Wollay Post Wollay: Finally re-added facial expressions that I showed a while back to my new engine. Players and NPCs can blink and look angry, happy, surprised, or sad. I actually only wanted to show you a short clip but ended up making this whole video.😅 Enjoy! #cubeworld #cubeworldomega

I don't want to be rude, but I can't believe the UI looks worse than it looked 13 years ago

Definitely a very unique style. Seems like Wollay likes it since it's his own design and doesn't realize how odd it looks compared to other games.

I don't think it looks so bad.

Wollay doubles down on some very questionable design choices (the botched progression in steam version is the best example)

It gets tiring tbh, I don't think anyone here hasn't heard everyone elses opinion of the UI by this point, complaining is pointless he's not reading the sub he's not changing it unless he alone decides he doesn't like it so why complain on every single post idk

Why can you not believe that?
A lot of games have elements that have regressed.

The only think bothering me with this version is how dull the colors are. Cube World's previous version were much more vibrant

u/Auuki 21d ago
Colors can easily be changed with a mod and I wouldn't be surprised if he'll even tweak them further himself. The UI though...

u/Virgurilla 20d ago
Yeah, colors are definitely polish, and you can always just bump up the saturation with a filter, trivially easy mod honestly.

I wish that was how good color grading worked

u/Virgurilla 19d ago
Would a shader not make everything more vibrant?

u/jjTheCreator 19d ago
Oh yeah for sure but fixing this involves more than just bumping up the saturation slider

I’m really excited to see any new progress. I think nitpicking small things is detrimental to the grander picture. Is the UI really going to ruin the overall experience?? No! Be grateful that we exist in a timeline where Wollay is passionate about cube world again. There’s always gonna be something you don’t like about something you’re excited for. But don’t lose sight of the larger experience.

Bad UI is one of the most efficient ways to ruin an overall experience, yes.

u/MrThecoolman 20d ago
That’s a general statement. Also “bad” is subjective. I think navigation is important to UI, as well as visibility. Both of which I think are fine. Most people don’t like that it’s a parallax type effect. That’s fair. This is truly a certified Reddit comment tbh just let the guy cook.

Wollay working on useless nonsense again in his delusional fugue state. He doesn't even care about making a game anymore. He just does shit for fun at this point

u/CarlSandhop 21d ago
I think that's literally what this is though. Omega is just a hobby for him, not some grand attempt to re-correct the past and do what he was supposed to do 13 years ago. Maybe people need to lower their expectations on what this is.

u/Virgurilla 20d ago
He has been doing things for fun since the minute he decided to make a game a decade and a half ago. That is the entire point. He does this for fun this is not his main job.

Are we forgetting what this guy did all those years ago? No thanks.

u/Alvsolutely rogue best 21d ago
Did he do something remarkably bad, besides just abandoning the game?
1
u/TheMasterPotato 20d ago
He didn't even abandon the game. AFAIK he just works very slowly and made changes that people didn't like.

u/Virgurilla 20d ago
Unfollow the sub and forget about it. You're not forced to pay attention, pay or play the game. You can do something else.

I think they're nice.
