Markus Persson, the Swedish developer who spun industry heads last year with his breakthrough game Minecraft, is hoped to be the subject of a new feature-length documentary.
A twenty-minute preview can be found below, but the documentary itself isn’t complete.
2 Player Productions, which has created game industry-related documentaries in the past, is seeking crowdsouced funds to produce Minecraft: The Story of Mojang.
At the time of writing, $31,579 has been raised – showing a rapid acceleration in funding. Reports from hours ago put the figure at $17,000.
The goal is to raise $150,000 for a full feature.
