Cube World appeared to mesh both in this type of way to be able to bring together the procedurally generated worlds of Minecraft along with the world destruction and mesh them with all the questing and adventuring facets of Zelda. It was capable to achieve all of the while still only being a couple of weeks to the development cycle. Amazing to the least.Unfortunately there were still a lot about the game we didnt know like whether or not Minecraft and Zelda were inspirations when the game was supposed to obtain released or even exactly what the planned distribution channel was for the game.Luckily the games developer Wolfram von Funck got a your hands on me to resolve several questions. EnjoyCan you explain just a little bit with relation to you being a game developer and what youve done previouslyIm 32 yrs . old are now living in Germany and possess programmed games and engines half of my life. Besides that Im also thinking about drawing and digital art. I have studied computer science and after receiving my PhD I started my own, personal 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 like a Minecraft/Zelda hybrid. Was this your intention What was your inspiration behind the gameMaking a hybrid of those games wasnt my intention through the beginning however the idea developed over time. Both Minecraft and Zelda were definitely big inspirations for me.What I like about Minecraft could be the fact that a procedurally generated world constructed of cubes allows a single developer to create a full 3D game with a huge world to explore. You dont even need level editors modeling software or even a team of artists. Furthermore programming a game engine depending on voxels is certainly easier compared to a full-blown 3D engine like CryEngine or UnrealEngine at the expense of realism that literally brings me on the next inspirations I love games like Zelda Landstalker Secret of Mana and Final Fantasy. As a youngster Ive always dreamt of making a real game by myself. So the next step for Cube World ended up being to translate the standard JRPG pixel art style (big head spiky hair etc.) into the world of voxels. Thats what I did plus a Minecraft/Zelda baby came beyond itHow long has Cube World been in development forI started the project this coming year on May 25. I was captivated through the project right from the start so that it reached an extremely mature state already from a couple of weeks (including some sleepless nights).What form of gameplay are you planning Cube World Questing Crafting RPG elementsId like to put a solid increased exposure of questing so theres always something meaningful to do. As the world is procedurally generated the quests will be procedurally generated too. This saves me from scripting hundreds of quests and also the players get new tasks all of the time. Another focus ought to be the exploration from the Cube World as well as character advancement within 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 generally seems to be setup for multiplayer. Are you planningon this being primarily a multiplayer gameI have built in multiplayer right through the start to avoid complications inside the future development. I see the game as both single player and multiplayer game.This may be somewhat ways off but have you ever considered how youre going to release/distribute the game Are you considering an identical process as Minecraft where players bought the Alpha versionI do not have any concrete plans yet. I cant even estimate when the game will be finished. However the Steam platform seems attractive to me.Anything else you are able to think of to tell usI had never expected a real huge feedback for my little game project. It all started over at TIGForums (forums.tigsource.com) where I just intended to share my project with other indie developers to acquire feedback and inspirations from like-minded people. I recommend it along with other indie developers you obtain plenty of constructive critique there.Well be keeping close tabs on this game in the future because it develops.
