Cube World is an amazing new game being built by Wollay featuring a new type of terrain: Voxels. It's based around exploration with RPG elements. It borrows from Minecraft; an 'Indie' game created by Mojang, and from The Legend of Zelda by Nintendo.
It looks like it is going to appeal to a lot of our players, so we will definitely be hosting a Cube World server for everyone to play in. The game is scheduled to be released in Q1 2012.
