The strange and wacky games Notch made before Minecraft

Considering how much of an impact Minecraft has had on our popular culture, it's strange that there really aren't any videos going over Markus "Notch" Persson's life up until the point he made the game. Guess I'll do it myself then!

I've noticed this video has started picking up a few more natural views from the Algorithm, so I'll say if you really enjoyed the video, a like and a comment would go a long way to help this reach more people, I think I forgot to mention it in the video itself :)

PS: new video soon :o

[TheDigitalDragon]

Oh, what's that? The best Minecraft YouTuber under the 100k is about to upload a new documentary? Can't wait for it to release!

[turquoisex]

I was so surprised to hear that Notch made Wurm

[RandomSageless]

Technically this isn't a Minecraft Video!

In case anyone wonders why I didn't mention the incendiary comments Notch made a few years back, it felt out of place to talk about over a decade prior to any of it happening. I'll probably make a video if we ever get around to it, but ultimately I think the moral of that story is that twitter is garbage and will rot your brain lmao.

This is the most time I've ever put into a video, and I hope you liked it! Personally I deeply dislike how the final Wurm chapter turned out, ended up relying on a single source and just didn't have the time to add a whole lot of nuance or depth. There's a lot of other minor issues and what not but hopefully the video is ~90%+ accurate.

If you did really enjoy the video, leaving a like or comment will help push the algorithm to show the video to more people.

If the expression "Quality over quantity" was a person, it would be Sageless ngl

These videos are so cool, I'm surprised how underrated some of them are. Keep up the good work!

[AquaQuokka]

Just saying I love your documentaries, they are very well paced but still give lots of extra information

[TheWaterlooWatermelon]

I’m commenting to increase the algorithm’s chance of noticing this masterpiece.

[HedgeRobo]

Yo Sageless, your videos are really good. This video was a goldmine. Can't wait for the next :)

[RyPieEye]

Great video, I can't wait to see the one in the series! Keep up the good work.

[BonBan]

I love the use of the Minecraft story mode music, Im pretty sure there was a time I played story mode more than the actual game because I was too scared of the caves 😂

3:35 I had my finger on the arrow key.

[oglothenerd]

12:57 You are definitely not a programmer. I can tell that much. 💀

[brycel]

i will be waiting, stomache down, kicking my feet slowly, with my fists on my cheeks, waiting for the part ii, this was so cool

[Nodsaibot]

its like i watched a documentary infected with adhd

[olimpus]

Bro this video is so underrated, only 5k VIEWS!!??!?

[roboticauthor]

I can't Believe it took me 10 hours to see this after posting, Love the video!

[Tikas_HD]

great video! Got me engaged from start to finish

[Redofreko]

of course this mf drops a video right after I remember his existence the day before

[Duggleftforthemilk]

Notch is similar to Scott Cawthon in a lot of ways, multiple failed titles and then on game that sky rocketed them to success.
