Lords of Uberdark is a sort of 3d minecraft or minecraft with voxels is perhaps more accurate
I saw it a while back but just recently I spotted it was in pay to play alpha development 15 bucks and you get access to the alpha and all subsequent releases a la minecraft
It's pretty early but shows promise you can mine deforming the terain as you go to get minerals and metals and such and you can then build with that stuff with a sort of 3d cursor dragging about to make things there are also night time enemies and a load of other stuff the creator has big plans for the thing.
I had a go and the creation is a little tricky getting the hang of the 3d voxel space after the easy precision of minecraft takes some getting used to. For instance this is my first attempt at a house. (this image may or may not work I dislike the new picasa changes that lock it into G+ totally you used to be able to just share a link to a picture)
there is of course a wiki http://lordsofuberdark.wikia.com/wiki/Lords_of_Uberdark_Wiki

Cool! I'll be watching this one closely.
As for Picasa, the interface hasn't changed for me. I go to picasaweb and I can link photos as before. What's different for you?
You can access Google photos in 2 ways now...if you access via G+, you get a really nasty interface...however if you access via www.picasaweb.com/whateveryournameishere then it's the old, un-changed and really rather simple to use one...
It's a pain, as the auto-sync with your phone camera in G+ is excellent, but once you've shifted them to an album you're better off going in via Picasaweb and doing edits and amends.
OIC! I don't really use the G+ interface. As Picasa is legacyland, I imagine it will be merged into a new product and rebranded all in one go.
I've just tried exactly what EMW was trying (generating an image link out of Picasa from G+), and there is indeed no option...all you get is the option to "share" with your circles.
You can right-click - Copy Image Location, but no auto-generation for embedding,and no link tool. Just scanned the options, and no way to add it into G+...
Notably, in Picasa UI, you can share to external sites, so long as it's Twitter and Blogger...no sharing to Facebook.
Indeed, its a pain. Picasa is fine at work but G+ is blocked (pretty reasonable) but you have to work reasonably hard to get a non-G+ link out of Picasa these days. For instance, all the image feed pics on Lack are G+ links, and oddly I can see the thumbnails but can't see the full images unless I navagate to them manually through Picasa.
And the Blackberry G+ app which I thought might be OK is arse. Its awesome at downloading banner ads (one every two seconds or so, usually the same fucking picture) but doesn't seem keen to load any content.
To briefly return to the point, looks interesting... although the thing that attracts me to MC is the precision, so might be the wrong way for me (not that I've been in MC recently...)
Indeed the lack of easy precision of making stuff is a downside it is still an alpha tho and they are currently making a lot of changes to the building system so maybe they will come up with something
