Home page is finally out!

https://picroma.com/cubeworld

It mostly just gives an overview of what everyone already knows, and he states that an alpha will be released soon. It might not be a release date, but at least it's something.

I'll take slow but steady updates and indicators that Wollay is still working on Cube World. Hopefully this is an indication that alpha is really close, but we'll see.

As the last couple big RPG releases have gone by it's becoming disturbingly clear that Cube World is basically promising to deliver what I crave in an open world RPG. :negative:

Oh, cool. Get to see some people actually playing, rather than just some developer footage.

Edit: They're trying multiplayer now.

That camel is loving hilarious and I hope the running animation never changes. It's definitely out of the scope of his initial release plans but house building will make this guy so rich. It's also amazing to me how fun/relaxing the sailing and hangliding look. I'm so pumped for this.

Actually, he had a system for player housing implemented over a year ago, but decided to shelve it until post release for some reason.

If you want to watch more Cube World, Toby is streaming it now. He was playing multiplayer with InTheLittleWood earlier.

http://www.twitch.tv/sototallytoby

Speaking of InTheLittleWood, he didn't have the entire stream up as a VoD as he'll be spreading it out on his YouTube channel, but he did leave up a video of the first dungeon they felt strong enough to try if you want to check that out.


Edit: Turns out I lied. I'm sorry.

Just over 6 hours of footage.

Two and a half hours of footage.

Wow, that game's pretty. Ugly, but pretty.

I'm not enjoying the Toby stream though, he's just kind of... gliding around. Going to check out that dungeon video, though.

I don't know how to add to this sentiment...the only other game that has ever elicitied such anticipation with its hype was Spore, but Cube World looks as though its actually going to deliver, and I couldn't be any happier.

I think Wollay is about to become an extraordinarily wealthy person.

I don't think I've ever been more excited for a game's release. It's like someone had a list of exactly how I would want a sandbox game (or particularly minecraft) to be, and has actually made it! The only thing the game currently seems to possibly be lacking is the type of building interaction that, say minecraft allows. In fact, can you construct things (such as a home) at all outside of some preset builds? Still, I suppose minecraft does fill that specific lego-building niche anyways. What this game should provide is literally everything else I would want, ie an actual combat system, actual questing and high dungeon and monster variety that is worth exploring, hopefully little buginess and glitches upon full release. Does anyone know if the beta will be open?

From everything that I've read the only type of building that's allowed will be with preset houses and I don't believe that's going to be in till after the actual launch of the game. Seems like there really isn't any kind of terrain changing except for big bosses being able to destroy terrain. There's also some crafting with adding on additional blocks to weapons, but that's all there really seems to be.

Pretty sure there will be an alpha that we are able to buy and then get updates forever like Minecraft did if that's what you mean by an open beta. It might actually be fairly soon for when we can buy the game according to a post of wollay. http://i.imgur.com/vDxJZeX.png

Oh hey, I remember this game. He posted about this on 4chan's /v/ board about a year ago.

That probably made most of you instantly change your minds about playing it but whatever, it looked fun then and it looks fun now, and I'll throw down some cash to play it.

I'm so glad this is finally getting to a point were Wollay is comfortable releasing it. I used to check his blog once a month just to see if he'd gotten anywhere. He's had to deal with a lot of impatient people in the last 3 years.

Not to make this negative, it's awesome news.

I've been much the same. I've been ready to throw money at him for a long long time. Now that its getting closer to happening, and the fact I've been able to see people play it has me very excited indeed! Do we have any idea on what the player limit for servers are?

Yay I've been waiting for this game for so long, it's good to finally see Wollay is finally handing out alphas.
From what I've seen of the gameplay it looks like everything I expected it to be!

quote:



Private Servers
Cube World comes with a separate server application which players can use to host their own server to which friends can connect for a multiplayer session.

LAN Multiplayer
Multiplayer is possible over LAN.

Online Multiplayer
Multiplayer is possible over the Internet. The server application can be run on a dedicated server or a private computer (using port forwarding for routers).

2-4 Player Cooperative Play
You can play cooperatively with up to three friends.

(All this below is coming later)

Player vs Player (PvP)
We're planning to add PvP modes with randomly generated battlegrounds and arenas.

PvP Online Ladders
For team-based PvP we're thinking about the possibility of online ladders.

Experimental Massively Multiplayer Server
We will experiment with the possiblity of higher populated multiplayer servers, without compromising game balance and performance.

So 4 at the moment but with high pop servers later on maybe. (Which sounds awesome)

I'll never get the appeal of watching other people play games, it was very hard to watch him leaving stuff on the ground. Pick up the things, dammit!
I'm really glad this might be playable soon, I think I've been watching it for over a year now and it looks like a lot of fun. Co op should be pretty amazing, I've always wanted a multiplayer Zelda-like game.

Whatever happened with his change-the-name submissions thing? I thought he couldn't release it as Cube World due to some legal junk. Did he scrap that plan?

I don't know if he's changed his mind about the plan, but he wanted to change the name so that it stood out a little more on its own, not due to legal stuff.

I've been watching a lot of stream footage and the game looks fun and interesting... but the bosses look like they need some rebalancing. I'm not sure if they're balanced for 4 or balanced for a level of skill that the creators have that people like inthelittlewood don't have, but there seems to be a lot of "Here is this one attack that one shots you, and here are all these attacks in between that check to see if you brought a bunch of potions."

So far pretty much every boss I've seen has the spin-forward-and-cut-a-bloody-swath attack which Simon and littlewood tried to mitigate by hiding behind trees, I guess you could space out your stun/knock downs to try to interrupt it every time it starts, but then there are bosses which seem immune/resistant to stun/kd.

Oh well, these are concerns of an early Alpha, they'll probably get ironed out before launch. If they're not, maybe when I'm playing myself, I might be able to handle the bosses easier, or find something the people playing now have not. Brick wall bosses are very rarely fun to me and almost always annoying.

There's also a small tech demo for you to verify that the game runs on your computer. We recommend to test it if you have an older computer or laptop.
Hopefully in a bit we can actually buy this.
