This is taken from my other topic, it needs it's own topic.

infiniminer is almost like Cube in the fact that you can build and destroy the land in real time. The point of the game is to make a fort of some sort (It rhymes..), then mine gold and diamond and try to get a set amount of money. The game has 4 classes, the Miner, which.. mines, the prospector who prospects for diamonds and whatnot, the Engineer who can build everything, and..erm.. there's a fourth guy who I forgot. Either way, he gets explosives. The game is really really fun, and that screenshot it something I made. This game should honestly work on any PC, because hell, look at the graphics, they look like they came from Doom. Anyway, now the fun part, the game can only be played online. So I have my other PC set up to always have a server hosted. The money each team has to get to is about $1,000,000. Now, that is almost impossible, but I have the server up for people to build and all have fun. If you choose to join the server, then you'll first need to find and edit the Client Configuration file, which is located in the start menu or whatever you installed it in. I'll put my IP near the end of this little section so it isn't hard to point out. Also, if the server needs to be reset or something, tell me. Also, you may need the Microsoft .NET Framework and the XNA thing, those are on the game's download site.

Now, the game is constantly being updated. There aren't any servers up right now, but I imagine someone will tell you all their IP sooner or later. I realize that that isn't helping much, but I can't host games with this game, so I hope that'll be fixed sooner or later, and if you don't believe me in how good it is, Palemoon, Luminaflare, Dave, AF, Yahoozy, AzMiLion, Jacob, Sidke, and I have played it.

EDIT: I found an editor.. check it often I guess. Infinimeditor

That's good. Now I just hope that more people post in this topic. Also, do you use IRC? Because that'd make life easier for trying to organize a game.

Very awesome game. The game is good as it is, and yet the guy is still working on expanding it. I'm hoping to see water, ice, maybe oil, and other terrain features in the future. I'm also interested in new buildables--elevators, automatic drills, power plants that require water or lava as energy, energy-fueled things, etc. Maybe power-ups?

I currently have a server up. The people at Facepunch are in it too, so there may be a little more lag than usual. Other than that, yeah. My IP is 96.28.57.110 and the wonder of that IP is that mine is Static.. lucky me :D

EDIT: OH MY GOD UPDATE! Changelog, Download

EDIT: Look... I'm trapped... UGH.

Also, the lava is prettier and the Force Field Blocks are nicer.

Holy shit. Yes, I'm double posting, I dislike it, but this is on a need to post basis. Look at the following picture and ruin your pants.

Also, yes, this is a mod, the source code was released for the game.
