i've been thinking about it and pretty much the only technologies at the moment that could change anything would be: - huge battery/power innovation that lets engineers just go loving wild because energy constraints are out the window - an in-air screenless display technology everything else is just incremental poo poo

another innovative thing, I think, would be data compression. can we make games smaller? they will download faster and take up less space.

duTrieux. posted:minecraft 2 if they just replaced the Java version with a desktop build of the C++ port that's used for consoles and mobile, the performance benefit alone would let them call it 2.0 they're probably doing something crazier though like porting the Java to C# so it'll run on .NET instead—as a Metro app maybe?—and use MEF for mods. they've already announced Visual Studio support for building Minecraft mods, though right now the first step is "get a JDK from Oracle" if you want use it

if ntfs is compressing things why should I care? also why are you compressing anything? disk is basically free

because either youre constrained for performance on a platter or space on an ssd and properly packing resources means you're pulling data faster off the slowest component of your computer
