More details have begun to trickle out on Swedish developer Mojang Studios' first Xbox 360 title, a Kinect-enabled port of indie hit Minecraft. Beyond the fact that it'll be some form of indirect port and that an unnamed developer other than Mojang was at the helm, few other details were known, but as Minecraft creative lead Markus "Notch" Persson revealed on his Twitter feed last night, Scottish devs 4J Studios are apparently in charge of this holiday's world-builder.

If you, like us, are unfamiliar with 4J, a cursory Wikipedia'ing reveals work on a wealth of ports, not to mention a handful of not-so-well-known original games. Hopefully any worry you have in the studio's confidence is abated by the fact that Notch will remain a game designer on the project, presumably retaining creative oversight.

ooo dam. Out of all the titles, this is probably the one that will make me want to buy a kinect, hehehe.

Minecraft? Kinect? Really Really? How will this work? I checked out some gameplay footage for Minecraft the other day and I can't see Kinect working with that. Not badmouthing it, actually hope that it succeeds. Just curious to know how they will make it work.

well if it's how I'm picturing it, arms are going to get incredibly tired with the hacking motion with pickaxe, axe, sword etc.

Will be quite a workout...

I look forward to seeing how Minecraft (kept typing Mincecraft eh) will be using Kinect. In fact, I can't wait to see how many of the announced Kinect games will work.

Lets hope for the best.

Also: For some reason I was thinking Minesweeper hehe(was liek WTF?)
