I feel like I've fallen into a hole. There's jargon everywhere, I'm not sure if I'm in the middle of some sort of satirical art experiment.

Can anyone explain what is going on?

Apparently it is a fake reverse engineering report to support a programming game which, i'm guessing, is about to go live? see http://www.kalzumeus.com/2015/08/20/designing-and-building-s...
This reminds me of when 0x10c was announced :)

That was such a let down in the end...
Good thing this is made by people who have already proved what they were worth. I love Notch but he never seemed like a "worker" type. He was just having fun until it was no longer fun.
10 years of indie game dev resulting in Minecraft isn't proof the guy can work hard?
Setting the bar a little high for us, aren't you?
Well this is just the image I have of Notch. He was just goofing around with mini-games. One became ultra famous. Lots of people got involved and it exploded from there, not really in his control.

Doesn't mean the game is not great, doesn't mean he's not skilled. Maybe I'm just sour about all his talk on 0x1c before giving up.

It's approximately in the style of 2600 or cDc, if that helps. If it doesn't, wikipedia will.
Thank you!
