In contrast to many games, worlds are not designed by a level designer, but generated procedurally by the game using math and random numbers. The result is an endless world (nearly endless, i.e. players can't reach the borders), so players can explore new landscapes all the time.<br><br>Every Cube World day, new missions are available. Missions send players to dungeons or huge boss monsters. Completing a mission gives valuable rewards like weapons, armor and platinum coins. Platinum coins can be used to upgrade weapons and armor.<br><br>If a player likes a land he can basically stay forever in that land and just do daily missions.</strong>"<br><br>Cube World looks like a game that solves some of the outstanding issues I had with Minecraft. Don't get me wrong, Minecraft is a great game that I enjoy but I wanted a bit more adventuring. Cube World is a game with a very lush art style that seems to pull more of those adventuring elements and keeps all of the blocky wonder, crafting and survival.<br><br>Recently Picroma, the company behind Cube World released the game and the demand was so large it crashed the servers. They have since shut it down and are fixing things for another launch. When the game becomes available I am going to immediately pick it up and depending on how that goes, I may start a server we can play together :D<br><br>The Cube World site provides a pretty good overview if you are looking for more information.<br><br><a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://picroma.com/cubeworld#overview">https://picroma.com/cubeworld#overview</a><br><br>A fun video of a few people having fun in a alpha build of Cube World.<br><br><a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N01LOl-Q8EE">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N01LOl-Q8EE</a>2014-05-12T23:48:26Zjdodson
