Wollay has recently Tweated some new screenshots for us to view, which gives us a look into the Crafting GUI. This is obviously still in development and subject to change, but it looks very easy to use and could also be used to craft complex objects or higher level items.

It looks like Wollay has also increased the development team with @pix_xie, which looks to also be his lovely wife. We look forward to seeing what the team puts together soon and if any open or closed beta may come into light soon.

According to the tweet, she's a new voxel artist.

I was cracking my neck upon loading the forums, and when I saw this update, I nearly broke it.

Sadly, it's probably true when they say there's still a lot to do. It's a bit of a shame, with all of the hype that was generated for a Q1 (Now Q2) release, but the game does keep getting better and better.

I voted 'Other'. I think, for now at least, Wollay is fine on his own. I don't think he really needs to hire a team, but maybe if he got a few people he knows to test and provide feedback, to help him out now and then, and to talk with the community, that'd be great. A game like Cube World can't really have a 'testing server' of any sort, and if he releases an update that is really game-changing, that people don't like, we're going to be pretty annoyed. If those people could code as well, that'd be good, they would be able to help out Wollay with bug fixes and the likes. And he really needs at least one person to talk to the community constantly, for times like now, about upcoming updates, and to look into what the community think needs changing.

I was the only person who suggesting having this kind of team.

I completely understand that there is still more to be done on the game, but I feel like he's trying to make it the full game, rather than alpha.
Like an inn, was it really neccessary to create it during this time of the development process? I really doubt the inn plays an important role.
I think he should focus more on the core neccessities on the game, such as the chat system or login process or whatever. The other additional, nice things like crafting (assuming it's not a must-have-before-any-release) can wait after.
But hey, that's just my two cents.

The crafting seems fun and good for Wollay that his wife is working with him.

I think you'll find he is working towards the full game. He wants it to be as good as a finished product when he releases it, and he can add onto it from there. He doesn't want to have Alpha and Beta testing stages if he can help it, because that means lots of bugs will be in the game, and it won't seem finished. I think.

[UltimateBudgie]

Regular Cube-World news??

This is unheard of in the Cubiverse! Wollay should definitely keep the awesome work up

But what about the tech-demo he said he probably would release? We haven't heard anything about it lately.

In my opinion, the gradient *shiny* look is ugly, it would be better off being semi transparent.

What, you mean the shading? I like it.
Oh, right. Whoops. I agree, actually, I don't really feel like it fits the game.

The light to darker tone, with silver making it look shiny.

Yeah, for some reason I only just realized you meant the crafting GUI's gradient. I have no idea why I thought otherwise...

[virori12]

I'm addicted and the game was not released yet...I hope that shed some wollay demo version to test!

[Noob]

Woah, it looks great!! Keep up the great work =)

[Ekusukariba]

Awesome! I'll still be waiting for this game, its too good the ignore

[micro]

Looks like a very simple design for easy handling. I think it needs some more work don't know how but it looks plane and unorganized. I really like though and can't wait for more screenshots!

[Red]

Probably will me the best game ever made!

[Solixus]

will there be items that come and go? ever so often.
