Cube World is a promising-looking RPG that has voxels and a focus on exploration. Oh yes. The video above gives a run through of where it's at in development -- keep in mind, this game only started in June of last year and there's plenty yet to be implemented.
The designer responsible for Cube World goes by the handle Wollay. As it so happens, he now works at Mojang. "Our current plan is to plug his brain directly to a keyboard and sell whatever comes out," writes Minecraft mastermind Notch. Don't worry, there's a diagram if you need help comprehending.
Wollay will continue expanding this current game in addition to starting something fresh at Mojang. "I'm used to work on multiple projects so I don't think it will impact Cube World development."
Independents growing up and giving back. These are the kinds of stories that make me want to do this job every day.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied: "bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Man, I hope he's serious about keeping up with developing Cube World. I only heard about this game a few days ago and I've been itching for it ever since. Voxels have never looked so lovely. And look how big that horse is! Don't you want to ride a big goddamn horse!?
Well, at least minecraft fanboys cant really hate on it since mojang approves. but than again, a fanboy is a fanboy...(btw, I do play minecraft and terraria)
Wait usb 2.0? Damn it when will companies upgrade to current tech. I DEMAND THAT THEY USE USB 3.0!
All joking aside this looks freaking badass and I hope to see more soon.
I'm more outraged by the commenters here not knowing about this until now than the fact that Mojang got its grubby mitts on it.
This is ridiculous. Brace for broken promises, just because of money being a more prominent subject. Brace for a half-assed release, just like Minecraft's.
Don't understand the blocking and counter, it looks just like a mash X to attack game... Unless them there japonise people get ahold of it always blocking and countering my fine ass bitches kick kick kick FUCKIN CHEATERS
I have a feeling that the NPC giving out fetch and kill quests will be somehow implemented in Minecraft when they finally give the NPC's some sort of A.I. behavior that isn't based off a pig. This game pulling it off, not to mention looking like a smoother version of Minecraft mixed with 3D Dot Heroes, really makes me think this will inspire Notch to tell Jebs to implement it. That or Jeb will try to do it based off what he wants to do.
I loved Cubivore. The odd poetry/rap at the end of each level was so awesome. Actually, all of the dialog in that game was weird and awesome. I think the localization of that game was the best part.

We need Cubivore 2!
Me like, me like A LOT!
The visuals/graphics/art style reminds me of a mixture of "minecraft" and "3D dot game heroes"
Very sweet! Hope it comes to PS3!
Also, kind of excite.
WHO THE FUCK NEGLECTED TO TELL ME ABOUT THIS AWESOME AMAZING AWESOME GAME??

Mark my words.
Well, anyway, good steal.
Gold George, I have no idea what got into you. Minecraft had a half-assed release? Really?
we're at the atari 2600 stage now. those little voxels are going places, give it 10 years..
Here is hoping that one of his jobs at Mojang is to flush out the MC NPCs and AIs in general ^^
