Imagine Games Network recently named Markus "Notch" Persson, the maker of Minecraft as number 14 in a list of the web's 25 most popular game makers.
Notch's name is well-known among online gamers as the creator of a new type of sandbox game and a new kind of game promotion system. His system to sell the game early and release updates in prerelease patches is unique.
He plans to use the same type of promotion system with Mojang's new game, Scrolls. And other independent games have tried the same approach.
An independent game using the same type of promotion recently received a large donation from Notch. The game called Voxatron, is available for purchase in Alpha for however much customers want to donate. Notch purchased the game for $2,000.
