Cubeworld - Minecraft style RPG ( INDIE )

[Neil79]

Ended up playing WarZ

Not impressed

So like Minecraft can you shape the game world in this? Dig and build blocks, etc?

Still hoping to be playing this at some point tonight - going to be a long night!

I'm in the same boat!

No, as far as I know! This game is more centered around exploration, discovering new cave systems and dungeons and such. Much more my cup of tea than minecraft tbh.

Correct

Think of this as a Skyrim/Minecraft/Zelda mix

Experimental Massively Multiplayer Server

We will experiment with the possiblity of higher populated multiplayer servers, without compromising game balance and performance.

Brilliant

I must admit I'm not impressed with the length of time of a closure to the shop to buy a product.

Ha, gamers are the most impatient people ever!

But yeah still waiting

 

[CliffyG]

No one actually played this yet then?

We already resolved many issues tonight. User registrations are up again, but the shop will take a while.

Managed to create an account this morning but the store is still closed.

Can't really be upset with the store being closed/their site being hammered, they are after all a two person dev team.

Look at it! Half the planet probably wants to buy it and then cuddle it.

An indie dev can't exactly invest in massive bandwidth beforehand in the hopes of having a massive hit, they'll need time to scale up.

I really hope it comes up again soon, been looking forward to this game for a while

A developer should always have back up plans!

What if there was a hard drive failure? What if the site was hacked? Lots of what if's but always have that back up ready. Remember I talk to developers on a daily basis

 

[Shamikebab]

Is there a reason they didn't go for a Steam release through Greenlight or something?

No Steam
No Desura

I didn't even get to see if they were using Paypal as a payment, most likely they wanted the money directly without any inbetweener taking a cut. However we are not alone with issues, those that did get to buy are having lag and some didn't even get their game yet. The game wasn't up for that long!

I wonder how many people hit the buy option

 

[Murray]

It does use Paypal, they asked for people that have paid and didn't get the game to send them the paypal transaction id.

 

[Neil79]

Niiiiice

So do I, and I wish I didn't have to

Most developers I have to deal with don't see beyond their code - infrastructure is just something that springs up magically to support their creations. I bet these guys are having a rude awakening to the world of physical requirements But being mad at them is like being mad at puppies.

 

[Murray]

I can't blame them for wanting the most direct payment possible though. They are married and have clearly put a LOT of time into making this game.

this game looks very entertaining hope the shop up soon
