A feature-length documentary on Minecraft and developer Mojang’s first year has been in the works for some time now. The team behind the the doc, 2 Player Productions, is looking to hear the extraordinary stories some fans have to tell. If you have a story about how Minecraft has impacted your life — maybe you used the game to propose to your significant other or get a job — 2PP wants to hear it. If your tale is deemed special enough, it might just make it into Minecraft: The Story of Mojang.
The documentary is being funded by fans. A donation page on Kickstarter for the project shows that more than $210,000 was raised by 3,631 individuals, far more than the goal of $150,000 (which was met back on March 26). A 20-minute version, made before realizing that a more in-depth piece was needed, can be seen here.
2PP explains what fans will get from watching: “For the first time, viewers will be given an in-depth look at both the triumphs and the challenges faced by a studio during their first year in existence. 2 Player will analyze the unprecedented success of Minecraft, gain insight into its impact from journalists and industry professionals, and meet the fans whose lives have been changed by the game.”
