Minecraft x Zelda + Voxels = Cube World

You can definitely see the Minecraft influence in the overall environments and the talk about procedurally generated regions, but other than that I don't think there's enough similarity to dismiss it as a simple ripoff (like some people are already doing). If anything, it looks like an upgraded, free-roaming variation of 3D Dot Game Heroes. In any case, I think it looks like a fun side-title. What about you guys?

loo's pretty sweet

It looks pretty fun, If it has multiplayer, I'm sold :3

Looks nice but dang that combat seems...Flimsy.

It's like Tribes: Ascend, but everyone's melee and made of cubes!

Multiplayer is confirmed.

I would waste time playing this. It fulfills my need to be surrounded by and kill cute things while being cute. I wasn't totally sold until the second video, when purple dude did a somersault. I mean, I know it's a roll after finishing the video, but that doesn't make it not also a somersault.

Like, the combat looks really simplistic, and he damn well better program in some quests other than "I vant you to keel seex snow moose," but this could be the answer to the prayers of those on NPF who haven't given up hope on something like that NPF MUD from so long ago. As in, running around wrecking shit for no reason and accomplishing nothing with these fine people.

If I can make my own voxel man, though. Man. Oh man, I'd consider getting a real computer with windows on it to play that. Site says it'll have "player customization" and planned Mac support. That's a good start.

I'm hoping he can pin down a release date soon, or at least a time he can get something like an alpha or beta set up.

So, here's a recent video demonstrating a new combat system, in that you flail wildly for a time then unleash a special move:

But I'm not posting it because it shows Wollay is at least thinking of making combat more complex than, "Get close and hope you win." No, it's because of how cute the elf looks when it swims thirty seconds in.

So, here's a recent video demonstrating a new combat system, in that you attack when you see an opening and try to avoid counter-attacks instead of flailing wildly for a time then unleashing a special move:

I'm posting it (and necroing this thread) because it shows Wollay has made combat more complex than "Get close and hope you win." Also, because Cubeworld is now randomly generated Monster Hunter Lite. Blog link for slightly more detail.

I'd be more interested in this if ripped off minecraft more tbh.

Like if you're gonna procedurally generate a world outta blocks then give me a way to dig it up and build stuff out of it.
