Notch is Swedish. His real name is Marcus? Poisson, notch is his name in the game. The sandbox game My World was developed by Notch, so there would be no My World without Notch.

Knox was born in a small town in Sweden. When I was a child, I was introverted and didn't like to drink other people's toys. More often, he stayed in his room and played with the toys his father bought him, but most of them became muddy after playing for a while. Only Lego toys are the ones he plays the most. One day, his father brought back a Commodore 128 computer from the outside and taught Noctus how to use it. Since then, Noctus has been obsessed with computers, and computers have become his closest partners.

When he grew up, Noctus went to work in a web game company, mainly engaged in the production of Flash games. In his spare time, he studies game design and develops his own projects. In 2009, Noctus resigned from home and became a full-time independent game developer. It was during that time that Knox began to contact sandbox games and was already developing Dwarf Fortress. This game is based on the same principle as the Lego game he played. Players need to collect their own resources to build various buildings in the game. However, the small country of the game is not what he imagined. The shapes of materials that can be built in the game are particularly few, which leads to less things that can be done in the game.

The online game community has given Noctus a lot of opinions about the game Dwarf Fortress, hoping that he can add more adventure links and more exploration elements, so that players can create freely in the game. So Noctus forgot to sleep and eat according to these ideas. After his unremitting efforts, the final effect of the game finally reached the effect he wanted, and the name of the game was upgraded to My World.

After the release of My World, it quickly occupied the market like a virus. Even Knox didn't expect this game to be so popular. At first, she thought the game was active in the game forum in her country, but in the end, My World became one of the favorite games of netizens all over the world.
