THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Hi Yognau(gh)ts, everyone here at Winterkewl Games can not thank you enough for getting behind this project and helping make Yogventures! a reality! I am quite literally deeply moved by the amount of support and love you guys have shown towards The Yogscast and can't wait to work together in the coming months to make the game that we all wish to see!

The Yogscast will post a proper update in the near future but I wanted to say thanks with just a small token, a Sneak Peek as it were of what we have in store for you! So Enjoy, let the speculation and rumors begin, and again THANK YOU SO MUCH!

      Is the game going to be a download when things like pre-alpha come out or is it going to be a disc?

      @Spiffthespaceman sorry I've explained numerous times about the lack of a video update and how I was sorry that I shouldn't have raised expectations for one so soon. The guys are working on it and it will be out soon as they can get some time to finish it up. Thanks for your patience.

      Can I just recommend something that minecraft truly, truly lacked.
      A HUGELY customisable character.
      Uploading your own skins is cool and all, but I'm hoping for sizes, possibly races, custom skins and so on. It would really, really help the RPG element to the game.
