Minecraft's creator Markus "Notch" Persson knows that the sales of his sandbox indie game are more than enough to allow him to make any future game he wants. While he continues development of Minecraft at his studio Mojang (the newly revealed game Scrolls is not primarily being made by Persson) he is already thinking about ideas of what his next game will be.

In a feature at Rock Paper Shotgun, Persson talks about those ideas which include a space trading simulation, a town sim game where, "You're just one character in the town, just living", and a football manager game with fantasy characters instead of humans (think Blood Bowl). Meanwhile the main development of Minecraft won't be completed until the end of 2011.
