Mal Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Their new website just launched today with quite a bit of information on the game. First off, it has been in development for two years and yes, it is influenced by TONS of stuff of which the most notable are Minecraft, Monster Hunter and in my personal opinion 3D Dot Game Heroes and ClaDun 2. In this game it is pretty much like Minecraft in that the world is "infinite" or in realistic terms: Really fucking large. So you'll be an explorer/adventurer FOREVER. Like Adol the Red (20+ years and still no closure in Ys...). Combat has a Monster Hunter tinge to it. If you at least watched Monster Hunter in action, you'll see it. The rest... I'll let the website talk: https://picroma.com/cubeworld Overall, I think the game is very ambitious (a good or bad thing) but since the dude has been working on this for two years already, I think it is safe to say the dev couple are committed to the game (Say unlike Notch to Minecraft. He jumped once he had the chance). In its raw state right now, it looks repetitive but hat is fine. What "infinite" world game can't be like that? Anyways, the game will be released for PC (with Mac and console some other time...). The structure will be like Minecraft. So alpha, beta and all that good stuff since those words don't mean jack anymore. Still, I'm looking forward to it, even if it is for the sheer novelty of it all (and if it crashes in a year or two after release). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 The alpha version of the game went up on sale for a short time before server crashed and such. In the meantime... enjoy the tech demo to see if you can run the game and to see how well it runs. https://picroma.com/demo/CubeDemo.zip Yogcast snag a copy so if you want to see it in action, go to them but again, remember it is alpha.

TCP Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 I'm really interested in this game. I've heard it described as Zelda x Minecraft x Skyrim which sounds.... amazing. Does anyone know how it runs on MacBooks and how far behind the Mac version is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Well, I've been playing it a lot which caused me to neglect Rogue Legacy and FF XII... so that says something. I'll say its Monster Hunter x Minecraft x Skyrim. While barebone right now, it is rather polished for what it is. At the moment its all about exploration and hunting quests. Not much else. Though a lot of stuff can be refined and expanded on (yay alpha!). As for how it runs on MacBooks... from what I heard, the game at the moment is putting most laptops to the test. There is also a weird AMD GPU problem where it may cause the card to run at max thus overheating (Limiting the framerate should fix it). I personally don't see it though. Since it is just Wolly and his wife... a year at best for the Mac version but I think it is safe to say that it will not come because it is just Wolly and his wife. There is too much shit to do for two people. So far demand for the game seems high so hopefully it'll come out okay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Is the Monster Hunter influence really heavy? I don't like Monster Hunter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Think of the overall game right now as more as Minecraft Adventure mode. If anything reminds me of Monster Hunter (Disclaimer: I never played a MH game but I watched it plenty of times) it has to be the crafting. That fucking bar. Then there is the part of killing boss monster for stuff to power up your gear. You can watch for yourself to get a feel for the game. I personally need some folks to play with. Hint hint...

Vecha Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 I just got the game. If you are still trying to find people to play with MH, hit me up on steam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I need to remember people's requests... Vecha, sorry about forgetting about this. If you see me off mobile on Steam then yeah, chances are I can play. Now about the Mac Daddies... http://www.reddit.com/r/CubeWorld/comments/1ix1uz/cube_world_is_working_for_mac_through_crossover/ There seems to be a way to get it working on a Mac. You folks can wait and see if it pans out. So far it seems like it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCP Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Hurry up and bring it to consoles, Wollay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Wait five years. This dude is a near perfectionist so when he ports it over, it'll break and it'll take him quite a while to fix it all. Wollay is kind of odd but I can abide by it since not like I don't have a bunch of other games to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Playing the long game with this gae development which is fine. I came in buying it expecting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Looks like quests have been added: Looks so good. I haven't heard anything about this game in ages, I sort of figured it was dead, good to see he's still working on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Last I had heard this game was pretty famously dead. It's been cited as one of those "took the money and ran" situations. I am so glad it appears there's one less asshole that did this. Yay Wollay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normo Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 I was about to make a post about how Picroma seems to have abandoned the project, and then I saw this. I'm pretty glad that they didn't run away from Cube World, because this game was one of the reasons I decided to build a gaming computer. Although, it doesn't look like the game will be even close to completion any time soon. I guess I shouldn't have put so much trust into a small indie game, especially not one with 2 people working on it who call it a "small hobby project".

Mal Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Dude, we're 2015 now but yes, this game is a hobby project of wollay's. If it ever comes out, it'll be version 1.0. I personally think it will come out since this alpha or whatever you want to call it is polished as fuck. It is not just something thrown together in a short amount of time. Honestly, I would be as radio silent as wollay if I made a game. The loud assholes will ALWAYS get to people. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normo Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Dude, we're 2015 now but yes... Oh yeah, that article was made 2 years ago There was an official blog post made in 2014 though, so it's fine.

Mal Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 https://twitter.com/DaveChaos/status/600310667212627968 It may or may not be a thing but hey, knowing Wollay's MO... it could be. By the way, the tweet is from the Yogcast folks and they were the first ones to get their hands on Cube World. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Hmm... E3 a few weeks away... weren't there a few rumours about it being picked up by PlayStation awhile back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted October 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 https://twitter.com/wol_lay He's tweeting now, giving some backstory about the factions he hinted to with the songs. I got to say, he is rebuilding the hype that he lost two years ago. Will the new update be as polished as his alpha!? Only time will tell.
