[@wolx3226]

I remember playing this game when it was in alpha too bad that we ended up with a game that >Punishes exploration >Rewards mindless farming which in turn makes gameplay repetitive >It doesn't contain most of the features planned/teased >and the worst, a lot of good alpha features were even simply removed.

[@alias4216]

How does the steam release reward mindless farming more than the alpha? I agree with every other point but the alpha progression was largely: kill any enemy -> gain xp.

[@de4d86]

one thing about the game that i always thought was so cool as a kid was the Spirit Cube mechanic, which as far as i can tell was the only actual gameplay mechanic that made use of the games voxels, it was where you could add blocks to your weapons to give them special stats. the problem was that you only got spirit cubes from beating bosses, which was hard enough given how the game was balanced, and a boss would only give a single cube, meaning it would take AGES to get any meaningful upgrades to your weapons through them. i always imagined being able to craft your own awesome looking weapon block by block but that simply wouldve taken too long to ever do (and apparently they removed this whole system in the Steam release anyway lol)

[@dialko2596]

There was a way to customize weapons with normal materials too. E.g. you could use iron to add to a sword and make it more powerful

[@moja-s9w]

I was a kid and I was super bummed out why I couldn't get lots of spirit cubes and customize my armor etc. So I remember going on forums/youtube hoping to find a solution, and it was hacking/modding the game with Cheat Engine, so I found a super lengthy tutorial and applied it and was super happy lol.

[@alfonshedstrom9859]

Oh man I totally forgot about that mechanic. It was actually one of the coolest things and I am once again sad it is gone. Honestly the artifact system could have just been getting spirit cubes of different sorts that have different effects on equipment. Like a fire cube on a weapon adds fire to certain skills, but if it's on a piece of armor it adds an effect when hit or something.

All they had to add some more things like 1-Stats (str, int, dex, hp, armor, mana) to equipments (They will be scaled with levels and rarity and randomly upgraded from drop. So for example, you found a wand with 103 intelligence point and another wand you dropped can have 120 intelligence) 2-more skills for each class (for example stealth based skill tree for dagger classes that makes you dash and be invisible, gain a burst of movement speed for a short period of time and if you attack an enemy while you're invis, you deal super crit. Or you can choose a bleed skill path. Maybe you're a intelligence based mage who using daggers so you got a poison skill path and have more magical abilities like spawning a copy of you or leeching opponents' soul by hitting them) 3- more complicated food system. Different ingredient roosters for each biome and every ingredient gives you different temporary buffs and you can combine them in a cooking pot to get a better food that fits best for your choice and game style. For example, you got a glowing seaweed from ocean biome which will give you a mana shield as you deal magic damage. And you combined that ingredient with mana flux which is dropped by an enemy from dessert biome. Mana flux gives you cooldown reduction so it synergises with glowing seaweed. But if you're playing with skills that have already low cooldowns, you can choose another ingredient which gives you mana regen speed. I just threw those ideas from my head right now. Imagine how creative things they can bring with those (like shooting flaming skulls with each hit for dexterity based on hit builds or so) 4- pets that are actually good. Most pets are the same in cube world. Some of them just bulkier or some of them has range. But it could be better. Every pet in game could have unique abilities that can make you synergise with your build to engage you to create your own playstyle and prevent people from making a meta. For example, If you're a arrow user, an armadillo pet that has ability to take aggro of enemies to take them off you. Or if you built a non mobile melee build, a fire slime pet that exploding on death and spreading lava would be synergised with you because enemies will attack you and you're a tank. So lava covered floor can deal non stop burn dmg to enemies that you're dealing. Or I'll double down, let's say that you're playing a caster mage build. An magical pixie pet can absorb enemies mana per hit and give that mana to you. So what happens is you can chose a pet that have his own unique ability of your own. 5- costumizeable equipments. This mechanic exists in alpha too. You can put spirits to your weapons to enhance it's abilities. This mechanic can be carried to a better state. For example a spirit that will be charged every time you hit enemy with weapon it attached. And when it's charged, your next attack will zap chain your enemies and stun them for a 0.5 second, slowing them for 3 second. You can use it to kite your enemy. Or a spirit that leechs hp every time you hit. I still have too many things in my head that would make this game a game of the year easily. But I'm tired. So much wasted potential. I hope our kids will see omega version and it will be good.

Cube World was so muchf un when it originally started releasing. I remember watching BDoubleO100's playthrough of it and it was great

[@bismyan1019]

I played it as well. Was really excited when it came out.

I remember playing cube world when it was in that early alpha stage, then we get that crazy long decade wait for nothing.

Good video! By the way, your character has the same eye and hair color as mine. 😹💛

I’m ngl. I personally like how long it takes to travel in Alpha. At least for me, it gives a sense of fulfillment when I finally reach whatever destination

I remember a couple of people i followed playing it on youtube and i was excited for future updates, then i saw no one playing it anymore and thought it was cancelled

The region system is so crippling. I could see the region system working if it was a reputation mechanic, where people in that region's towns would give you better or harder quests once they started recognizing your skill. Obviously people in different regions wouldn’t know your reputation somewhere else, so you need to work toward building that up again. But losing your gear is never fun.
