Hi! Thanks for watching the video, I hope you'll consider subscribing, it really means the world for a small channel :) It was my first try at this type of video, and I've since uploaded quite a few and gotten better at editing/mixing the audio. I didn't expect this one to reach over 100.000 people. So thanks!

I really loved this review! As a developer of Veloren, there's loads of great information in here about what we can do better. I appreciate the time you took to make this, it's very well put together!

The biggest thing im missing from CW is the ability to add blocks to your weapons, that was my absolute favorite thing.

Tbh the challenge of exploration is what i really liked when i started playin 1.5 years ago, and combat gets way more intense with dungeons and caverns

crafting is for sure one the highest thing on my desired progress list! Being in a Alpha state, and slow but steady progress happening by a decently consistent team and contributors. Will be a long time before it starts to look super different, however I can happily say that the desired direction in mind for the game is a good one. :)

Love the fact that it is Open Source, since that let people do their versions and servers. It's great!

I am looking forward to jumping into this at later stages. I really hope it takes on a more mmo feel than cubeworld did, because I think with the current mechanics and the general aesthetic, a WOW style game with big raids and solo farming, and in depth skill and crafting systems could be really really cool

I like Veloren because it no has class limit (you can use any weapon and you can switch it any time), because you don't has region lock (region where you are located not influent to stats of your equipment), and because you has a free cam mode to shoot amazing pics, and perk tree is also cool.

3:50 gotta agree here! Maybe after creating a way to acquire recipes, replicate it all over and add the option to either start a world knowning all recipes or only important ones (and the rest will have to be found through exploration or grinding)

yt recommended me this, good to know this exists gonna download it now

Somehow I think the reason Trove works fine, is that while teleporting is semi-locked, (yes ik it's a lil p2w but this aside), you can still wander off. Rather than locking a region, just make it too difficult for the player at that moment, let them learn that it's difficult and better to go back and work up to the next place. Anyhow, I'll check this, it looks neat.

Nice video m8 and i can agree in 100% with it. And i can agree to the quote "While i haven't played in group i imagined it." :D Nice volume of bgm ratio to the volume of voice.

played this game a while back and it def has potential but still felt lacking in some areas. Going to give it some time and hope it all goes well.

You said everything dude, i played it with my friends and we all got throwed in the world without any clearly objective or how should we evolve playing at first it was fun to kill mobs and grind the simple early game but after 30 minutes everyone got bored because it's too much information, how to craft the items, what to buy with merchants and etc.

if i am not mistaken the no transparency from Cube world came because the developer was kind of a perfectionist and got a lot of people expecting and wanting stuff that he was scared to realease. (i think at one time he redesigned the game from scratch again) and at release he got ddos attacked and death threats. good video about it. Not sure if i remember it correctly so i suggest watching it. WickedWiz - What went wrong? - Cube world.

Thank you for letting us know about this game! I can't wait to play!

great video imma sub now. thanks

The only two main problems i don't like about Veloren is that the merchants in town only allow one person to interact with it at a time, often gets glitched because of that, and main server is located somewhere in europe and the ping is very high from north america. (and don't say play on an unnofficial server because those ones have NO players on it.)

cant wait for the weapon skill tree get as big as the sword one is that would be cool just doing experiments with a staff

A way I would do recipe unlocks so that it isn't so overwhelming is have a key ingredient and when you get that key ingredient it unlocks all relevant recipes. Ex: You find iron = You unlock Iron Weapons and Armor recipes. This would also add a level of excitement of finding a new material and dashing towards the smithy to see what you can make.

thank you for showing me this game

It's different, but it certainly looks good and looks like something I'd enjoy playing It's similar enough to cube world

idk why cube world creator cant just give what fans want and bring back old cube world and slowly add new features

Do you have an opinion on a lil game coming in 2024 or 2025 at the latest called Hytale?

Veloren sounds very similar to the German word "Verloren" which means lost

Played veloren to the endgame, am even a collector of coconuts, dragon scales if u know u know. Its a great game but it shows that is still on development. Hopefully at some point we will have the complete game to grind!! :)

"Friends are a social construct and I do not partake in society - such is the law of the gamer" lmao these be facts! Thanks for making this video, happened to stumble upon something pretty neat!

wollay has started making a new cubeworld based on level progression

Yooo this looks cool!

over 1000 views, less than 10 sub, you sir deserve a great train in youtube future

Yep. That's enough for me to start Veloren.

Thank you :)

Thank you for bringing me Veloren into my radar... range? 🤔 Now that I look for new RPG games again, Veloren truly reminds me of Alpha Days of Cube world! I just don't have a strong PC so I must turn off the Water shine/reflection. Can I do that??

I love indie games cuz of this kinda stuff

i loved this game when it first came out years ago... but yeah they let me down.

Game looked fun when I tried it, the learning curve is insane though, no help

You can count on speed of development because this entire project is in rust which is more approachable like Java or c sharp yet fast like c.

Wollay got real silent when this dropped...oh wait he's always silent.

fooking saved mate. game looks cash

for couple years i thought trove was cubeworld

fun fact: Verloren is the german word for "lost"

I personally play solo becaue I cannot find merchants in multiplayer idkw.

have you guys ever heard of trove?

i miss the frog :() race

Funny thing i started playing it some time ago maxed out(almost) just because cubeworld lost what it had before

unfortunately I encountered some huge bugs in the launcher that won't let me even see what buttons I am pressing so it is almost impossible to click anything

Veloren is cool and has so much potential. But it feels clunky. Cube world atmosphere, characters, animations feel more smooth and beautiful. I hope veloren will improve so we can enjoy that beautiful game.

i will say that you can fight stronger enemy's as low lvl bec the roll gives you i frames and you can get items thought crafting so i dont think that you have to jsut cheese them

why is my computer so angry with me trying to install this game?

Open source gaming is the way forward. People are sick of being lied to and ripped off by AAA developers. And open source projects progress much faster.

Great video!

does it have pets? imo the best thing about cubeworld was collecting pets and their unique uses and interesting mechanics

Cube World Omega is in development now, but with the history of Wollay ditching the game and coming back every 3-4 years, I don't know how it's going to be. I still have hope though.

When they have cheese in this game im in

Cubeworlds Devs didnt listen to the community/were generally extremely unresponsive and I was so sad when I refunded their game after seeing them actually ruin it lol. Glad to already see a responsive dev who's willing to listen in the comments.

good video would just say I think the music is slightly too loud and I couldn't hear what you were saying.

I really disliked how dark the game gets. Whenever nighttime comes i can only see my character and run in a straight line blindly.

I have played this game and it's so much different game, Cube World and Veloren shouldn't be really compared, Cube World is simple game easy to understand while Veloren is just weird, it's the most overwhelming game I have ever played and feels super unfinished even when compared to original Cube World Alpha version

Hytale I think will fill the void that 2014 Cube World created. If the hype is accurate it'll be both what Minecraft and Cube World should have been, expansive mmo sandbox

Veloren looks good, but it just won't work well in my PC, it doesn't crash or anything, it just has awful performance in my system, I think it's pretty exigent.

Don't make me fall for this again ! I can't handle it :D

veloren is what cubeworld could have been had wollay done it right

Glimrende video. Jeg føler det som der mangler er den "skill-based" combat som Cube World havde i sin tid, og mindre grindy RPG combat, hvis det giver mening.

You left out some important details about the creators of Cubeworld. From what I read, they were the victim of a DDOS attack. Wollay was deeply, emotionally injured by it, as a result. To add insult to injury as the community, effectively, brutalized him and, by extension, his wife. Rampant malcontent, over no communication, and slow updates bred injurious comments from the community. Plus, far as I know, Wollay seemed to want to break free of the standard model of better and better gear, for monsters that, also, scale to match it. By the time he launched it on Steam, my guess is that he just wanted to be done with it. The community was very unappreciative, I'm sure he just gave up trying to please anyone, as it's really an insurmountable task to do so, anyways, which he learned first hand. I think he was very inspired, at first. Excited. And wanted to share something with others. But far as I am concerned, almost everyone along his journey to bring Cubeworld to life did nothing but sow the seeds that in the end broke him. Personally, I think they can all just blame themselves. Certainly, not everyone is at fault. But, some people in this world cannot endure much condemnation. It breaks them inside. Laying to, utter, ruin the innocent spirit that finds joys in the simple longing to share part of itself with others. Anyone that, truly, cares about anyone at all, should be deeply saddened that the world is full of cruel idiots that destroy hope, and shatter the dreams of others with their festering, pestilent behavior, and a complete lack of patience, understanding, and vision.

they should take inspiration from Valheim, its similar in core game mechanics.

To save you 8 minutes, this game IS Cube World's successor and it's really interesting game with awesome community. I played it yesterday for the first time, and it really feels awesome. More updates will come and I am excited to see where will this game go.

it seems veloren is loosing their playerbase bc of their addition of durability to their equipment. punishing players for dying yet this prevents them to progress in the beginning of tyhe game. bc the only way to get resources is to go mining, to go mining, you need armor to not die. if you do die, now you gotta repàir it or you cannot go mining again

Cube World's biggest downfall was being developed in isolation. the 2 sole devs being the only playtesters is a recipe for disaster for the overall mechanics and design

BRUh i just realized veloren is a free game

Music?

Does it have the "upgrade?" system like Cube World where you can place cubes on your weapons to visually upgrade and personalize them and make them stronger depending on what ores you put in? I care about that more than the visible northern lights at night.

Makes me kinda wonder, I heard about veloren about the time when Cubeworld released on steam... Or maybe a few months after. Everything youve listed and said almost sounds like the same experience I had when I tried it out many years ago which was also "early in developement". Which obviously I have to go check it myself to confirm my current opinion: Nothing seemd to have changed in the bigger picture. Sure, maybe more "details" or content like new biomes or monsters. But if each biome and monster plays out the same and just looks different, does it ultimately matter? Not to trample on people making games, heck im struggling with my own projects since I started out over a decade ago and I really respect anyone even putting out janky games since ultimately they actually made someone play something. And its quite sick that its free as well as open source.

inb4 wollay comes out of his hole to sue

Hello, is Veloren Worth it?

Is this a full release or beta?

10th sub

trove

isnt trove kinda just that

Bro lower the background music

or hytale

Is there pvp yet?

Valoren needs a better walking animation, the feet and hands keep getting out of sync and its so annoying to look at.

it is way better than cube world

Cube World is waaaay more aesthetically pleasing. This just looks like a Minecraft clone, literally. Meh.

The game could have amazing potential but for the longest time the combat just isn't there. There's no oomph behind it, the animations are way off and it just doesn't feel good to play unlike Cube World

Its good but somehow doesnt have the same appeal and charm to it. the music isnt as good, the artystyle isnt as crisp and the lod is kinda weird

So uh, trove?

Ur video is really quiet :(

I don't think the original creators of cube world deserve any credit. I bought the game at the height of its popularity, development was abandoned nearly immediately after the hype train died, I think the last update was 3 months after my purchase, then they went dark. Every couple of months over the next year or two I occasionally checked their website and twitter for updates but nothing, and I couldn't refund their unfinished game. I hope veloren continues development, it could possibly make my original purchase not feel like a complete waste.

the voxels having textures kills it for me tbh. it just looks really bad.

That's actually good that you can stand on top of a tree and farm trolls like that for exp and drops... The alternative would be if the trolls could destroy the tree to take you down. If you aren't allowed to exploit your environment, then that would just be a bad game.

A small correction here... It would be good and fun to play in a group of friends, or a proper group. Not just a bunch of griefy random kids.

Cube World dev legit the biggest scammer in the world

Game isnt playable in its current state give it a year or two and there might actually be content worth ur time, spent 30 mins walking around saw 0 mobs

This game sucks, I made several dungeons with a maximum level of 5* and the only thing that drops from bosses are items that sell at NPCs. other than that the durability of the item and the repair system is very bad

dead game 💀💀

I just started playing this and it is great. Very difficult, but great. You can get killed very easily and quickly. Why are there no caves? The symbols are on the map, but I have not found one actual cave.

yea

I will say it again and again, development speed and communication speeds were shit and it is not an excuse that they were only 2 people working on it. Terraria was made by 2 people and look at it now. The difference is, Wollay did this once with the alpha and knew he could do it again with the Beta.
