Cobalt @ Minecon 2015 in London
July 14th, 2015, Cobalt, Events, Minecon, MojangHello Minecon 2015!
Last weekend (4-5 july) we attended Minecon in London with a 10 computer booth running Cobalt. It was an amazing weekend which superseded our expectations in all ways imaginable. Here is just a small sample of what was going on:

Minecon was a blast!
(since there wasn’t a “world championship” tournament this year).
Everyone @ the booth had a ton of fun, and I think the challenges were a great idea
For those interested ones: The challenge maps that were played were: Nightfall (coming soon in v125!), Mycelia Mesa (”Speed challenge”), Hotfoot desert (”Phaser challenge”) and Hotshot (”Recoil challenge”).

Too bad I couldn’t be there, maybe another time.

Can’t wait for the official release!
This’ll become a masterpiece.

I gotta start stepping up my game. I feel like a total scrub now that I’ve seen the pros play. Anyone know a good training program? ;D
Really cannot wait for the update. It’s gonna be so…Cobalt.

Can’t wait for the update!!! I wish it was released sooner than October, but I’m happy that it’s coming.
Will I be able to have the game on steam if I already have it?
August 12th, 2015 at 1:08 pm
Yes, all alpha players will get a steam key.
August 21st, 2015 at 6:40 pm
I have a question. Can i migrate my cobalt account to a newer e-mail?
Because i lost my password and i won’t receive the steam key…

Cobalt works with Mojang accounts at the moment. Enter the Mojang website, you can do so there. Otherwise send an email to the devs!
