Infinite Browser Universe Manyland Hits 8 Million Placed Blocks

Posted by timothy on from the pretty-big-place-you've-got-here dept.

j_philipp (803945) writes Manyland [Here's the twitter feed and a FAQ] is an HTML5 / JavaScript-based MMO universe created by a community and two indie developers from Europe. Everything in the world can be freely drawn and placed: From the cars, animals, plants, houses, bridges, to everyone's own bodies. Like Wikipedia, by default areas are editable by everyone (and removing a block leaves dust which can be used to undo the removal). Since the opening a year ago, over 100,000 different creations have been made, and now, over 8 million blocks placed. Some features are for logged-in users only, but the whole thing is free to explore for everyone, and it's just sucked away quite a few minutes for me.

    This is Minecraft reduced to a 2D sidescroller. With the graphics of the 2D sidescroller era.

    If you go too far down, you can fall off the bottom of the world.
