To save you from having to browse all of his tweets yourself, I decided to list
Here comes a summary of the most commonly asked questions, as well as their answers:
HOW CAN I PLAY THIS GAME?
"The game is still in development. I hope to release it in Q1 2012. I still need to improve a few things before I release it."
Will there be an alpha/beta?
"I think the alpha will be ready soon, but I still need to improve a few things."
Is the game going to be compatible with OSX?
"I'm currently focusing on the Windows version but I plan to add Mac support in the future."
What will the minimum system requirements be?
"A DirectX 9 compatible GPU and, I would say, 2 GB RAM. Still need to test it. I still need to test and optimize everything, but it runs on my laptop (a Samsung Chronos with i5 2.4 GHz, 6 GB RAM, Radeon 6750M)."
How much is the game going to cost?
"I don't know the price yet, and you can't pre-purchase it yet. Probably a low indie-price (It will not be free-to-play)."
What will the game's new name be?
"I already have a new name, but I won't reveal it yet. It's a name without voxels or cubes."
Are the worlds randomly generated?
"The worlds are randomly generated. But you can generate the same world as others if you use the same seed variable. The world generates when you walk."
Is the game multiplayer? Is it an MMORPG?
"The game is multiplayer. It is not an MMORPG. You'll have to host your own server."
Will there be pets and mounts?
"Yes! There are already horses and dogs. The pets can fight and fetch items. Maybe more abilities in the future."
What classes will there be?
"In the first version there will be warrior (melee weapons and bows) and wizard (spells). Maybe a thief-like class in the future."
What playable races will there be?
"Elves, humans, orcs, dwarves and undead. Races will have different base attributes (health, strength, agility, attack speed, intelligence, resistances)."
Will the game be ported to consoles (360, PS3 etc.)?
"Console versions would be cool in the future, but currently I'm focusing on the PC version."
What happens when you die in-game?
"Currently you just spawn at the last shrine that you activated and lose nothing."
Is there a max level?
"The leveling is endless, too. So long-time players can show off with their super high-level characters. And enemy level increases with distance from start position. So there are always new dangerous areas to explore."
Will there be support for mods?
"Currently modding support is not planned."
Will you be able to keep items and stats between servers?
"Yes, you keep everything."
For those of you who want more in-depth information, here's a compilation of Wollay's most recent tweets, sorted top-down in chronological order (oldest first - newest last). Just a warning though: the list is HUGE.

Spoiler
February 19, 2012
@wol_lay In your videos it looks like it would be a hassle to level up, will this change by the end version?
@CodeMastaire You get more XP from quests or by killing higher level enemies.
February 20, 2012
I just added gamepad support to Cube World! http://pic.twitter.com/QC6F5DZD
@wol_lay It looks great!
@Kappische
@wol_lay Did you use Xinput or something else?
@Spectermk Yes, Xinput.
@wol_lay quick 1 whilst you're lurking on here. You showed us character styles, you said we pick parts. Is it set colours or RGB faders?
@InTheLittleWood RGB Faders!
@wol_lay great! You planning on a console release sometime in the future? Cube World would make a great xbox game.
@xlson I also think an xbox version would be great and I hope I can make one sometime in the future.
@wol_lay Doesn´t it only support xbox pads?
@spectermk Better than nothing. It's a good start to tweak the controls
@wol_lay Hey man, Sent you a email some time back, probably lost in a sea of them lol. How is progress? The videos look awesome!
@DaveChaos Sorry, it got lost indeed. But I found it and replied now.
@wol_lay hi, where to get this game. it looks interesting.
@linhongjun It's not out yet, but you can check for updates on my blog: http://wollay.blogspot.com
February 23, 2012
@wol_lay will it be funnier to stay on the same world during all time or to generate a new one after many explorations ?
@IndiusFr I think both will be fun.
@wol_lay how much is the view distance in your game, it seems huge!!
@winsrp In my screenshots/videos it's 512 cubes.
@wol_lay It seems like upgraded items drop very commonly in all of your videos, will you ever reduce how many upgraded items will drop?
@AvoSix Yeah, the current droprate is just for testing.
@wol_lay Will mages have an book or wepon to cast spells like in terraria or will they have an skill like in wow
@Goldenadde It will be skill-based.
@wol_lay you havent tweeted for a while now, are you still alive?
@Zippface Yes.
@Zippface @wol_lay haha ;) Wollay, will there be multiplayer for the Xbox ?
@Logichemical @Zippface I don't know yet.
@wol_lay How much will Cube World cost ?
@Mistic333 I don't know yet.
@wol_lay I put in the wrong email when I made my account. My account name is Commentator and it should be Commentatortalk@gmail.com Thanks.
@CommentatorMan What account? Picroma? Creating a new one with the correct mail should work.
@wol_lay http://cubeworld-france.com one of the first french Fan-Website of Cube World !
@CWFrance Looks good.
@wol_lay well, will it only be available for the Xbox? Why not the ps3?
@Logichemical I don't know yet, I just think it would be cool in the future. Currently I'm just focusing on the PC version.
@wol_lay Have you got a file whit all the answer for the question like "How cost the game" and you copy/paste it ?
@Guguu42 No, I type all my answers manually.
@wol_lay on YouTube, a host of video links to download the beta version of the game. it is already possible to download or is it a hoax?
@nelar3000 Hoax.
@wol_lay Will you be able to customize your characters skin colours and clothes and maybe have pets?
@Jambreej The answer to all your questions is yes.
@wol_lay What can you tell us about Rotora the Destroyer?
@Epic04 He's a randomly generated dungeon boss (also his name)
@wol_lay hey...i saw u in Suggest friend,and i saw your images...are u creating a Game called CubeWorld?if i understand kk
@sampLT Yes, I'm making that game.
@wol_lay How is the land generated, and will the player be able to enter a seed for generation?
@SnipingDeath I can't go into the details about the generation here, but yes, you can enter a seed for generation.
@wol_lay Hey I asked you a couple questions awhile back but you never answered them. Will mages have healing spells to heal their partners?
@Shipoopi608 Yeah I will test healing spells for wizards.
@wol_lay the game looks awesome!!!! greetings from brazil \o
@HugoPorfirio Thanks!
@wol_lay Will Magic power replace spirit for mages or will they have basic attacks and special attacks too?
@RyanF33 They'll have spirit and special attacks too, but I still need to work out the magic system.
@wol_lay Are basic attacks always going to be so weak or are you going to tweak it later?(weak and tweak rhyme, lol)
@RyanF33 I already doubled the damage of normals attacks since the last video. I'm tweaking everything all the time.
@wol_lay Are you planning on adding potions or pills that give temporary boosts in attack or spirit or other things?
@RyanF33 Yeah, I also want to add alchemy which allows you to create such potions.
@wol_lay Will you learn new moves as you level up.
@JayRich19 Yes, I'll probably add new moves which you can learn when you level up..
@wol_lay I think mages with healing and powerful spells would be pretty OP, will you be creating a diff. Class that can heal with less DPS?
@FritzWurster Wizards won't have powerful healing and powerful damage at the same time but need to specialize.
@wol_lay If I were to send you an email, what percent chance is there that you'd respond? Just curious if I should ask a few questions
@LeetCraft Currently the chance is rather low because I get so many mails and have so few time.
@wol_lay Make more technical blog posts. Like "How World Gen Works" Or "How i make my models and the code behind it" Really interesting
@mattmanIII I'd love to if I had more time.
@wol_lay No I made a Cube World Forums account.
@CommentatorMan You have to ask the admins, the forums are not by me.
February 24, 2012
@wol_lay Hi, Wolly. It's CubeWorld person) pic.twitter.com/k8gdfwhT
@kulchedl Cool!
February 25, 2012
@wol_lay What's up with the lack of news? Somehing big coming up? Not enough inspiration? A lot of tweaking?
@SuperHawksman Improving things and implementing new stuff.
@wol_lay Have you considered adding magic to the game?
@Flubadoo Yes, I'm working on a wizard class.
@wol_lay What kinda new stuff you working on implementing ^_^
@Dahrndt I improved controls, camera, sounds, dungeons, added coins and worked on the wizard class.
I asked @242_girl to marry me, and she said yes http://yfrog.com/mo61kzj
@jeb_ @242_girl Congratulations!
February 28, 2012
@wol_lay Are you dead man?
@PCFreakLOL Undead.
@wol_lay So are you zombie?
@Ryudo7z No, a Lich.
@wol_lay What is everything you have done in the past few days?
@Hobbit9797 E.G. Two-handed weapons and coins inserted, improved camera, combat and dungeons.)
@wol_lay Are you planning on adding skills you can unlock as you level up? And an abilty to bind the skills you unlock to a key?
@Matozu100 Yes, I'm planning to add skills that you can bind to keys 1, 2, 3, 4 etc.
@wol_lay Woah, you must be working on something big! =D Can't wait for more news. ^ ^
@Gmonkworld Nothing that big, mainly tweaking things... Ok, I added really big two-handed greatswords and maces.
@wol_lay What will the spirits actually do? Will they have elements i.e. frost, fire, electric? (My artwork ) pic.twitter.com/r8w8XSz8
@elliobot They have different effects, like frost = slow enemies, fire = damage, wind = attack speed
@wol_lay Wow, you really are the best programmer (and fastest) I've ever seen! =D Is the Q1 2012 thing still going to plan?
@Gmonkworld Oh thanks. Currently I'm working on the dungeons and they're really tricky. I can say more about it when they're done.
New Screenshots: http://goo.gl/fb/izkjh
@wol_lay you are using Unity?
@Nakiks No, just Direct3D.
@wol_lay "" greatswords "... Have you by any chance played Monster Hunter? ^ ^(Translated From French)
@TheHunterFR Monster Hunter Tri <3
@wol_lay Can you explain the over the shoulders in this screenie? http://t.co/758lVblm
@Crysyn In the screenshot I have opened a "ring menu" with cookies, and mushrooms. You can turn the menu to select different items.
@wol_lay in both Picroma and your Sprite Editor you seem to be using a cool GUI system. Did you make it? Is it available for free using?
@keebus That's my scalable GUI engine, which is based on Picroma Plasma. It's not available. I'm also using it for the Cube World GUI.
@wol_lay Is there a website for CubeWorld?
@Navyvinny Currently just my blog.
@wol_lay What is Cube World coded in?
@Alexleighton1 C++
@wol_lay How big are the worlds? Virtually unlimited like in Minecraft? (Yes, strictly speaking, MC-worlds are not infinite)
@NiklasUpm At the moment, you can go approximately 8 million cubes from your starting point. I can increase this value if necessary.
@wol_lay How long does it take to run to the current 8 million cube border? And how large is the save file then?
@NiklasUpm Time: No idea depends on mountains, water and so on. Save-file: If you change anything in the world, zero.
February 29, 2012
@wol_lay How can the save file be 0? The terrain is random and must be stored, is that not right? (<= Confused ^ ^)
@VanilleOfDead It will be generated in the background, while you walk around. It will save only the changes.
@wol_lay What is this : http://t.co/pSkzv68l
@Tartine08 A frontier between kingdoms.
@wol_lay I don't get it completely! Does this mean if I am too far away from a place, it no longer exists?
@VanilleOfDead It exists only as an algorithm, so to speak, and is generated whenever you're nearby.
@wol_lay @NiklasUpm But wouldn't there still be a file to save how the world was generated?
@DasIchHalt1 @NiklasUpm Yes, zero was exaggerated, at least the seed variable must be saved.

March 7, 2012
Hey @wol_lay , will streaming of CubeWorld be permitted? Would love to show it off upon release.
@andrew_TYRO Yes of course.
@wol_lay http://t.co/PM0gfgDi , Wolfram , look at this. Where did he get it from? Is this real?
@009Stickalex This is just a fake, probably a virus or something like that.
@ wol_lay BUT he had a video, and he himself played! He has definitely played for free! This was not a video of you!
@009stickAlex I saw his video on YouTube. It's one of mine.
March 11, 2012
There are now also randomly generated monsters in Cube World http://pic.twitter.com/Ktk9kmOq
Also, Vampires! http://pic.twitter.com/rcgkUhTM
@wol_lay can we be vampires too?
@ShadVini Nope, they will be rare enemies.

March 14, 2012
@wol_lay What attacks/actions use stamina?
@Flashlights4u Somersault slam uses 50% of your stamina. Roll uses 25%.
@wol_lay Once that you destroy the grass, does it grow again?
@songokuhd Yes.
@wol_lay The seconds one died faster i think...Is it just you? are the swords better? Or is it a balancing issue? Or am i crazy?
@Kiar72 Yes, the swords in the second fight are better (bone swords) and I also played better.
March 15, 2012
@wol_lay theres some "beta" downloads going around on youtube. im guessing there fake but what can you tell me?
@JRHaggertyy Yes, they're fake.
@wol_lay all these people calim to have a cube world download, is there an actual real release/leak anywere?
@Zombiebrine Nope.
March 21, 2012
I'm currently working on clouds and mountains. http://pic.twitter.com/RERcuKZb
@wol_lay I'd like to get in touch to talk about Mozilla and games. Is your "picroma" email the best method to contact you?
@robhawkes Yes, that's the best method.
@wol_lay Looks awesome! But i have a question. Are we gonna be able to use texture packs? Also, can we make/install mods?
@TheAngryPandaTV Currently there is no modding support. And there are no textures.
@wol_lay can you go to clouds
@Kn1ghtHarvey No.
@wol_lay that actually looks beautiful! Will the mountains be something the player can climb? Or just pretty scenery?
@NoahC_ You can climb them.
@wol_lay They look awesome! Will the mountains translate into actual locations, or are they just background that change with the biomes?
@FilipeJMonteiro They're really there and you can climb them.
@wol_lay Can you go to the mountains???
@Kn1ghtHarvey Yes!
March 27, 2012
New Cube World Screenshots: Mountains http://goo.gl/fb/qVLzB
@wol_lay The game is looking awesome. Do you have any eta yet or are we to suffer from anticipation? =D
@Ryoxxys Sorry you still have to suffer. ;) There's still much to fix and add before I can release a playable version.
@wol_lay Excellent And I would like to say you : "Can you explain me how we can generate a terrain with directx ?" Thank you in advance
@Styvak30 It's a little complicated to explain here. I use mostly perlin noise for heights and colors.
April 2, 2012
@wol_lay ^_^ pic.twitter.com/7IMUL4KL
@White_Shadow96 Nice!
@wol_lay Any news,videos,or updates today?
@mattmanIII Sorry, currently no news.
@wol_lay Do you have a date for when Cube World would be released?
@kaffn Nope, there's still much missing for a playable version.
@wol_lay Is the autogenerated terrain real unlimited or is there a limit? And do you gonna add mod support?
@jordanske There's a limit but it's rather large. Mod support isn't planned.
@wol_lay Will the clouds be solid/walkable? Will they move around?
@Sepehrnoor They'll probably move around but won't be walkable.
@wol_lay Will there be dual wielders? Maybe someone who can dual wield more than all others and do extra damage when dual wielding?
@Matozu100 Maybe I'll add something like this via talents.
@wol_lay Will it have gamepad support?
@ZacheryW There's already XBox controller support and I'll try to support other gamepads too.
April 4, 2012
@wol_lay Do you mind doing an RT for http://fullrestore.co.uk We are raising money for the British Red Cross by playing Pokemon for 96 hours =D
[Re-tweeted by wol_lay]
@wol_lay I was trying to make Orc.. Do you like it? pic.twitter.com/zICiP2n6
@Piarto_ Wow, great work!
@wol_lay Will there be Guild settings in CW?
@UlvBorge Maybe in the future, when multiplayer is more advanced.
@wol_lay Is there any chance you could give me the system requirements for cube world?
@Thenakidninja You need a DirectX 9 compatible graphics card and Windows XP/Vista/7 and 1-2 GB RAM.
@wol_lay are there going to be mounts? Like animals you can ride to get around quicker? Also, skill trees? That would be cool Can't wait!
@DaxDPhillips Yes, mounts are already working and skill trees are planned.
@wol_lay Judging Look like alot of endless rendering. I'm guessing its going to be rough to run for a weaker computer right?
@Tim_Whicker You can adjust the render distance so it should also run on weaker computers.
@wol_lay thank you for the RT, it means a lot =D
@FallenSieg No problem, looks like a cool project.
April 11, 2012
@wol_lay Quick question and i know you have been asked this at least 5 times but is the world randomly generated for each new world/server
@Mynameisnotryan Yes, it's randomly generated and you can enter a seed at the beginning.
@wol_lay the game has option to change to 1st person? And will be avaiable on steam? Keep doing the great job mate!
@pedrodooom12 1st person view is possible but gameplay is designed for third person.
@wol_lay Are you going to add unit conversions like Celsius to Fahrenheit?
@Blocklad Yes.
@wol_lay This game looks great, keep up the work! I have a question though. Do you need to make a server for multiplayer? Or is it local?
@Noobcake001 Yes, you have to make a server.
@wol_lay Any news your going to give us about the game or what you are working on?
@lesserkill3 I'm working on the sound engine and the new homepage. So currently not much to show.

May 21, 2012
I'm working on Cube World's crafting GUI. On the screenshot you see the formula collection and the crafting window. http://pic.twitter.com/4ZR9nhiY
@pix_xie is now also voxel artist on Cube World.
@wol_lay Looking good. Make sure it's playable without a wiki, ie lots of in-game info.
@comham Yeah, I'm planning an in-game lexicon for items etc.
@wol_lay will they're be potions that inflict damage onto monsters?
@brown__biscuit Maybe, sounds like a nice idea.
@wol_lay Is wood officially a weapon type or is it just for those clubs?
@RyanF33 Currrently just clubs are made of wood.
@wol_lay Will there be iron bows or bone bows, seems a little odd that everything else would be while bows are wood.
@RyanF33 Yeah there will be bows of all kind of materials.
@wol_lay is it out or closed beta
@LordZeus111 Not yet.

Today we did some mage testing. http://pic.twitter.com/80ycN5tE
[Re-tweeted by wol_lay]
@wol_lay in the last two pictures of "Multiplayer Impressions" what type of armor are you wearing?
@TimHavok Saurian armor.
@wol_lay Hello, I wanted to make a Video About Cube World in My Channel ... I have authorization to do?
@tks_theus Yes.
@wol_lay does it destroy blocks with the laser?
@patrikspengler No, but it's a cool idea. I'll probably add it.
@wol_lay Awesome ! But I would like to know : what is this purple bar in the crafting GUI ?
@ZeyrithHD It's the progress bar which appears when you press the crafting button
@wol_lay Will be any epic bosses in the game?
@White_Shadow96 There are rare bosses which are stronger than normal bosses. At the end of each dungeon there is a rare boss.
@wol_lay Haha his shadow's a little small, don't you think?
@Arkorus Hehe, yeah that's something I still need to fix.
@wol_lay thats pretty sick. would this be an introduction to a possible lazer weapon?
@mcape6 No, but mages can shoot a laser-like beam.
@wol_lay I Think the Golem would be better with just one eye .. on this pic it looks like it has 2 and shoots the laser from in between 2
@xDamienOs It has one eye, it just looks like that on the screenshot.
@wol_lay is he generated with random parts like the giant reptiles?
@ThePacBruno Yes!
@wol_lay Once Alpha Testers are even remotely needed, Count me in! I am looking forward so much for this game. ^ _ ^
@Endzeitkind You are on the list!
@wol_lay Am I number 7257352886 on your list? I was also scared because you hadn't given us an update for so long!
@Endzeitkind Don't worry, everything is running perfectly!
@wol_lay Nice to hear, but I guess an ETA is unfortunately not yet in sight, or have you got one.? I always have new ideas
@Endzeitkind It can't be estimated yet, but it is gradually taking shape
@wol_lay In your videos it looks like it would be a hassle to level up, will this change by the end version?
@CodeMastaire You get more XP from quests or by killing higher level enemies.

@jeb_ @242_girl Congratulations!
February 28, 2012
@wol_lay Are you dead man?
@PCFreakLOL Undead.
@wol_lay So are you zombie?
@Ryudo7z No, a Lich.
@wol_lay What is everything you have done in the past few days?
@Hobbit9797 E.G. Two-handed weapons and coins inserted, improved camera, combat and dungeons.)
@wol_lay Are you planning on adding skills you can unlock as you level up? And an abilty to bind the skills you unlock to a key?
@Matozu100 Yes, I'm planning to add skills that you can bind to keys 1, 2, 3, 4 etc.
@wol_lay Woah, you must be working on something big! =D Can't wait for more news. ^ ^
@Gmonkworld Nothing that big, mainly tweaking things... Ok, I added really big two-handed greatswords and maces.
@wol_lay What will the spirits actually do? Will they have elements i.e. frost, fire, electric? (My artwork ) pic.twitter.com/r8w8XSz8
@elliobot They have different effects, like frost = slow enemies, fire = damage, wind = attack speed
@wol_lay Wow, you really are the best programmer (and fastest) I've ever seen! =D Is the Q1 2012 thing still going to plan?
@Gmonkworld Oh thanks. Currently I'm working on the dungeons and they're really tricky. I can say more about it when they're done.
New Screenshots: http://goo.gl/fb/izkjh
@wol_lay you are using Unity?
@Nakiks No, just Direct3D.
@wol_lay "" greatswords "... Have you by any chance played Monster Hunter? ^ ^(Translated From French)
@TheHunterFR Monster Hunter Tri <3
@wol_lay Can you explain the over the shoulders in this screenie? http://t.co/758lVblm
@Crysyn In the screenshot I have opened a "ring menu" with cookies, and mushrooms. You can turn the menu to select different items.
@wol_lay in both Picroma and your Sprite Editor you seem to be using a cool GUI system. Did you make it? Is it available for free using?
@keebus That's my scalable GUI engine, which is based on Picroma Plasma. It's not available. I'm also using it for the Cube World GUI.
@wol_lay Is there a website for CubeWorld?
@Navyvinny Currently just my blog.
@wol_lay What is Cube World coded in?
@Alexleighton1 C++
@wol_lay How big are the worlds? Virtually unlimited like in Minecraft? (Yes, strictly speaking, MC-worlds are not infinite)
@NiklasUpm At the moment, you can go approximately 8 million cubes from your starting point. I can increase this value if necessary.
@wol_lay How long does it take to run to the current 8 million cube border? And how large is the save file then?
@NiklasUpm Time: No idea depends on mountains, water and so on. Save-file: If you change anything in the world, zero.
February 29, 2012
@wol_lay How can the save file be 0? The terrain is random and must be stored, is that not right? (<= Confused ^ ^)
@VanilleOfDead It will be generated in the background, while you walk around. It will save only the changes.
@wol_lay What is this : http://t.co/pSkzv68l
@Tartine08 A frontier between kingdoms.
@wol_lay I don't get it completely! Does this mean if I am too far away from a place, it no longer exists?
@VanilleOfDead It exists only as an algorithm, so to speak, and is generated whenever you're nearby.
@wol_lay @NiklasUpm But wouldn't there still be a file to save how the world was generated?
@DasIchHalt1 @NiklasUpm Yes, zero was exaggerated, at least the seed variable must be saved.

Hey @wol_lay , will streaming of CubeWorld be permitted? Would love to show it off upon release.
@andrew_TYRO Yes of course.
@wol_lay http://t.co/PM0gfgDi , Wolfram , look at this. Where did he get it from? Is this real?
@009Stickalex This is just a fake, probably a virus or something like that.
@ wol_lay BUT he had a video, and he himself played! He has definitely played for free! This was not a video of you!
@009stickAlex I saw his video on YouTube. It's one of mine.
March 11, 2012
There are now also randomly generated monsters in Cube World http://pic.twitter.com/Ktk9kmOq
Also, Vampires! http://pic.twitter.com/rcgkUhTM
@wol_lay can we be vampires too?
@ShadVini Nope, they will be rare enemies.

@wol_lay What attacks/actions use stamina?
@Flashlights4u Somersault slam uses 50% of your stamina. Roll uses 25%.
@wol_lay Once that you destroy the grass, does it grow again?
@songokuhd Yes.
@wol_lay The seconds one died faster i think...Is it just you? are the swords better? Or is it a balancing issue? Or am i crazy?
@Kiar72 Yes, the swords in the second fight are better (bone swords) and I also played better.
March 15, 2012
@wol_lay theres some "beta" downloads going around on youtube. im guessing there fake but what can you tell me?
@JRHaggertyy Yes, they're fake.
@wol_lay all these people calim to have a cube world download, is there an actual real release/leak anywere?
@Zombiebrine Nope.
March 21, 2012
I'm currently working on clouds and mountains. http://pic.twitter.com/RERcuKZb
@wol_lay I'd like to get in touch to talk about Mozilla and games. Is your "picroma" email the best method to contact you?
@robhawkes Yes, that's the best method.
@wol_lay Looks awesome! But i have a question. Are we gonna be able to use texture packs? Also, can we make/install mods?
@TheAngryPandaTV Currently there is no modding support. And there are no textures.
@wol_lay can you go to clouds
@Kn1ghtHarvey No.
@wol_lay that actually looks beautiful! Will the mountains be something the player can climb? Or just pretty scenery?
@NoahC_ You can climb them.
@wol_lay They look awesome! Will the mountains translate into actual locations, or are they just background that change with the biomes?
@FilipeJMonteiro They're really there and you can climb them.
@wol_lay Can you go to the mountains???
@Kn1ghtHarvey Yes!

New Cube World Screenshots: Mountains http://goo.gl/fb/qVLzB
@wol_lay The game is looking awesome. Do you have any eta yet or are we to suffer from anticipation? =D
@Ryoxxys Sorry you still have to suffer. ;) There's still much to fix and add before I can release a playable version.
@wol_lay Excellent And I would like to say you : "Can you explain me how we can generate a terrain with directx ?" Thank you in advance
@Styvak30 It's a little complicated to explain here. I use mostly perlin noise for heights and colors.
April 2, 2012
@wol_lay ^_^ pic.twitter.com/7IMUL4KL
@White_Shadow96 Nice!
@wol_lay Any news,videos,or updates today?
@mattmanIII Sorry, currently no news.
@wol_lay Do you have a date for when Cube World would be released?
@kaffn Nope, there's still much missing for a playable version.
@wol_lay Is the autogenerated terrain real unlimited or is there a limit? And do you gonna add mod support?
@jordanske There's a limit but it's rather large. Mod support isn't planned.
@wol_lay Will the clouds be solid/walkable? Will they move around?
@Sepehrnoor They'll probably move around but won't be walkable.
@wol_lay Will there be dual wielders? Maybe someone who can dual wield more than all others and do extra damage when dual wielding?
@Matozu100 Maybe I'll add something like this via talents.
@wol_lay Will it have gamepad support?
@ZacheryW There's already XBox controller support and I'll try to support other gamepads too.
April 4, 2012
@wol_lay Do you mind doing an RT for http://fullrestore.co.uk We are raising money for the British Red Cross by playing Pokemon for 96 hours =D
[Re-tweeted by wol_lay]
@wol_lay I was trying to make Orc.. Do you like it? pic.twitter.com/zICiP2n6
@Piarto_ Wow, great work!
@wol_lay Will there be Guild settings in CW?
@UlvBorge Maybe in the future, when multiplayer is more advanced.
@wol_lay Is there any chance you could give me the system requirements for cube world?
@Thenakidninja You need a DirectX 9 compatible graphics card and Windows XP/Vista/7 and 1-2 GB RAM.
@wol_lay are there going to be mounts? Like animals you can ride to get around quicker? Also, skill trees? That would be cool Can't wait!
@DaxDPhillips Yes, mounts are already working and skill trees are planned.
@wol_lay Judging Look like alot of endless rendering. I'm guessing its going to be rough to run for a weaker computer right?
@Tim_Whicker You can adjust the render distance so it should also run on weaker computers.
@wol_lay thank you for the RT, it means a lot =D
@FallenSieg No problem, looks like a cool project.
April 11, 2012
@wol_lay Quick question and i know you have been asked this at least 5 times but is the world randomly generated for each new world/server
@Mynameisnotryan Yes, it's randomly generated and you can enter a seed at the beginning.
@wol_lay the game has option to change to 1st person? And will be avaiable on steam? Keep doing the great job mate!
@pedrodooom12 1st person view is possible but gameplay is designed for third person.
@wol_lay Are you going to add unit conversions like Celsius to Fahrenheit?
@Blocklad Yes.
@wol_lay This game looks great, keep up the work! I have a question though. Do you need to make a server for multiplayer? Or is it local?
@Noobcake001 Yes, you have to make a server.
@wol_lay Any news your going to give us about the game or what you are working on?
@lesserkill3 I'm working on the sound engine and the new homepage. So currently not much to show.

May 21, 2012
I'm working on Cube World's crafting GUI. On the screenshot you see the formula collection and the crafting window. http://pic.twitter.com/4ZR9nhiY
@pix_xie is now also voxel artist on Cube World.
@wol_lay Looking good. Make sure it's playable without a wiki, ie lots of in-game info.
@comham Yeah, I'm planning an in-game lexicon for items etc.
@wol_lay will they're be potions that inflict damage onto monsters?
@brown__biscuit Maybe, sounds like a nice idea.
@wol_lay Is wood officially a weapon type or is it just for those clubs?
@RyanF33 Currrently just clubs are made of wood.
@wol_lay Will there be iron bows or bone bows, seems a little odd that everything else would be while bows are wood.
@RyanF33 Yeah there will be bows of all kind of materials.
@wol_lay is it out or closed beta
@LordZeus111 Not yet.

[Re-tweeted by wol_lay]
@wol_lay in the last two pictures of "Multiplayer Impressions" what type of armor are you wearing?
@TimHavok Saurian armor.
@wol_lay Hello, I wanted to make a Video About Cube World in My Channel ... I have authorization to do?
@tks_theus Yes.
@wol_lay does it destroy blocks with the laser?
@patrikspengler No, but it's a cool idea. I'll probably add it.
@wol_lay Awesome ! But I would like to know : what is this purple bar in the crafting GUI ?
@ZeyrithHD It's the progress bar which appears when you press the crafting button
@wol_lay Will be any epic bosses in the game?
@White_Shadow96 There are rare bosses which are stronger than normal bosses. At the end of each dungeon there is a rare boss.
@wol_lay Haha his shadow's a little small, don't you think?
@Arkorus Hehe, yeah that's something I still need to fix.
@wol_lay thats pretty sick. would this be an introduction to a possible lazer weapon?
@mcape6 No, but mages can shoot a laser-like beam.
@wol_lay I Think the Golem would be better with just one eye .. on this pic it looks like it has 2 and shoots the laser from in between 2
@xDamienOs It has one eye, it just looks like that on the screenshot.
@wol_lay is he generated with random parts like the giant reptiles?
@ThePacBruno Yes!
@wol_lay Once Alpha Testers are even remotely needed, Count me in! I am looking forward so much for this game. ^ _ ^
@Endzeitkind You are on the list!
@wol_lay Am I number 7257352886 on your list? I was also scared because you hadn't given us an update for so long!
@Endzeitkind Don't worry, everything is running perfectly!
@wol_lay Nice to hear, but I guess an ETA is unfortunately not yet in sight, or have you got one.? I always have new ideas
@Endzeitkind It can't be estimated yet, but it is gradually taking shape
