"When you can't have what you like, you like what you can have"
Anyways, how is this game? Fun, worth to jump into?
To those asking what is like
Ive never played Minecraft, but i was kinda enjoying this Cube Life a lot.
What it is
You have a huge map divided into several areas
The map is an open world. Yet you have to endure a LONG loading screen every time you cross into a new area
Objective is just to survive. There´s Food, thirst and life meters. You need to drink coconuts or eat mangos for water. You get food from all fruit and fishs and animal meat
You can creat tools and a lot of other stuff in a "craft table"
Game is set on islands, so its a game with a lot of water (hi MarioWiiU). Some areas in the map have no islands at all
The bad
The game isnt complete. In fact the developer is selling the game for a smaller price (i think $6?) until the next update
By "isnt complete" i mean really, isnt complete. You have a huge map but you can only do to a few squares of it. Some areas of the map are simply inacessible. You get to the border and the prompt to "Travel South/north/west/east" dosent appear, and you end up just bonking your head to an invisible wall
Several bugs plague this unfinished version of the game. For exemple: if you die from drowning, the next time you load the game your character respawn drowning even on land. You have to jump into the water and come out again for it to fix.
Worst bug: enemy characters can shoot arrows through walls. So you hide behind a wall and it simply dosent matter, they hit you anyway and you die (fast)
The game has serious frame rate issues in some points
The game has a beautiful water reflection effect... that only work watching from certain angles
The game has some trouble showing the whole area when watching from above (is that called "clipping"?)
Tools break too fast
Food and thist drops too fast
Life drops too much from almost any fall (my opinion)
The loading is looong, both when loading a game or loading a new area
The update
Developer Cypronia promises the first update for august
- Local multiplayer (one player tv, second player gamepad)
- Pro controller suport
- Pets (?)
- Tools will last longer
- Thirst will drop slower
- Some fix to gravity (i didnt think it needed fix)
- Option to turn off water reflection so you cant get a better FPS
- Loading will be 30% faster
- Invert Y-axis button added (i saw a lot of people asking for this)
- Water flood after loading fixed
- Animal drop items more frequently
From what i read, the game will be more expensive after the update
Also, early adopters will get a free Cypronia game in the future, to celebrate the good sales
Also i think i should mention...
The game has 2 modes: Creative mode and Survival mode
Ive only played the Survival mode.
Everything i said above is survival mode.
But creative mode seems to be pretty popular on miiverse
I forgot what else i had to say about this game, so here some pictures from my miiverse
This is the raft. Its incredibly hard to craft, since you need an item dropped by sharks... and i´ve killed 100 sharks and got TWO of those
Also, the raft is useless. Sharks tear it down in a second
Here is the safe way to travel i created
I just get a billion sand/leaves/dirt blocks and create a huge bridge in the water
But to build this bridge i also have to keep dodging the sharks... which is hard
"N" so i can easily see its a North gateway
And this is one of the huge bridges i created.
This one is on an area without islands. There´s only water in this sector.
And also my bridge leads to North... and there´s nothing on north. The sector north of this one does not exist because the game is incomplete
In fact you can also see the map, and in it i already visited almost all active sectors, which means most of the game map isnt ready yet
