Aspettando Cube World

[Mgz]

E se anche non fosse morto comunque non vale i soldi spesi: se gli aggiornamenti verranno rilasciati così lentamente il gioco sarà finito fra 4-5 anni come minimo, quindi ora a che serve comprarlo?

Esattamente quello che penso io !

C'ho passato poco tempo, causa dopoio trasloco. Se non fosse che ancora non ho linea, ci starei giocando anche allo stato attuale.
Ho "finanziato" un'alpha e non mi aspetto nulla, certo ci spero. Ma sono 15€ ben spesi, mi sono divertito e mi divertirò di nuovo.

Mi spiace che la prendiate così, è legittimo, ma per me vale i soldi spesi.

Non dico che non sia divertente ( a me in primis mi ha divertito molto giocato soprattutto in compagna di un altro utente ..Mgz..) il problema è il poco interesse dei creatori. Non è possibile che l'ultimo aggiornamento, che ha cambiato un minimo parametro del gioco, sia stato a Luglio!
Seguo altri giochi in alpha e minimo un aggiornamento al mese c'è!

Il gioco (soprattutto le "aspettative") mi piacciono molto, tornerò sicuramente a giocarci appena ci sarà un aggiornamento corposo!

Quests are an important part of an RPG. Quests guide the player to various places, tell stories and give a reason to do all the monster and item hunting. So we decided to add quests to Cube World as well.

There were some challenges due to Cube World's procedural generation: The world is generated on-the-fly in a small region around the player while he's exploring it, but we wanted to be able to define quests more globally. E.g. there should be quests that send you from one end of a land to the other. So I developed a system which allows me to create quests in areas that haven't been generated yet. Complicated, isn't it? Also NPCs, monsters and items need to be generated before the actual landscape, so they can be logically linked to quests.

We first started with an MMO-style quest system with quest-givers and many icons on the map, indicating quest locations, NPCs and so on. While it turned out to be a refreshing way to play Cube World, after a while we realized that it wasn't in line with the original Cube World feel: You felt forced to visit all those quest locations and to find quest-givers - there wasn't much reason to explore the world on your own.

So we made the system more exploration-based: we removed quest-givers and also removed all markers from the world map. Quests are just there and players can find them by exploring. E.g. you might find an old crypt and when you enter it, there is a skeleton boss that you have to defeat. Maybe the boss will drop a key or a treasure which is needed for another quest.

We added a quest journal with quest objectives and previews of creatures and items. The journal is updated automatically by fighting, finding items or talking to NPCs. Some NPCs give hints about quests that haven't been discovered yet.

By removing all quest markers from the map, players are forced to study the world around them more actively rather than following an icon on the map. It makes finding the quest target part of the quest itself and leads to a much more immersive gameplay.

Being an RPG, we want to make the quest system deep and inscrutable, so we're currently adding more quest variations, items and locations.

Mi piace mucho! Renderà la vita difficile, ma preferisco di gran lunga il nuovo sistema - concettualmente parlando.
Bene, wollay è vivo!

casomai interessasse ancora a qualcuno, wollay ha ricominciato a tweettare a proposito delle modifiche che sta facendo a cube world come se non fosse successo nulla ^^ chissà se ricomincierà a svilupparlo o no....

[egounix]

Tra millemila siti, trovai un commento di wollay nel quale diceva che erano in due a sviluppare, se nonnricordo male, e che avevano problemi personali, ma avrebbe continuato lo sviluppo. Io c'ho creduto, premesso che gli ridarei 15€ a che solo per quella parte di gioco che ha concesso, e se penso a tutti gli early finiti in gli darei altri €15

Io attendo tranquillamente senda farmi troppi problemi. Vediamo che succede.

e che avevano problemi personali

ah adesso il cosìdetto "prendi i soldi e scappa" si chiama "avere problemi personali"?
no a parte gli scherzi: sì, sono in due, lui e sua moglie. a quanto pare da questi ultimi giorni sembra essere tornato a sviluppare il gioco (sta facendo vedere tante immagini di nuovi luoghi/mostri), vedremo se poi ci sarà effettivamente un aggiornamento o no.

Mhm non credo, altrimenti non postava più e stop.
Anzi non avendo comunicato nulla, magari si è perso nuovi utenti interessati e di conseguenza soldi.
Ora ricordo che disse che il sistema quest era così complesso da doverlo riprogrammare ogni volta, perchè se non ricordo male ogni volta incontrava problemi diversi.
Anche questo fosse stata una scusa, avrebbe buttato fuori un questing fallato tanto per far contenta la community.
Quindi magari davvero può essere così rognoso da rendere inutile, allo stato del sistema - quindi presumo embrionale o post embrionale - il sistema dei feedbacks e bugs reporting.

Peccato non ci sia più gaxel, aspettiamo comunque buone news... O la chiusura diretta

Dear Cube World Community,

I think this is the right place for this. This is where it all started, where my little passion project came to life and became something much bigger.

Here is my explanation why everything took me so long, why there were no updates and so on...

When I released Cube World back in 2013 on our homepage, I was enthusiastic to finally share my game with you. It was a dream come true for me, I wanted to be a game developer since I was a kid.

As some of you might remember, we got DDoS'ed as soon as we opened the shop. It might sound silly, but this event traumatized me and kind of broke something inside me. I never told anyone about it, and I don't want to go into the details, but I'm dealing with anxiety and depression ever since. Social media didn't improve it, as you might imagine. I'm still not sure if it's a good idea to tell the world about it, but I wanted to give the fans an explanation.

There were several points in the past years where I considered releasing an update, but every time I was afraid it wasn't good enough. I'm also a bit pefectionist and it made me rework everything from scratch several times. The version I'm planning to release is basically Cube World 2.0. There are still many things I'd like to add in the future, but I think the version is already fun.

I hope some of you will enjoy the upcoming release. I'm currently working on the new homepage and still want to add some lore-related things to the game before the release.

Qui Wollay mostra la Travel History

"Here's a short clip demonstrating the "Travel History" feature of the world map. On the lower left you can navigate to all previously visited lands. E.g. after a multiplayer session with your friend in a different land, you can easily return to your current "questing land".

"They're ordered by the time of your last visit. "


Qui invece alcune FAQ, create da risposte di pixxie (moglie di Wollay e "artist" di Cube World) su Steam, dove fa da moderatrice:

On the subject of Controller Support and Key Bindings:
There is no Pixxie quote for this HOWEVER, Controllers are Supported and can be rebound through Steam Controller support. Keybinding was confirmed in a tweet from Wollay here Thanks Reddit!

On the subject of Release Dates:
Wollay still has a few additional touches and tweaks he wants to add before he releases the game, He is also working on the homepage[cubeworld.com] for the game as well. He estimates the game will be released by the End of September, or Early October
SOURCE[wollay.blogspot.com]

On the subject of Alpha Launcher:
This is mostly speculation, but as Cube World's code has gone under a complete rewrite (to quote wollay "The version I'm planning to release is basically Cube World 2.0") The old launcher WILL NOT work,

The game has gone under a complete restructure
The game is being released on steam, and is using certain features only available on steam.
Old Save Files would no longer work as the game was completely rewritten from the ground up

This has been confirmed by Pixxie

Originally posted by pixxie:
Just tried to answer some more questions! @Tyde It will not be playable with the old launcher.



On the subject of Workshop Support:

Originally posted by pixxie:
@Wolfox Cube World will not have modding support but if we make another game we will think about it.



On the subject of Other Languages

Originally posted by pixxie:
@Ziomas Yes we are planning to translate Cube World to other languages after the release. We haven't decided yet how to do this.


Wollay also said Official Translations will be German and English, All others are being planned to be community made.

Non mi aspettavo uscisse. Se qualcuno lo prova, ci scriva una review, io sono
rimasto alla demo / alpha di anni fa, parecchio difficile come gioco, si schiattava
ogni 3x2.

Se l'alpha l'hai pagata, ti dovrebbero dare la key per Steam gratis.

Alcuni screen della 2.0















Credo sia il gioco visivamente più bello e affascinante che abbia mai visto.

[GoFoxes]

Il gioco inizialmente sarà solo inglese e tedesco, ma hanno in progetto di supportare altre lingue. Dovrebbe esserci il supporto per il controller.

Il mondo di gioco sarà uno solo (come per NMS e a differenza di Minecraft) e ogni giocatore partirà da una posizione casuale (il mondo è quasi infinito). Ciò significa che se un giocatore arriva dove è arrivato un altro giocatore vedrà le stesse cose (ancora, come NMS), quindi si potranno condividere scoperte e altro, dato che il gioco mostra costantemente nome della zona in cui si è e coordinate.

Per il multiplayer si potrà andare dal "flight master" e prenotare un volo dove sono gli amici. Quindi presumo ci si potrà imbattere casualmente in altri giocatori, visto che si possono prenotare voli per andare in altre aree anche in solo.

Non ci sarà mai supporto per i mod (forse in un gioco futuro) e al lancio non c'è building nel gioco, l'enfasi è sull'esplorazione:

• Choose between four different classes: Warrior, Ranger, Mage, Rogue.
• Action-based combat with dodging, aiming, combos, special skills and more.
• Explore a nearly infinite, procedurally generated fantasy world.
• Plan your next adventure with the 3D voxel world map. Scroll and zoom everywhere to find your next destination!
• Craft weapons, armor, potions, elixirs and food and more from ingredients found throughout the world.
• Tame pets that fight along your side and can be used as mounts.
• Non-linear, open world gameplay. Solve quests, help residents, fight huge monsters, explore ancient dungeons! It's all up to you!
• Discover procedurally generated lore and learn about ancient civilizations and magic artifacts.
• Retrieve unique magic artifacts to level up and improve your skills.
• Earn gold to buy items or to book an eagle flight to new lands.
• Cube World's unique per-land progression system makes finding loot, solving quests and clearing dungeons rewarding and exciting over and over again.
• Use your hang glider to take to the skies or explore the oceans with your boat.
• Find magic items to enter secret areas and to support you on your journey.
• Play solo singleplayer or join your friends in coop-online-multiplayer.

Wollay e Pixxie continueranno a lavorare a Cube World anche dopo il rilascio.
