A developer remaking Minecraft for older consoles such as the Wii, GameCube, and Dreamcast has shared a progress update on the engine they're building, and it looks incredible.
Dubbed the Meese Engine, the developer, known as Meesedev on Twitter, has stated that their goal is to use Minecraft beta 1.7.3 as a design reference to build an engine that can handle voxel-based games. Once the technology has been made, they'll replace all the Minecraft assets with original ones so that they can make a new game that surpasses Minecraft "in both gameplay and graphical fidelity." They've already managed to get 25 million blocks in just 24 MB of RAM, so I'm excited to see how far they can go.
