Minecraft is a massively successful videogame that has taken the indie scene by storm, providing one of the best regarded and most addictive experiences to ever hit the industry.

This week's featured Kickstarter project is a documentary that looks at Minecraft's ongoing creation and how an indie videogame sensation is born.
