Q.U.B.E. 2

[Shredorex]

So Q.U.B.E. 2 is a thing in the works. We're keeping tight-lipped about the development at this stage but would love to hear what people would like to see in the game, what could be cool to include and what features the original game lacked that you'd like to see in the sequel.

The game is being made in Unreal Engine 4.

Make a level where you walk on the outside of the QUBE.

Thanks for the update!

I do have a couple of things that I would like to see in the game:

1. Most importantly, performance increases. Q.U.B.E. really is at it's finest on higher display settings, but these really cause the game to lag. I can only get acceptable perfromance on lower display settings. Against The Qlock also seems to lag much worse than the regular game.

2. I would actually like to take a look back inside the alien Qube. Burn's comment about the puzzles being understandable to a human really threw me for a loop. There's got to be a reason for this. There's got to be a lot more stuff on that Qube... though no doubt you guys have plans for this already. ;)

Maybe QUBE 2 could be through that guy on the radio and the ending is were he's about to reach jonathans shuttle

I hate bringing up Portal 2 because the Portal series is always mentioned in other first person puzzler forums. But I don't think it hurts to examine why that sequel worked so well. It not only continued the story in a really good way, but -- most importantly -- it introduced new concepts and mechanics to make the puzzles fresh. And that's what I think is needed to make Q.U.B.E. 2 work. The mobility gels were impleneted geniusly. I don't think Q.U.B.E. 2 will be as well received as the first if it's just the same concepts in a new environment with a continued story.

So how can you expand on the core concept of what makes Q.U.B.E. Q.U.B.E.? And once you do that, how can you integrate it into the story? Maybe you can do what Valve did and take a look around at other small independent games for ideas to acquire. But maybe you can come up with something unique. IIt should be new puzzle elements that work so well with the core concepts that it'd be hard to imagine them being used in another game. So it's going to take more than just adding low gravity or other tired puzzler concepts..

HOLY HELL HAPPENING.

EVERYONE TO THE HAPPENING BUNKER.

I read up on your website that the sequel was a possibility, but not something to get hopes up onto, but it's really happening.

Get hype.

[Porygon]

Get Hype indeed. :D

I second Le master's comment.

That's good to hear. Should hopefully make Linux support easier to manage.

Also, some great thoughts by Le Master there.

Sounds good, thanks for the comments so far. Q.U.B.E. Director's Cut is also coming to Mac and Linux. Don't have an official release date yet though.

Happy to hear that!

Also pointing people to this: "10 Indie Games To Put On Your Radar In 2015". You may spot a familiar game there ;) https://twitter.com/IGN/status/613994599716139008

That's very neat. :) I find it odd that Lumino City and Sunless Sea are on that list though. They were both released long before that article was posted.

Glad to hear that, looking forward to seeing it. Can you give any sort of information on how far along the port is?

[Shredorex]

Sweet. It's pretty far along and we're doing some more testing. Can't say much else right now.

Thanks for the update!
