[Discussion] Cube World Omega Announcement

[haze]

Please share your opinions on this announcement here, and keep it civil! This will doubtless be a controversial announcement but I ask that we keep our takes nice and lukewarm.

IMPORTANT NOTE

To answer the question 90% of players at this point seem to have: we do not know if Omega will be a free upgrade or a new game. No one really does except for Wollay.

I got bored and decided to see how this game is going and I see this... If its free ill give it a try. If I gotta pay for it then not a chance. After what was done with this version of the game, im not shelling out any more money unless I see some kind of indication that it will actually be worth it. Fool me once, shame of you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Well I think that's what everyone is hoping Wollay is going to do, it would be pretty stupid to leave behind the people that actually supported you for so many years by not making it a free update. I know if he did, that people would turn on him the first day he releases this new version.

For stuff like this you really need the good word of mouth from them, not only to bring back those that left but to gain new people that decided not to buy it because of all the bad press it got on release. You know, another No Man's Sky situation. Unless he doesn't care, at this point I don't even want to try to guess what goes on his mind.

i mean, he could always code it for console and have it on the next Xbox gamepass. seems to be AAA companies EZ bail out card when they know they had messed up but think they have it all fixed now.

"hey guys we put out a big update we think resolved many issues. also if you have gamepass its free this month!"

it never fails. i literally watched warhammer darktide rise from the ashes of its launch this past few weeks.

[Mharr]

Oh really? That's good news tbh, it was upsetting to see Imperial Guard Vermintide die on its arse.

Coding for console is the smart move in any case, if CW ever does come back to life Switch and Deck is its natural home.

it probably is a new game and no free update. if it is anything like the cubeworld alpha ,i would probably buy again. But not before it is finished this time. i will not be fooled again by nice videos and promises he will never keep.

OG backer here. So many promises left unfulfilled to this day. As honest as possible; you won't get a cent more from me. However, if you give us the update and its great, I'd sing nothing but praise. I want to love the game again.

[FRANKOOK]

Not buying it again, always same story. Either it is an Update, or i will wait for the 5th "CUBE WORLD to be released before I give any more money on a game that never updates" We are on the 2nd one as of now....

Where can I find out more about this Omega update? Is there an expected release for Omega?

You have both Wollay's blog and twitter (but it seems his twitter @wol_lay is more active on updates), and we don't have anything about a release, other than "when it's ready™" which could be the next year or in 6 years, you never know with him.

Honestly I wouldn't expect to get the update in the near future but rather in 3+ years, looking back on how long it took for the beta launch.

Like Zatsu said, I recommend to check out the blog[wollay.com] and twitter.
If you want to be kept updated on all news regarding wollay / cube world I can recommend the community-hosted discord[discord.com].
I think they do a solid job on bundling all news into one chat, even with some private messages like mails.

[Trikesse]

Probably just gonna be Wollay new cash grab of the same game for the last 10 year that he is gonna sell and never update after release even though there is barely anything new. Bringing weather and GUI that's what we waited 4 years for lol.

Wollay's not a game maker anymore just a scam artist

[Mharr]

If this is a scam it's a wildly unprofitable one by modern standards. Compare to what people manage on mobile with a minimum viable game engine and a P2W gem shop.

[magnificent moose]

Isn't Cube World stiill running on a custom engine that Wollay built himself? If you ask me nobody who shipped a non-trivial 3D game in a custom engine can be called a "scam artist". If only people had any idea how much work it is to ship anything if you have to make everything yourself.

[Mharr]

Exactly, the #1 tell for scam games is asset flips pasted over a default demo engine. Cube World is sadly unsuccessful outsider art.
