Ironically I have not see too much of Introversion's latest game other than a handful of screenshots and a small article on it. I have read tons of tweets about it though. (I follow them on Twitter.) I plan to check out that game sometime. Don't worry take away all the cubes, digging and creating and it's nothing like Minecraft.
I do notice that you didn't refute my claims about a possible in-game Microsoft Office cloning.
Seriously though it's a pretty neat looking concept. I'd love to see more of it once you have it further developed.
So is there a "game" developing out of all of this or are you aiming to leave most of the features unanchored so that it can be easily adapted like a game engine? Seems very sandbox-y. Which isn't such a bad thing. It's worked out rather well for Markus Person.
I think if you go the sandbox routine you'll have to offer a lot of "creative distance" and/or plenty of rewards for the players to achieve over the course of play.
I guess that's what makes me think of Minecraft the most.
