Cube World - Out September 30th
Cube World - Out September 30th
Wow... I never thought this one would see the light of day.
Some of you may remember this Minecraft-looking open-world RPG entering paid alpha back in 2013 and looking pretty promising, only to fall off the face of the earth. The one-man development team has posted (very) occasional new screenshots on his Twitter, but for the most part it had gone dark.

Today, it's been announced that the 1.0 version will be launching sometime in September/October on Steam, with a store page and everything:
Everyone who bought the alpha will get a Steam key. I actually just found my old sign-in details from 2013 and it all seems to work (I can even re-download the alpha), so shall look forward to that!

Holy cow. Me and my son still occasionally pick this up and play it whilst lamenting it never got finished.
But now... fingers crossed.

I remember buying the alpha thinking 'this will be a nice game to play with my little girl'... she turns 9 this year

The dev has opened up on why development has taken so long, includes some mental health issues, poor guy:

Re: Cube World - Out September 30th
I think that's for a week of closed beta prior to the full launch. I got my code over the weekend anyway (where it said it was for the beta).

Re: Cube World - Out September 30th
Really? Shame.
Managed to dig out my password and register myself and my son's copies with steam all ok. Just waiting now.

Yikes... reading the beta player comments on the Steam forum, and sounds like a bit of a dumpster fire honestly. What happened?
I can't even get it to launch

Re: Cube World - Out September 30th
It's not even that, people who played a load of the alpha say lots of changes have been made since then that make it worse.DjchunKfunK wrote: ↑Mon Sep 23, 2019 1:49 pmThe world moved on and lots of better games with the same premise have been made?
- they removed XP and levelling
- progress is instead linked to equipment
- you lose all your equipment (including any gliders, boats etc) whenever you move to a new region... this is a pretty big problem for a procedurally generated game that is basically all about exploring new regions
- people are reporting being unable to make any progress because all enemies, even basic stuff like chickens, are unkillable and 1-shot you in return.
- and I still can't launch the game
On the launching issue, it looks like there's a problem with Windows 7 and people on the forum are saying instead of actually fixing the issue the dev 5 days ago changed the minimum spec to Win 8 instead.
FFS -_-

Re: Cube World - Out September 30th
I see, considering the protracted development of the game I'm not surprised it's a bit of a mess. Games that take an ages to come out are almost always a mess.

I guess on the positive side I'll never get to see how bad the finished product became :/DjchunKfunK wrote: ↑Mon Sep 23, 2019 2:13 pmI see, considering the protracted development of the game I'm not surprised it's a bit of a mess. Games that take an ages to come out are almost always a mess.
I never expected this to see the light of day so I'm not even disappointed over the fee I paid to get the alpha 6 years ago, mainly that it was a fun little game at that time.
Oh well.
