SurvivalCraft!

It's not much, but it already has smooth radiosity lighting that some of Minecraft clones lack even today :- If you have a PC at hand and want to try it out for yourself, here's the link: Survivalcraft Dev August 2011 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/68540023/Survivalcraft%2028%20August%202011.zip
There's both debug and release builds included and you need to install XNA framework redistributable (included in zip for it to work. I find it hard to believe that scarcely 1.5 months after this build I had a working game with inventory, crafting, proper UI, world generation etc. released on Windows Phone. Must have been working like a madman. By Kaalus https://kaalus.wordpress.com/author/kaalus
