Gallery: The Natives Are Most Definitely Hostile In Cube Life's Survival Mode 

This is hilarious. Can Microsoft do anything about this?

It looks like PC Minecraft with shaders...

"Inspired"

@LUIGITORNADO
Hopefully not, U have Minecraft on my PS3 but couldn't stand playing it with a regular controller with my gamepad just staring at me.

It looks very nice

It actually looks pretty sharp, but time will tell if it has the appeal of Minecraft.

Also, island indians, huh? I hope they're not supposed to be some cookie-cutter bad guy.

There are inspirations, and then there are very obvious rip-offs. This is one of the latter.

BEEOOOOOPPP

BEEOOOOOPPP

RACIAL INSENSITIVITY ALERT

BEEOOOOOPPP

BEEOOOOOPPP

I'd get it!!!

Ah, yes..."inspired".

Yeah, this is a blatant rip off, from the UI, to its textures all the wa to its models. But to be fair, it might not be all that bad if its done right.
But they should definitly aim to do their very own thing with it, and not just turn it into a carbon copy of Minecraft.

Minecraft modders have shown time and time again that little, subtle changes can turn the entire game upside down. And i hope that these guys try to aim for that too instead of "just" releasing an off brand Minecraft clone to please the masses.

Sure, im still sceptic and far from convinced, but im willing to give it a shot once its here.

More incentive to kill them

I'm annoyed that Minecraft still isn't on the Wii U so if this comes out and gets a decent review I'll be buying it.

Maybe Nintendo could throw their lot in to help make sure it goes well and offer up a few Goomba's and Koopa's as monsters.

this kinda looks fun then Ucraft, but will see what the reviews said for both games,

@TheMONADO36 You know...that doesnt even sound so bad
But for it to be promoted by Nintendo themselfes, they probably need to change a few of their assets to make it a bit more "non-Minecraft"

@Nintenzo I care. I care a whole lot. In fact, I'm angry at how this makes natives absolutely aggressive and "the bad guys". Now, if they weren't all like this then I could definitely forgive them, but since they apparently are, it's discriminatory towards all indigenous people.

grabs the popcorn

isn't this kind of racist?

Hmm, there's something about this game. It's strange, it reminds me of something, but I can't quite put my finger on it. RoBlox? CubeWorld? Hmm Terraria? No, Rust. Maybe Ace of Spades? CastleMinerZ? How about SurvivalCraft, maybe but I definitely know is has Craft in it's name. Oh well, I'm sure someone else knows what game I'm thinking of.

@Kage_88

That was kind of the first thing that struck me, as well. But maybe they're good guys, not enemies. They don't really seem to be attacking the player, so maybe we'll see.

If they're the stock bad guy, though. That's a little unsavory.

@Zyon I absolutely love your avatar picture. It's like a recreation of that one scene from Totoro using Red and Snorlax, am I correct?

@BlatantlyHeroic Yup, funny thing though that wasn't my original intention when I found it. I love Trainer Red and Snorlax is my favorite Pokemon. This popped up and thought it was funny.

@Zyon Hahaha, the way things work out.

Are they really hostile? They look very... Calm and curious in those screens.

@Kage_88 Yeah I thought the exact same thing. I don't think it was intentional but someone didn't read the TV tropes page on Unfortunate Implications.

The water looks pretty though

I looked at all the screenshots, and it seems only a few natives are wielding something that looks like bows. They mostly wield pickaxes, which just seems to make them look less intimidating. Maybe they're neutral?

Don't see the problem. Notch himself never had any problems with all these Minecraft clones anyway, i doubt it changed with Microsoft getting their hands on Minecraft.

I'm proooooobably gonna get this game. Looks like the best clone so far and I've been waiting for just that. Let's see how it turns out

It looks really nice and it's probably one of the best Minecraft like games I seen, but I just hope they add some stuff to make it differentiate from Minecraft.

@LUIGITORNADO Was wondering the same.

Let them be vicious cannibals!

It would be nice to have something like this on Wii U

This looks like somebody made a custom texture pack for Minecraft and said it was another game entirely.

Those natives are literally the same resolution(pixel wise) as Minecraft skins. And added to that, the wooden pickaxes they're holding look EXACTLY like wooden pickaxes in MC.

I'm calling shenanigans here.

Clearly it's just Minecraft with a different name, skin, and shading.

Looks cool, really.

Let's hope the natives are friendly and not actually angry because otherwise... wow, super racist. O_o

Folks, there are clones of games all the time. Every 2d platformer is an attempt to rip Mario off. Minecraft is not coming to WiiU, so if this gets good reviews, support it if you like this genre.

It's OK to create a Minecraft inspired game, but this is just a straight up Texture Pack for the original Minecraft. Heck, just look at the Axe! It's identical! There's inspiration, and then there's copy-pasting. And I think this is just too much copy-pasting.

@XCWarrior I see you fail to understand the meaning of "ripoff". Not every platformer is a "ripoff" of Super Mario Bros - it's just a general idea of characters and platforms that is similar (and even that is not always true). Games like Cube Creator are ripoffs because not only they are made to play exactly the same as Minecraft, but also mostly look identical (no, post processing effects don't count).

This is a ripoff of a game that, to be honest, I also find irrelevant. Everybody demand Minecraft on Wii U, but I am asking - what for? It is available on everything else, including PC. It runs well even on weaker laptops and netbooks, so why do people even buy that again for their consoles (mind you, those versions are very limited compared to PC original)? I fail to see the point. Just as I fail to see the point of so many Minecraft clones even existing.

Also - with blatant copy-pasting happening here, I wouldn't be surprised if a lawsuit popped up and the entire thing was shot down before it could release. Which would be bery appropriate.

Nothing against a clone.
1. There should be good clones of good games that aren't available on the system.
2. There should be good clones of good games that can't get on the system because of legal reasons.

And since there's not a MineCraft clone on Wii U I'm all for it.

I don't know how close this is to MineCraft (as I don't know every MineCraft pixel by heart), but it's concerning, so please don't rip off the graphics straight and try to do your own thing, or your game gets pulled and no one is happy.

Where is the line where inspired turns into ripped off?

How come does this even allowed. I mean, atleast the cubic world block would be passable, but then having everything similar or maybe even ripped from minecraft?

Just no...

On th eother side, the water effect looks really nice.

I smell a lawsuit

Nice one, will be waiting for a review but sounds something I'll get.

@Kifa There are people who only play games on Nintendo systems. I'm not one of them, but there are many.

I get what a ripoff is... but honestly you can't sue for a graphic design type. As long as they change the names of some stuff, it's going to be OK copyright wise. Imitation is the sinceriest form of flattery.

Not like Minecraft people are bringing their game to WiiU/3DS, the systems aren't capable of running the game, or the guy's cat is allergic to Nintendo, or not enough polygons, or whatever BS excuse their PR person wants to use.

I don't care if it does look like more of a rip-off, Mojang and M$ have had their chance to bring it to Wii U, they failed so someone is doing it for them.

>inspired by minecraft
>inspired

Actually, it looks nice.

If only this would have offline multiplayer (one on the game pad, othe ron the TV) I would buy this.

@BlatantlyHeroic They don't look very hostile in all screens. Also, on the screenshot where the player's arm is visible, it kind of looks like you're a native too. Maybe you're the bad guy.

@Danrenfroe2016 I'm Native American mix (most people think I'm Mexican), and don't see anything wrong. I pretty much have the same skin color. Beside we don't know the roles in the game. People ar too sensitive. I'm getting this!

Leave it to a game titled "Cube Life" to use a skysphere rather than a skybox.
