Some of the games didn’t work, we had to fix those. But with this new season, season 1, we decided to really go for it, a really structured approach, so we did most of the work in 6 months.ĭ – (Jaw drops) It took 6 months to get all the episodes together?Ī – All the assets together, yeah, the builds corrected. (Noxcrew merch – support their cause here)ĭ – How hard is it to make a game show in Minecraft? What are we talking in hours? Man and woman hours? Days? Months?Ī – Well we had a pilot season which was on and off for about two years and we were doing it for fun, as a hobby, we thought it would be cool to do and fun to watch. But in many games we don’t have that though! One of the biggest appeals of doing it is there is no health and safety, so we can push the limit, we can have death matches-Ī – Right. If you’ve ever watched Wipe Out or Takeshi’s Castle, or Jungle Run, 50/50, many games, like Crystal Maze, we’ve literally just taken those concepts and put them in Minecraft and we’ve built games. What is it? What’s the best way to explain it?Īndrej -The Noxcrew game show is quite literally a game show in Minecraft. (Johnny Smooth & Bobby Groove, the shows commentators)ĭogknife – Andrej, nice to meet you! Minecraft is obviously this amazing game that has taken the world by storm…lets not go on too much about that, lets get straight into the Noxcrew Game Show. Entire worlds are built, palaces, cities and now, thanks to months of hard work by an efficient team of adorable uber-nerds, a fully working game show… But if Noxcrew’s game show is anything to go by, Minecraft has a shit-load to offer the world, not just blocks to shift around. Now, I am not a Minecraft aficionado par se, although I have played it a few times – a little zombie killing here, a little getting chased by massive spiders there and that’s it – I’ve never built anything. The creators are now zillionaires and the rest is history.
Minecraft, if you are not down with the latest yoot-cult followings, is basically Lego for gamers (Andrej’s words) and has taken the world by storm since it burst onto the Web around 2009, with a full version following in 2011. (Exclusive interview with Noxcrew Game Show writer, Andrej Panic) The Noxcrew Game Show, a purely Minecraft-based delight is set to dazzle internet audiences and everyday gamers after it launched this week with episodes 1 and 2. I politely decline (“I’m already fed and watered, thanks.”) while he shows me video edits of future Noxcrew Game show episodes that he is working on. I meet Andrej at the door of his modest room in a student complex, down town Sheffield, UK, and he immediately puts me at ease with a comfy chair and offers of water or tea. (40 people across the globe, working together over 6 months, made The Noxcrew Game Show)
