That's a shame. I guess this game would progress more quickly if it could leverage Minecraft's engine, since it looks the concept is nearly the same.

Leveraging "a bit of a runny mess" doesn't sound like it would make progress quicker. And, once the voxel rendering is implemented, is there that much more for this game to borrow from Minecraft?
I hope they borrow ambient occlusion. It makes it possible to see the edge of a voxel that's in front of an identically colored voxel, and makes the whole game much easier on the eyes.
Well I was speaking of the rendering engine only, so yes that would be an advantage. A joint effort maybe :) I dunno I'm just thinking out loud.
