![]() When the update comes, Im counting on you. I hope Cube World manages to retain and maybe even grow it’s fanbase to an even larger extent in the coming months. I know because I do it for a living Still, I know its hard to add all this stuff, but so far, great job. Honestly, it’s really nice to see that von Funck has been able to move past some obviously deeply upsetting events in the past and finally get around to make his game a reality. ![]() Everyone who owns the game will have a Steam key sent to their Picroma account before the beta goes live on September 23. In fact, a beta for the game will be starting up next week on Steam. Fortunately for fans, von Funck has been able to recover to the point were Cube World is a reality once more. He revealed in a blog post about why progress on the game stagnated, citing the DDoS of the game’s shop and various mental health problems delaying progress. But after years and years of no updates, it comes back having somehow regressed. That was until last week when developer Wolfram von Funck (great name, btw) announced that after six years of silence, Cube World would finally be releasing onto Steam this year. Many of us were caught up in the early hype when the game took off in alpha. It fell silent, leaving many fans of the game disappointed and frustrated with the lack of updates. The final result is a rich puzzle experience whose gameplay is full of joyful aha-moments and surprises, set in very diverse, colorful. Yet after years of early access development…nothing. The Last Cube has come a long way since its inception in 2017 and has grown into a far more ambitious project than we ever could have imagined, said Max Samarin, creative director at Improx Games. Cube World, on a wing and prayer, managed to successful break into the market with a greater focus on RPG mechanics providing players more direction in a world that, let’s be honest, was basically lifted directly from Minecraft. Most of these games failed dismally, unable to hold a torch up against the behemoth that was Minecraft…except for one. Later in the post, Wollay describes the upcoming release as "basically Cube World 2.0." In the lead-up to today's announcement, Wollay has resumed posting screenshots and short videos of Cube World to Twitter, the most important of which is clearly Wollay's confirmation that players can pet all friendly animals in the game.The game which many have considered to be dead in the water was announced to finally be launching later this year with the beta starting sooner than expected.Īt the boom of Minecraft’s popularity all those years ago, many contenders for the game’s throne of popularity threw their hat in the ring of fighters, seeking desperately to challenge the unprecedented popularity of the blocky survival/creation game. ![]() "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." "I don't want to go into the details, but I'm dealing with anxiety and depression ever since," Wollay writes in the recent blog post. Though the alpha was well-received by many players, Wollay says a denial-of-service (DDoS) attack against the Cube World website at the time informed his reluctance towards providing updates over the years. As of 2017, Wollay still posted periodic progress shots on Twitter while many players contented themselves with playing the game's 2013 alpha build. Before his "coming soon" announcement earlier this month, the last time Wollay made a substantial update on the official Cube World website was in mid-2014. ![]()
