Download Free Beta Of Cube World

Cube World did actually mesh the 2 in this kind of way to be able to bring together the procedurally generated worlds of Minecraft along with all the world destruction and mesh them while using questing and adventuring aspects of Zelda. It was able to achieve all with this while still only being a few weeks to the development cycle. Amazing to say the least.Unfortunately there is still a lot concerning the game we didnt know like whether Minecraft and Zelda were inspirations when the action was supposed to obtain released or even just what the planned distribution channel was for the game.Luckily the games developer Wolfram von Funck got a hold of me to reply to a number of questions. EnjoyCan you explain a little bit about yourself being a game developer and what youve done previouslyIm 32 years old live in Germany and also have programmed games and engines half of my life. Besides that Im also enthusiastic about drawing and digital art. I have studied computer science and after receiving my PhD I started my very own small graphics software company (www.picroma.com). Game programming remains my hobby and Cube World is my first serious game project.Your game Cube World looks remarkably being a Minecraft/Zelda hybrid. Was this your intention What was your inspiration behind the gameMaking a hybrid of those games wasnt my intention in the beginning however the idea developed over time. Both Minecraft and Zelda were definitely big inspirations for me.What I like about Minecraft will be the fact a procedurally generated world comprised of cubes allows a single developer to develop a full 3D game using a huge world to explore. You dont even need level editors modeling software or a team of artists. Furthermore programming a game engine based on voxels is definitely easier than the usual full-blown 3D engine like CryEngine or UnrealEngine in the expense of realism that literally brings me to the next inspirations I love games like Zelda Landstalker Secret of Mana and Final Fantasy. As a youngster Ive always dreamt of earning such a game by myself. So the subsequent step for Cube World would happen to be to translate the normal JRPG pixel art style (big head spiky hair etc.) into the entire world of voxels. Thats what I did as well as a Minecraft/Zelda baby came beyond itHow long has Cube World held it's place in development forI started the project in 2010 on May 25. I was captivated through the project right from the start so that it reached a fairly mature state already following a few weeks (including some sleepless nights).What form of gameplay have you been planning for Cube World Questing Crafting RPG elementsId like to put a powerful focus on questing so theres always something meaningful to do. As the globe is procedurally generated the quests will be procedurally generated too. This saves me from scripting a huge selection of quests and the players get new tasks every among the time. Another focus should be the exploration of the Cube World also as character advancement in the typical RPG style by skills and equipment. Combat is planned to become HacknSlash-like and fast-paced. There will probably be no crafting or mining.The game seems to already be set up for multiplayer. Are you planningon this being primarily a multiplayer gameI have integrated multiplayer right from the start to stop complications inside the future development. I begin to determine the game as both single player and multiplayer game.This might be just a little ways off but have you contemplated how youre going to release/distribute the overall game Are you considering an identical process as Minecraft where players bought the Alpha versionI dont have any concrete plans yet. I cant even estimate when the game will probably be finished. However the Steam platform seems popular with me.Anything else you can think of to inform usI had never expected such a huge feedback for my little game project. It all started over at TIGForums (forums.tigsource.com) where I just designed to share my project along with other indie developers to have feedback and inspirations from like-minded people. I recommend it to other indie developers you receive a lot of constructive critique there.Well be keeping close tabs on this game inside the future mainly because it develops.
