Veloren is a pretty acceptable alternative, altho it's missing "something" the Cube World alpha had

I'm still mad.

Cube world omega will soon trust the plan

>>713173939 (OP)
this one here, i do partially blame Riot for sniping them for that fighting game, but the devs could not code for shit, making every run a ticking time bomb until Lua errors pile up and the memory implodes, among a myriad other problems.

trust me bros, the last half-decade development with 0 communication or transparency resulted in an awful game, but THIS half-decade development with 0 communication or transparency WILL BE GOOD

>>713173939 (OP)
If you think the concept is so great and the problem is that the dev is just incompetent, why hasn't anyone made a game that does it properly n the decade since Cubeworld was abandoned?

Din's Curse. A Diablo 2 clone with a village you need to keep track of sounded good but the village was just something you had to return to and babysit when it got invaded every 10 seconds.

Coding hard, isometric roguelike pixelshit easy. Please understand (and buy my eternal early access abortion).

>>713173939 (OP)
I played it.
The Alpha version was shit too. Player attacks are super slow and cumbersome. Enemy attacks were not completely avoidable so combat mostly ended up as a slogfest where you trade blows until one of you perishes which is the epitome of anti-fun.
It's just not a fun game. Action games should be "hit the enemy and avoid getting hit yourself". Trading blows belongs in turn based games but with added strategy and depth.

>dev whines and cries that people only care about the fetish content and drops development
my brother in christ, you're making a fetish game, no fucking shit people are going to primarily be interested in the fetish content

>>713178708
>Want to make a game that has fun, great gameplay in the first place
>Also add your fetish as a nice bonus addition.
>People only care about the fettish and not the gameplay, character designs, writing or music.
I can feel his pain. People like this are why I would never add my fetish to a game I make.

this guy is such a fucking animal, had a long lasting success and a good video game laid out before him but he chose to fuck it up and leave, goddamn negro, hope he was unironically mentally ill.

Satisfactory. It took literal years for the devs to add any amount of QoL to the game and we were told repeatedly that the few changes that made it through were actually argued against internally. Shit like being able to place more than 1 block of foundation at a time, being able to wear more than 1 gadget, jetpack being terrible, no blueprints, very strict object collision. All these things started to go away when they got a different game director or whateve who had a brother that played factory games. It turns out the devs behind goat simulator don't really understand the appeal of factory games scaling up quickly instead of one fucking block out of 10000.

Wasn't it a dev couple and his wife ended up divorcing him?

>>713180796
geg I bet it's because he just ghosted her and stopped talking to her altogether

Go back.

He literally had gold in his hands and fucked it all up. Should have looked for feedback instead of working on this in his corner, most of the game's flaws would have been pointed out straight away

>>713174739
statistically speaking, at some random point one of the complete reworks has to be completely amazing

No no, the Wollay bipolar cycle works like this:
1) Wollay will have a manic episode and produce something incredible
2) Wollay will have a depressive episode and ruin everything he made in step 1
3) Wollay will take medication and have no motivation to do anything for 3+ years (until he stops taking medication)
You would have to somehow get the product after step 1 but before step 2. Which he never releases, because he's in a depressive phase.
Don't ask me how I know any of that.
