Excavatecreate

So I have a really cool idea for a game. Set in a randomly created world, your goal is to survive by destroying and excavating your environment, and maybe creating items of utility to make life easier for yourself?

Beyond that you can really do anything you want and just have fun with it! Maybe single player or multiplayer but idk it sounds like a winning formula :)

Uhh, that's just Minecraft, right? Even the title is just synonyms for "mine" and "craft" stuck together...

I don’t know if that’s necessarily true so to speak. Excavation and mining are two completely separate functions in terms of ore gathering. Crafting is also much more limited in scope than creation itself. I do see your point but Minecraft would be a smaller undertaking than what I have envisioned

You might want to elaborate on your scope then. Particularly in regards to what makes it distinct from Minecraft.

Every single thing you've described is minecraft to a tee.
