, developed chiefly by Mojang founder Markus Persson, is a sandbox building game that allows users to build objects using textured cubes in a 3-D world.
Minecraft's gameplay pays homage to games such as Dwarf Fortress, RollerCoaster Tycoon, and Dungeon Keeper. Despite being in the alpha stage of development, the game continues to sell at a brisk pace and enjoys an active registered user base of 1.5 million users.
Mojang plans to release a massive Halloween update this weekend. The update adds new features such as the underworld area called The Slip, bug fixes and gameplay tweaks. The new area enables players to teleport long distances in the real world, and some other long requested features and fixes.
More information on the Halloween update is available at minecraft.net.
