The guys over at Mojang have the weekend to design, test and release a game and for your donations - you can have it!

It started not too long ago and they're planning right now. They have decided to take votes on genre and theme, and then they take the highest and lowest from each tier, making this game...

An RTS shoot 'em up in Steampunk Ancient Egypt.

As of now they have no idea that an RTS shoot 'em up would basically be a tower defense game with user control.

[King Ellis]

Aww, I wanted a Peter Molinuex something or orther.

[Katsuya]

I wanted to see the racing game because I want to play a good racing game...especially if it had RTS implemented in their somehow.

I love how shooting is the only thing that gets 'em-up as a suffix. Personally, I was hoping for a platform-'em-up. Set in ancient Sumeria. Except steampunk.

[MDK]

So this is a 24 hour nerd cam?

[King Ellis]

No, don't be stupid.

It's a 60 hour nerd cam!

Beat-'em-up?

[apsham]

Spank'em up?

Break-his-neck?

[Skummy]

Yeah, "beat 'em up" gets the "'em up" suffix. A lot of UK games magazines used to add "'em up" to random genre descriptions back in the day - I still do it sometimes myself.

[MDK]

Stealth-em-up.

[Katsuya]

I'm a bit put off by the fact that as it stands, the game seems to have no RTS elements to it, no Steampunk and generally doesn't seem to have changed in the past 16 hours apart from the main character now looks like Notch with a hat.

[apsham]

I miss what the vision for the game was - but I'm sure from what I saw, they're just playtesting the characters right now.

[Herr Matzat]

I think the RTS Steampunk part will come in some context of building stuff on the railswais. It looks good enough for a weekends work.

I´ed be more interested in the second game wen it comes to the question of whats going on. They dident even release on build yet.

[Katsuya]

The game is called Catacomb Snatch, which...disturbs me slightly.

[Herr Matzat]

I don´t fully get it, you have to build a railroad in a pyramid. I don´t know how to buy stuff at my camp and the amount of monsters seems a bit overwelming. But all in all it´s a very nice looking game for a weekends worth of work.

Is this already the finale build? Uncompiled, only as a jar?

[KevinStorm]

The speed that these people have at what they're doing is amazing. It's like they don't even have to think about it.

[Herr Matzat]

They also released the sourcecode, so i am shure this will evolve in much more.

[Redefine Sick]

Considering they still haven't gotten minecraft right after over a year, I wouldn't pay anything for a game they developed in a single weekend.

Yeah, fuck those charities.

Oh yeah and Minecraft sucks because they (didn't change/changed) the thing that I (liked/didn't like).
