I was able to purchase.. I think in the short term this game needs a balance patch that fixes the damage dealt/taken and EXP earned. Although looking at the devs' Twitter, it seems like they'll be busy with customer support for the next few weeks and won't have time for development.
I wonder what the sales numbers are.. I bet they became millionaires overnight?

I was surprised to find that this game isn't on Steam Greenlight.
Except for Mage being OP as **** ( player and npc ) damage and xp seems fine to me.
Thought I don't know much about the multiplayer balance.
I've been playing with 6 other friends, so at least 7. You just can't see their names.
I agree that a tutorial would be handy, but again, this is a bare-bones alpha so its to be expected. Heck, some of the alpha games I've previously played have been in worse condition than this. That isn't to say that Wollay should ignore all criticism, because this is what an alpha is for and critiquing is the best tool to learning.
If you check out the main website for Cube World, you'll find that he is wanting to implement a story into the game that offers a flow of progress, and I presume the cities will become more interesting over time with the addition of new "things" to do. For now I'm currently happy with what the alpha is offering, but I can't wait to see what Wollay has planned. With how the mechanics are implemented, a number of the damage and XP changes could be made so damn easily, I find he has actually done really well in how he programmed everything.
Edit: Also for those still having trouble with not knowing how to "work" the game, hit F1 and also check the FAQ on the front page for a quick list on what to do.
It's officially supposed to be only 2 - 4, but servers can be set to higher. It just gets really unbalanced.
For a few hours last night..too many people site was down.
Also site is back but yet CAN'T buy the game =(
I got to play for a few hours today. I am currently lvl 7 rouge, its really fun! Some of the balance is a little wonky, and I'm not really sure how to fight mages, they always seem way harder than their similar difficulty level counterparts.
Fighting the big lizard / turtle bosses is really fun!
I can't wait to see what they do with this game.

I actually find quite refreshing the fact that the game isn't hand holding you, or making you lvl10 after 1 hour of play time. Kind of make me think of final fantasy 11.

Finally died, troll boss on top of a mountain. Guess I need to get more abilities. I went for pet skills early on so I only have 1 extra ability at a low level.
What's the combat in this like anyway? I love everything I see about the game, but, then in the OT it compares the combat to Skyrim and Minecraft and I instantly lost all hype the rest of the post was building up. I like Minecraft/Skyrim but the combat in both games is crap, I play/ed them solely for a big huge world to explore and various systems to interact with (mining, crafting, etc. in Minecraft).
What exactly do you do in this game anyway besides fight dudes, and, is the fighting actually fun?

Well, the combat is pretty basic. But everything (or most things) can be dodged by running or using a dodge button. Some enemies have a few attacks, and some charge up like attacks.
The classes all play different, the rouge builds up mp by attacking and then you can expend the mp for a more powerful attack. It's important to use this when the enemy is not blocking!
On the downside, there appears to only be 4 or so skills for each class.
Well that alone sounds more interesting than the combat in Skyrim and Minecraft combined, so, that makes me feel a bit better. I will probably check this game out in the future when it's more... stable I guess.
I think the site's down at the moment. If it can't connect to update it won't work.
Try running as administrator or deleting cursor.plx
Mostly fight, thought I find exploring is a big part of the game too since it's help you gather ressources for craft, and you might find a random boss worth farming ( my ranger just killed for the sixth time a sheep boss to get some fire spirit +5 ( used to upgrade weapon )).
As ranger ( didn't play other classes much ) I really like the fights in the game, evasive roll are more than needed to survive most Boss fight and groupe of ennemies, but also well timed knock out ( with charged arrow at distance, or the kick at melee ) and the jump I just unlocked is also a life changer.
It's still pretty basic thought, at the moment most boss seems to have only few special move variety, and classes only have like 4 skill ( thought left/right clic vary a little depending of the kind of weapon you use too ). But I'm pretty confident it well get better.

Wind spirit? Go to a workbench in a city and attach the block to one of your weapons.
Ok yeah, this certainly sounds pretty cool. So it has meaningful exploration and somewhat interesting combat. I am totally on board, at some point.

Exploration is pretty much crucial unless you enjoy grinding the same enemies over and over again. You'll stumble across dungeons and boss fights as you explore, and it's just a beautiful game to adventure in. Having a hang glider makes exploration 100x better though.
I see this game getting really big and I'm excited for content updates!

This game beats on my graphics card, I had to underclock it to 50 % just to stop it from ctding due to heat

For those who can't connect to their website or update their game, Wollay's site is getting DDoSed.
Enable vsync and that will help a lot. Game has no FPS limiter so it will run at like 200+FPS

I finally got my confirmation email. *goes to buy the game* "The shop is currently disabled due to server maintenance. Please try again later."
Yeah. No. I give up.

Sigh... They should just put it on steam.
Yeah, I have 1600 hours in Minecraft currently (not a lot compared to some people sure, but, respectable by any stretch of the imagination) and my favorite thing to do in the game has always been to go out exploring. The main reason to do that is to get supplies to build stuff, but, eventually you just sort of hit a point where you have more supplies than you know what to do with unless you are working on a really large project.
But that's half besides the point, my main thing here is in all those hours I've often wished I had a similar feeling game that had more interesting combat. This looks like it could scratch that itch.

This may be too out-there, but what if you could buy a plot of land and build a house or town or something? Like a sandbox plot, free to build what you please Minecraft-style. It would be enough to scratch the creativity itch.
This is the boat I'm in. I've been trying for 4 days in the little time I get off work to be at home and play games to pick this up. I'm usually pretty patient, but man. This is absurdity.

cool....now I get to wait another day or 2 to give them my monies.
I got my account activated so the battle is half won already!
Guess they weren't ready for this so I can be patient even though I dont like it
I wouldn't be opposed, but, I already have Minecraft for when I want to create things. I've mostly just always wanted a game with interesting combat/character progression with similar trappings to Minecraft (Randomly generated worlds, cube aesthetic, random dungeons, etc) so this looks exactly like what I've wanted, eerily so almost.

It's shit like this that really gives the net a bad name.
Whilst I love steam and would love to see this game on steam I do appreciate that it is now a damn sight harder for indie devs to get access to the service now with this shitty "greenlight" crap. You can bet your life if they had gone the steam route you would still be waiting and saying "why did they use steam why not release it on their website".
On another note how the hell do you use hang gliders ? I bought one from the shop put it in the "special" slot and I have no clue where to go from there.
I believe he is planning to do that in some future update.

Pet questions!
1) If I catch and use a new pet, does it release and de-level my old pet? I may want to grab a Dog and switch back to my Cat at some point.
2) Do various pets do anything different or is it entirely cosmetic (besides the ones you can ride)?

He's definitely planning housing, but it won't be a free creation system like Minecraft. From the video he showed before you'll be limited to pre-built pieces that you place together.

This is beautiful. How did you remove the HUD and character and such? Cropping?

Urgh. They need a key to remove the HUD and stuff.
You can have as many pets as you want, but I believe you can not double up on the same pet type (i.e. can't have two turtles). Each pet does offer different abilities and tactics. Currently it seems bats and turtles are the best, with bats offering high damage and turtles able to stunlock enemies.
