Minecraft clone coming to Xbox Live Indie Games: FortressCraft
The game, which is (perhaps cheekily) titled FortressCraft, will be broken down into seven chapters to be released every four to six weeks. In a post on the Minecraft forums, a Projector representative explained, "Chapter 1 is basically Minecraft's Creative, Chapter 2 adds in crafting, Chapter 3 adds in life, Chapter 4 adds in machinery, Chapter 5 adds in Minions, Chapter 6 adds in PvP, Chapter 7 adds in Fortress Assault mode... (or whatever)." According to the FortressCraft Twitter account, the first chapter is due out next Friday, March 4 for 80 Microsoft Points ($1).
Each of these Chapters contains the features of previous installments -- a workaround for the platform's inability to patch in new updates. It sounds like a pretty ambitious (if not fairly original) undertaking for the developer. Whether the studio receives the support needed to complete all seven chapters -- or whether litigious sources intercede -- remains to be seen.

-Brad-s_Fanboy-TTG-HAGGIS-UnknowModder this is going to be a complete fail, let notch make it for xbox and it will be awesome but don't let other people "ripp off" the game for xbox it will be failure. :?
Hate to burst your ill informed bubble but notch actually stole the idea of another game called infiniminer
how exactly is that relevant? noch still made the best most popular version, nobody will be able to copy it for xbox but him.
Guys there not clones, the games are really different. FIrst person shooters have been done many times, many with very similar engines. Also Brad, notch isn't an independent and he probably doesn't program for xbox 360 that well.
