You probably haven’t heard of Markus Persson or better known as “Notch”, but most likely you have heard of his masterpiece… In this article you will learn about the Minecraft creator story.
In the middle of 2009, Persson decided to quit his job as a video game developer to start the project of creating his own.
Story of the creator of Minecraft
Unemployed but enthusiastic, Notch sought new paths and inspiration, which he gained from an independent game development blog, as well as playing them. This was the starting point for the creation of his great project, “Minecraft”.
Minecraft is part of those video games whose main characteristic is that they do not have a defined objective, on the contrary, its coding allows each player to create a different world or environment according to what your imagination guides; which guarantees that you will not play the same adventure twice.
Despite not being a game with the highest standards in design and image resolution, its success and innovative way of playing it have captivated video game fans, perhaps because by experiencing it you feel the true meaning of fun and adventure.
After selling millions of copies in a few months and forming a team of developers, Mojang caught the attention of the giant Microsoft, which in September 2013 acquired its rights for a value of 2.5 billion dollars; an incredibly important milestone in the history of the creator of Minecraft.
Despite having been on the market for several years, Minecraft continues to be one of the best-selling applications on Apple iOS and Android Google Play, as well as being released for Xbox and PlayStation consoles, further increasing its sales.
Notch owns one of the most expensive properties in Beverly Hills, with 23,000 square meters and a value of 70 million dollars.
Likewise, the Minecraft phenomenon not only leaves “Notch” with a multi-million dollar sum in his pocket, but there are many people who share their expertise by interacting in the game, upload it to YouTube and generate their own income. So wherever you look at it, this project is still making a profit around it.
Amazing, right? 🙂 We hope that the story of the creator of Minecraft motivates you to fight for what you love so much.
