Minecraft is the favorite game of many, what is the secret of its success? The Freedom that gives its players to create and enjoy at ease

Minecraft has captured the imagination of the players of this era. A video game with seemingly simple graphics conceals an astonishing depth.

The success of this game is the result of freedom. Both for the players and for the developers.

Markus "Notch" Persson, has become the epitome of the successful Indie developer of video games. But while it has been he who has given a huge boost to the move Indie. The truth is that the movement was growing by leaps and bounds before him.

Freedom in Minecraft

However Notch understood something that many other video game developers had not understood (and have not understood yet). And they are the immense possibilities of the imagination of the players. Although Minceraft does not have the most spectacular graphics, the combination of self-generated worlds and the patience and dedication of its community manages to create authentic dream landscapes.

Literally changing the game at will.

Of course not everyone has the ability or the time to devote to creating these works of art. More even the humblest player enjoys making his own creations in this world.

Besides the mods, and the exchange of "seeds" makes things much easier. That's right, many times those spectacular landscapes that we see in Minecraft have been very edited even before opening the game.

The Heirs of Minecraft

The world of video games does not stop. We continually see new games appear based on previous concepts. Minecraft is not different. A series of "heirs" have already appeared who want to win the crown. But do they manage to measure up? Well, yes and no.

On the one hand we have games that take advantage of the ideas of the self-generation of worlds. And they present us with amazing worlds created automatically. This is the case of games like Creativerse or Trove. The problem arises when you want to get money. Because that is when they restrict the player to force him to spend.

Okay, we know we can not expect everything to be free. But I think there are better ways to take advantage of the Free2Play model.

On the other hand are appearing other games on the horizon that are very interesting. For example Space Engineers, is a game that takes many of the concepts of Minecraft and takes them to a Science Fiction setting.

In order that it is clear that Minecraft is only the beginning, interesting times are coming.
