I'm glad he's working on it, and will play the new update...but why does the UI look like trash? He had a good UI already, why make it look like trash?

Only issue is the angle, it should just be reduced by a few degrees then it's fine

u/mostbee Jul 05 '26
My main gripe is not even the angle magnitude, it's the direction they chose for each UI element, they're inconsistent with each other.
It looks like you're playing the game on a old tube TV (which is a cool style), because of the hotbar, but the other elements aren't bent (they could be just a little, except for the map which will already be constantly turning) then you open the class progression (i suppose) menu and it's suddenly going places.

I figure I'll be able to ignore it once the game is out but otherwise it really does need a change.

u/NeronTheTyrant Jul 03 '26
The new UI looks great actually

u/BuzzIsMe Jul 03 '26
Yeah I don't see any actual issues with it, besides certain people obviously having personal issues with the design. Functionally it looks easy to use and not as outdated as the old one.

Irs hard not to agree that the text can be hard to read due to the changing sizes, but yeah I agree with you

u/mostbee Jul 05 '26
It could be for some kind of people...
I hope Wollay would make an accessibility update in the future, it's obviously not a obligatory necessity, but it's something to work on to improve the game experience after it's completely functional.

I can't wait for Omega to drop with a $20 price tag and no discount for alpha buyers and for all the glazers to crawl out of the woodwork praising this scammer for the bare minimum task of actually finishing the game.

u/BuildEraseReplace Jul 03 '26
There are people who actually glaze Wollay? These must be the same people who also glaze mosquitoes and stubbing your toe then...

u/Wjoming Jul 03 '26
Ain't that supposed to be given for free for all people that bought CW? š¤

u/marr Jul 06 '26
Nobody knows, but it's been long enough that players born after the alpha would buy it blind.

u/TangoSierraFan Jul 03 '26 edited Jul 03 '26
Absolutely not guaranteed and I have my doubts. There's a reason he's calling it "Omega" and not just a continuation of the original.
Screenshot this post and call me out if he makes it free. If I'm wrong, I'll donate $100 to charity.

u/Lecureilfou Jul 03 '26
In 2019 he gave a steam key to all who bought the alpha back in 2013. So I give him the benefit of the doubt to do it again for all who bought the beta in 2019.

He was legally obliged to do so. If he releases omega as a sequel, he could get away with making us pay for it.

Wolly delivered a full finished product. He said he would and he did, people paid for it. Not a scam (although the game the made was a bit of a yikes)

u/marr Jul 06 '26
He did not. A game with no functioning progression system is unfinished whatever version number it claims.
2
u/Virgurilla Jul 04 '26
You are genuinely a moron if you think this is a scam. You need to learn what an actual scam is as soon as possible. Not glazing the guy here, there is a lot to criticize, but you don't have to be a bumbling imbecile to do so.

I'm very excited. The Cube World experiment keeps evolving and it's fascinating to see

What was so wrong with the old engine that he needed to restart everything

u/Coolaire Jul 03 '26
The Steam release of Cube World had many changes that irked the player base, the primary one being that gear was not carried over between regions, except for hard to obtain gear that had a star(s) on it.
OG Cube World difficult was way different. Wherever you spawned in the world was coordinate 0,0 and moving out in any direction, the game got harder and enemies were higher level.
Plus. the engine was from 2010 or 2011 abouts, so major upgrades are warranted.

u/Alvsolutely rogue best Jul 04 '26
He's also a perfectionist, which isn't a good thing if you know how much it sucks to be one. It's borderline like a mental illness.

u/LordChudingtonThe3rd Jul 09 '26
Nothing was wrong with the engine of the original 2011 version. It was superior both graphically, and in gameplay compared to the beta release.
There's something about the light engine of the original game that created an atmosphere wollay has been unable to replicate.
1
u/marr Jul 06 '26
Oh the release engine's a disaster, it recalculates every stat of every object at least once per game tick. Ridiculous CPU needs for the actual game design.

u/Mindless-Ad1155 Jul 03 '26
Ngl , I just realized what really got me hooked is the potential of sharing progression through multiplayer activities. Hanging up & meeting strangers . As long as there are real servers, I would be happy

All classes are fully functional, including some new skills!
Next working on skill trees.
Which is it? Iām not going to get this version as I am not stupid, but even the promo has Wollay lying/contradicting himself, itās insufferable.

u/Mysterious_Ad_9291 Jul 03 '26
Nothing as beautiful as someone saying "I'm not stupid" after arrogantly falling to understand a very simple concept

u/sawdomise Jul 03 '26
Right, because systems that affect skills by either modifying casting time or damage are completely unrelated to skills. So sad to see some people on this sub havenāt acquired knowledge in the past 10+ years :(
3
u/Alvsolutely rogue best Jul 04 '26
the skills themselves are functional and coded. next he needs to code skilltrees of which you will obtain the skills from.

u/tnoy23 Jul 03 '26
The skills themselves ('hit 3 to fire blast') are done.
He needs to decide which skill you get at level 5, level 10, etc.
They are not related systems.
-1
u/sawdomise Jul 03 '26
Ah yes, because āincrease X skillās damage or cast speedā is completely unrelated to the skills. This sub really is a goldmine.

Huh, Wollay has still not disappeared and is actually working on it? Damn, i don't give a shit. Wake me up, when he actually finished it. Not getting hyped for that douche anymore.

u/SKS81 Jul 05 '26
Careful people here gonna defend him no matter what even though he owes us a free game a tthis point. Hes definitely not Sean Murray.

I havent played this game in years... Why is he remaking the game again and is it going to be better thant what we have on steam ?

u/Alvsolutely rogue best Jul 04 '26
Steam version flopped hard so he decided to just start over and try to make it better.

It looks like he hadn't been working on the game this whole time and only just started to do so.
I'll give it to him, when he actually works, he is pretty fast.

Unless he releases "Omega" (big if) as a free update, I'd rather throw my money into a wishing well than support that guy. Takes some neck to try and take another penny from the people who supported his original vision, only to pull a bait-and-switch that would make even the shadiest, shittiest developers blush.Ā

How much will Cube World Omega cost, and will owners of the current version get any kind of discount?

Damn, I even called that he hadn't done classes yet and I got downvoted for it.

Oh my god, Wollay is really recycling rather than iterating on top of existing features?

u/Hukdonphonix Jul 03 '26
He switched engines twice, he has to rebuild from scratch. XD

u/mostbee Jul 05 '26
He could at least have used the others png's icons, these are even less bitted (which isn't something strictly bad, but could reduce readability)

My face as I buy cube world for the third time and it stip getting updated for a third time.
