Infiniminer! Part I: Introduction

In the next days I'll be writing 3 posts in english all about this cool game . Why in english? Because this way I can show off my AWESUM INGLISH TYPAN SKILLZ and also because the target audience for this post is THE INTERNET. *lightning and thunder*

Infiniminer is a free 3D game with 2D graphics that revolves about the idea of being a miner, mining gold and diamonds and then bringing them to the surface to score points for your team. "YAWN! What the hell? How is this a fun game?" well dear reader, I'm glad you ask:

a) Freedom. You don't actually have to do what the server mod (more on that later) expects you to do. You can do the opposite, play around, screw others etc.
b) Great for LAN partys. It's quick to install, small and it's a teamwork game.
c) Source code available! What does that mean? The next posts will explain it better but the main idea is that you can custom EVERY SINGLE ASPECT of the game as long as you have C# knowledge and some free time.
d) 4 classes. Each class has it's own tools and it's purpose. For example, the engineer can build jump blocks so that you can reach the surface faster, the sapper has TNT to destroy dirt or the other team buildings/miners, the Prospector has a neat gold and diamond radar-thingy.

As any team vs team game, the team that's faster wins. And to accomplish that, anything goes. You can build stuff and blow stuff and block stuff as long as you mine enough ore and the other team allows it, all the way avoiding the dreadful lava. Finally, if anyone plays along there are lots of laughs and competition to be had.

With this I end the introduction and the next posts will be dedicated to the modding (especially, client side modding).
