Cubeworld

A voxel based RPG MMO that recently came out in alpha. Just bought it so I will post some screenshots and maybe a review or something later. $15 euro/20 usd for their early access which kind of seems like a lot but as long as they keep supporting the game I guess it is all right (I paid $20 for scrolls the other week, not sure why).

Infinite Worlds

A main feature of Cube World is the random world generation. In contrast to many games, worlds are not designed by a level designer, but generated procedurally by the game using math and random numbers. The result is an endless world (nearly endless, i.e. players can't reach the borders), so players can explore new landscapes all the time.

Players can generate their own worlds by specifiying one single number, the seed. The same seeds result in exactly the same world, so players can share their worlds with friends by telling them their seeds.

Worlds are generated on-the-fly while playing, so there are neither long precomputations nor huge save files at the beginning.

No borders

There are no artificial borders. You can literally reach each cube the world is made of. If you see a mountain on the horizon, you can climb that mountain. If you see a tree, you can climb on top of the tree. At least if your climbing skill is good enough.

Landscapes

Cube World consists of different lands with varying climates and themes. There are grasslands, snowy landscapes, wide oceans, dangerous lava lands, jungles, and deserts. Landscapes are full of mountains, caves, rivers, lakes, forests, rocks, dungeons, castles, ruins, catacombs, temples, villages, and more.

Adventure Skills

Being an exploration RPG, an important focus of Cube World is exploration and adventure. In Cube World, players are equipped with a set of skills that a true adventurer needs:

Climbing allows players to ascend the highest rocks and reach the deepest abyss.
Swimming through rivers, lakes and oceans is routine for a Cube World adventurer.
Diving to the ground of a lake or exploring underwater caves is also possible.
Hang gliding from a mountain right into a lush valley is a common task in Cube World.
Sailing enables ocean explorers to travel quickly from one island to another.
Dungeons

Dungeons are dangerous places full of rare loot and are integrated seemlessly into the world. Dungeon enemies are often stronger than normal enemies and there are dungeon bosses. Dungeons occur in different forms, such as castles, ruins, temples, pyramids, and catacombs. Apart from that, there are overworld dungeons, which are less structured and consist of disconnected buildings.

Missions

Every Cube World day, new missions are available. Missions send players to dungeons or huge boss monsters. Completing a mission gives valuable rewards like weapons, armor and platinum coins. Platinum coins can be used to upgrade weapons and armor.

If a player likes a land he can basically stay forever in that land and just do daily missions.

Classes

There are currently four playable classes in Cube World: Warriors, Rangers, Mages, and Rogues.

We wanted to give each class a different gameplay and feel.

The key feature of warrior gameplay is charged attacks: they can build up MP with normal attacks and charge up powerful special attacks.
Rangers use ranged charged attacks, which work similar like warrior attacks, but using ranged weapons.
Mages cast spells with varying cast times. Normal attacks are usually faster, while special attacks have longer cast times and consume MP.
Rogue gameplay is fast-paced and special attacks are instant. That way they can concentrate on evasion and move freely during combat.

The following races are playable: Elves, Humans, Goblins, Lizardmen, Dwarves, Orcs, Frogmen, Undeads. There are separate models for male and female characters. They also have different voices and there are no class-race restrictions.

Characters are customizable during character creation by choosing a combination of face, hair and hair color. Lizardmen have scales instead of hair and Frogmen have different eyes.

It does look quite interesting. It's made by a married couple, isn't it? Wife does the art, Husband does the programming?


It actually looks like a minecraft with actual stuff to do.

 

[Omeene]

Looks interesting. Really digging the graphical style and the whole concept of "Minecraft+Stronger RPG elements". Can't wait to hear opinions on it, because if the gameplay is good, this will be going on my "**** to Buy Once I Have Extra Cash" list.

Pretty much. Another voxel based game I am thinking of getting is called stonehearth but it is more focused on building whereas this appears to be more of an rpg with a mix of combat (and probably no building).

Just realized I need another launcher or something to play MP :

There is a separate server application that can be used to host multiplayer games. It can be run on dedicated servers or private computers (you just have to make sure set up port forwarding for routers). It enables online and LAN multiplayer for up to four players. We're still experimenting with maximum player limit, especially with respect to game difficulty.

Multiplayer is optional and the game can be played completely offline.

I'm genuinely quite interested in this, but skint till September. Short of some charitable soul, I'll probably give a try then.

 

[Tuckles]

Is their store working again?

Guess not.

 

[Elisianthus]

It is according to Switch, who just bought it.

 

[Tuckles]

God damn it. I can't find it. Switch buy4mepls!?

Right here is my problem. The store is working, but you need to log in. Registration itself is not working (at least for me).

Right here is my problem. The store is working, but you need to log in. Registration itself is not working (at least for me).

Got the same issue here, tried a couple times over the last few hours and I constantly get the notification: "User registrations are currently disabled due to server maintenance. Please try again later."

Hopefully they'll enable registration again soon since they seem to have resolved their server issues for now, I think the reason behind it is their priority at the moment is to cater to those who bought the game shortly before the store went down but had issues receiving their copy.

I had to try a ton of times the other day. I even found a website to notify me when the shop opened :p

[Tuckles]

Unfortunately, that site's for the shop. The issue we're having right now is for registering an account.

Thanks though.

 

[Kevlar]

Took me about half an hour to do the  other day. Kept 404ing.

 

[Tuckles]

've already given up. I'll try again tomorrow.

 

[Kevlar]

Lol at this combat, basically you kill something and it disintegrates :

[Vovolov]

They need to get their **** sorted so I can buy a few copies.

Edit: Managed to sneak one account registration in, but it went down immediately after that.

 

[Krik]

Same, went down once I filled everything out and clicked register. That's a good sign at least.

 

[Elisianthus]

<3 you, mysterious benefactor.

That's actually something I've been wondering about. I really like the look of this game, but can you actually dig out blocks and build stuff out of them? I've never heard any mention of it anywhere, on the other hand it seems a bit strange to make a block-based game in which you can't do that.

 

[Kevlar]

You can use bombs to mine or something. It isn't like minecraft though, this is mostly combat/rpg.
