Behold! Attack on Titan Shiganshina District Almost Complete in Minecraft

The "Studio Miyabi" Minecraft group has created another video showcasing their painstakingly accurate recreation of Attack on Titan's Shiganshina district in Minecraft. They posted a video on Planet Minecraft of their most recent progress, which includes not only the entire district within the walls, but also the structures outside of the walls. And of course, there's also a Colossal Titan.

The site lists their progress as still being only 65% complete, with a message board comment from a group member speculating that the project would be finished "before next year."

We first reported on their efforts back in June, when Studio Miyabi posted a glimpse of their work-in-progress. At the time, the project was only about 15% complete.

"Dragon Quest X" Shrinks Down to iPhone and iPad in Japan This Winter

After hitting Nintendo Wii, and later Wii U, the last big move Dragon Quest X made was PC. Next up for the MMO is a partnership between Square Enix and Japanese mobile carrier NTT DoCoMo, who will be bringing the MMO to iPhone and iPad in Japan.

The mobile version of Dragon Quest X, currently scheduled for winter, will use the Cloud for online play. Utilizing iPhone/iPad features like an on-screen D-pad, it will otherwise have the same content as the other versions of DQX, and affordable plans will be available for those who want to commit to shorter amounts of play time.
