After almost 2 hours later, I decided to get back to the village, and lucky as I am, I found a weapon in a tree. To get a decent weapon, I had to kill monsters and complete quests, so I spend a long time-fighting weak monsters and hoping for a decent drop. The monster balancing can’t be right if a weaker monster like a beetle can kill me in just a few seconds. This thing killed me so fast, and my weapon couldn’t even scratch it. However, when I tried to slay a beetle (not a strong monster at all), I got literally destroyed. The higher the tier of a monster, the harder it is to eliminate. In the current version, all mobs that we encounter are categorized into different tiers (weapons and gear too). In the previous version, it was possible to defeat even stronger monsters by running them around or using skills correctly. When we run around in the world, there is a high chance that we encounter some unfriendly monsters or animals, which will attack us if we get too close to them. After getting some quests marked on the map, I decided to run to the next one, which is also the start of a dilemma. In the village, I already noticed some differences between the alpha and the current version of the game:įinally, NPCs can give us a hint on a quest that we can take on, so I run through the whole village and asked everyone for a quest. Luckily, my spawn point was in the middle of a village near the ocean, so that saved quite some time. The first few minutes of the game were almost the same as in the alpha take a look at the map, find a village, and run to it. The character creation process didn’t change how it works, so it only took me about one minute to create my new character. When I launched the game for the first time, a beautiful (newly designed) title screen welcomed me, after a long time. It was not uncommon that we have to wait a few months, to get a minimal update about the development state, or what is currently being worked on.The alpha had massive potential, and as we got some updates on quests, new monsters, structures, or new game mechanics, we could only imagine what this game could become when it was finished. When we take a look at Wollay’s Twitter account, we can see that he (and his wife that also worked on the game) almost vanished, besides posting a small tweet here, or a short video there. So I downloaded the game quickly, and jumped right into it, to see what 6 years of development added to it. Hell yeah, the hype was back, and many people started talking about Cube World again. In addition to that, all the people who purchased the alpha version back in 2013, get free keys so they can play a few days earlier, to test the game to its full extent. However, on the 5th of July, 2013, the game received the last update for 6 whole years.Īfter 6 years of passionate waiting for an update, Wolfram von Funck (the developer of Cube World) posted a tweet that Cube World will release on Steam on the 30th of September 2019. And I was one of them.Īfter spending countless hours in the alpha version, and testing out all of the available classes, I wished that there would be an update, which brings some new stuff into the game. Many people decided to buy the alpha version of Cube World, to see what this game really is about, in its current state. It is a voxel-based, open-world exploring game, which looks a bit similar to Minecraft, but it focuses more on the exploring and progression side. We still aren't sure how far out we are from getting an actual update, but the game still looks interesting, and some of the updates would be fun to toy around with.Back in the days, in 2013, to be exact, a new game called Cube World got released. Well, Wol_lay has shown up again and has posted some new screenshots on his Twitter. We'd rarely get updates, but every now and then they'd peak their head out and release some screenshots of what they are working on. After about six months or so, the developer kind of went missing. The release was fraught with issues, but a ton of copies got sold in a short period of time. The hype for it got immense, and it was available for sale as an early access title by the husband and wife development team. It's a voxel based RPG adventure game that you could play with your friends. It popped up as a kind of alternative to Minecraft around 6 or 7 years ago. Cube World is an infamous game title in the gaming world.
