Lunacraft: A Minecraft Clone Lost to Time

  • Welcome to Lunacraft, a mobile Minecraft clone that was released on iOS back in 2012! Unfortunately, it's no longer available, and can only be played by those who happen to still have it installed on their phone. This is a game I have a fair amount of nostalgia for, and there isn't much good gameplay of it on TH-cam, so I figured I'd dive in and showcase it in a bit more depth. Let me know if you want to see more!

    Hey, just wanted to drop in and say thanks for uploading this. Great little gem from a bygone era of gaming. Wish I could’ve grabbed it before it vanished.
    That said, hope you revisit it at some point, especially seeing how the gameplay was supposed to progress and what an endgame version of this charming little mobile game could’ve looked like.

    Might be a wrong place to ask, but this game is extremely similar to a game I used to play in around 2011. The game I'm talking about was like, this exact game, but on pc. It was also a bit darker, and had more content. Specifically, it had actual xenomorphs as enemies from what I remember, multiple tech items like boots that allowed you to invert gravity, different levels of jetpacks and gear, and one other thing I explicitly remember is that you could sometimes find alien shrines or ruins, and find a special mining bot in them. You could then program it to mine out huge areas for you.
    If you or anyone else here remembers the game or how it was called, please reply- I've been searching for it for literal years now and I just cannot find it.

    Love the video! Definitely a good big of nostalgia from this app when I played it 10 years ago. If there was a demand for a remake of this game for the sake of preservation, I’d love to remake it in Godot if someone had the assets neatly packed in a folder, but sadly finding any content of this game beyond imagery is near impossible.

    It’s really interesting seeing this game pop-up again. I wonder if there is anyway to get into contact with the developers.

    • @sepulous
      @sepulous  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      In 2022 the site for the game redirected to a personal site for who appears to be the sole developer, Charlie Deck, where he displays his various projects. According to the entry for Lunacraft, "In hindsight, further development would no doubt have been lucrative. Whatever the case, I'd moved on to other, fresher challenges once Lunacraft was out in the world." You can check this out on the Wayback Machine. Still not sure why the game was pulled from the app store.
      I don't know nearly as much as some people do about the game's details, but there's lots of good information on the wiki, which is still running somehow.
