Mojang founder Markus Persson – you probably know him as ‘Notch’ – is stepping down as lead developer on Minecraft, with Jens Bergensten taking over the role.
“He will have the final say in all design decisions, so he will kinda sorta become my boss, I guess. I’ve promised him to not pull rank,” Notch jokes in a blog post.
“We’ve been working together on Minecraft for a year now, and I’m amazed at how much in synch we two are when it comes to how to design the game. And when we don’t agree, we discuss it and something much better comes out at a result. He’s truly a great person to work with, and I feel very confident handing over the leadership of Minecraft to him.”
He goes on to say that, after a short break, he’ll be back working on Minecraft, which will come to Xbox 360 in 2012, and will also start work on “some new project.”
