Cube World gave the sense to mesh both in such a way so as to bring together the procedurally generated worlds of Minecraft along with all the world destruction and mesh them using the questing and adventuring areas of Zelda. It was capable of achieve all of the while still only being a few weeks in to the development cycle. Amazing to say the least.Unfortunately there were still a great deal about the game we didnt know like whether Minecraft and Zelda were inspirations when the action was supposed to acquire released and even exactly what the planned distribution channel was for your game.Luckily the games developer Wolfram von Funck got a their hands on me to reply to a few questions. EnjoyCan you explain a little bit with relation to its you as being a game developer and what youve done previouslyIm 32 yrs . old live in Germany and possess programmed games and engines half of my life. Besides that Im also interested in drawing and digital art. I have studied computer science and after receiving my PhD I started my 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 just like a Minecraft/Zelda hybrid. Was this your intention What was your inspiration behind the gameMaking a hybrid of these 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 is the fact which a procedurally generated world comprised of cubes allows just one developer to create a full 3D game having a huge world to explore. You have no idea need level editors modeling software or even a team of artists. Furthermore programming a game engine according to voxels is by far easier when in comparison to a full-blown 3D engine like CryEngine or UnrealEngine with the price of realism that can bring me on the next inspirations I love games like Zelda Landstalker Secret of Mana and Final Fantasy. As a kid Ive always dreamt of creating this kind of game by myself. So the following step for Cube World ended up being translate the standard JRPG pixel art style (big head spiky hair etc.) into the planet of voxels. Thats what I did as well as a Minecraft/Zelda baby came out of itHow long has Cube World held it's place in development forI started the project in 2010 on May 25. I was captivated by the project right in the start so that it reached an extremely mature state already following a few weeks (including some sleepless nights).What kind 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 planet is procedurally generated the quests will likely be procedurally generated too. This saves me from scripting a huge selection of quests along with the players get new tasks all the time. Another focus needs to be the exploration of the Cube World as well as character advancement inside the typical RPG style by skills and equipment. Combat is planned to be HacknSlash-like and fast-paced. There is likely to be no crafting or mining.The game seems to be set up for multiplayer. Are you planningon this being primarily a multiplayer gameI have integrated multiplayer right from the start to avoid complications in the future development. I start to view the game as both single player and multiplayer game.This could be somewhat ways off but maybe you have thought about how youre planning to release/distribute the action Are you thinking of 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 probably be finished. However the Steam platform seems attractive to me.Anything else it is possible to think about to share with 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 designed to share my project with indie developers to have feedback and inspirations from like-minded people. I recommend it along with other indie developers you receive a large amount of constructive critique there.Well be keeping close tabs with this game inside future as it develops.
