Friday, December 9, 2011 at 6:58 PMI just checked his twitter and I think he meant that he’ll be streaming himself making a game from scratch in 48 hours, meaning that he’s gonna start the stream in 48 hours of him making a game.

Friday, December 9, 2011 at 7:01 PMIt’s tricky to make a game in 48 hours… though ludum dare allows you to use libraries and middleware of your choosing. For notch that no doubt means he can use the guts of minecraft to start from.
Having your own tech is a great place to start from.

Friday, December 9, 2011 at 9:32 PMHave I stepped in a time portal? Didn’t he already make Prelude of the Chambered for Ludum Dare earlier this year? (http://notch.tumblr.com/post/9251960534/prelude-of-the-chambered)
