Looks amazing. Watching some Yogscast highlights on YouTube (like this 4 player coop dungeon dive, the first let's play from Martyn is here). Check out the features...

How does this offer anything more than what Minecraft already does?

[Seriphyn]

Did you click on any of the links? Minecraft doesn't offer the same thing at all.

I have been playing it (had to torrent since the site is down for purchase; will purchase once it is up). The only similarity to Minecraft is the fact that both are voxel, and both have procedurally generated, infinite worlds.

While Minecraft is a sandbox building game with RPG elements tacked on, this is very much an RPG game from the ground-up. The towns are quite large and function as any RPG town would; there are districts for crafting, shops, etc.

If anyone gets this let me know; would love to play multiplayer.

[Ghost Hunter]

The links weren't clear to me in any meaningful way. One bad generalization, and some lets plays that aren't particularly enlightening.

What I gathered from seeing the game played is that this is simply something a much heavier, RPG focused mod, on Minecraft could achieve.

[Seriphyn]

Genuinely not sure if Minecraft mod could implement the combat system Cube World has, though.

Again, only similarity to Minecraft is the voxel graphics. Generally seems to be a better program too.

[Anslol]

The amount of work needed to make a Minecraft server run a mod that affects everyone at the level of Cube World is enough that you may as well build the game.

Also, at least to me, Cube World is a lot easier on the eyes and doesn't require a change in skins to keep my eyes from going derp.

[Seriphyn]

Right, Minecraft is a building game. Cube World is an RPG.

Having lots of fun with it; can see the potential as I play. Am pretty desperate for a multiplayer partner though <_<

J4LP has had a decent minority of members with their own Mumble channel that play this pretty much nonstop outside of Eve-time.

[Anslol]

I'd play if I had gotten a CLOSED BETA INVITE.

[Katrina Oniseki]

Holy shit, want. Looking forward to this one. I hope it's cheap though... Minecraft is like $30 now.

[Morwen Lagann]

Looks fun, but I might have to pass for the same reason I've passed on Minecraft thus far: I already play one game that sucks away all my free time.

[Anslol]

Holy shit, want. Looking forward to this one. I hope it's cheap though... Minecraft is like $30 now.

I called bullshit on this before looking it up.

Mother of God and all that is holy, $26.95?! Glad I bought it when it was like...$5.

I'm enjoying it okay so far but I have no idea what I'm doing.
