It's been said before but is worth repeating: People like this guy and Phil Fish could do amazing work if only they trusted other people to help them. I do realise it's tied up with mental health problems (believe me, I know that intimately) but honestly that's more an indictment of attitudes toward mental health in general. I'm not downplaying the damage done to the mentality of fans over this, I just hope that future developers learn lessons from this and understand that seeking help is not being weak or losing control of a project.

​@@MazeFrame Not all mega corps are bad. Nintendo's 1st party games, whatever you think of them, have never been rushed and are overall excellently polished. A few titles have too little content for the price in some fans eyes, but the content that IS there is enjoyable for those who like the genre. I'd also like to point you to Peter Molyneux as an indie creator who had very little influence from publishers but still was "that guy who overpromised to the media and then the programmers had to scramble to include those features." It doesn't matter if it's a megacorp or an indie studio, it matters whose at the helm.

Management is a balancing act and at a high level it gets pretty complex to keep track of all the moving pieces and to make quick decisions based on limited information. A LOT of self employed artistic types tend to struggle with that because all of a sudden it’s no longer them somewhere in a room doing their thing at their own speed, it’s 50 people with deadlines and requirements and ideas of what a project should look like. From experience, best thing to do is get someone who puts a leash on artsy types so they can shine where they are good and let the other person deal with all the nitty gritty stuff that keeps things moving. Sounded like they needed a general manager really badly xD

4:00 with regards to this DDOS "attack", it wasn't a very proven "attack" as it was merely speculated to be one. Considering how the "attacks" only happened during the night(or mostly), another explanation could be that his store couldn't handle the overwhelming amount of costumers who'd start trying to buy the game from Europe, as Europeans are time wise about 4-8 hours ahead. (Note, this is addressed later in the video, somewhat)

Ooh boi, I was there during the Beta debacle. It was very stressful, I remember it felt like an actual war was going on. The very highhorse defenders attacking anything resembling criticism, with venomous comments on all sides. But there was still a solid core of genuine people who wanted to make the release good and desperately kept trying to suggest changes, or even just delay the release because EVERYONE knew it would be a disaster if it released in that state. Then we just had the war feeling like trying to speak through a glass door with muffled answers, and at the end, radio silence, it released, it crashed and burned. Way too much good will was burnt on wanting Wollay to have a success. No more, I can't defend or even care about anything related to Cubeworld. It's too depressing, and regardless of if he's actually a master connist or as he claims to be, I don't want anything from him anymore.

There is a reason I personally NEVER publish anything beyond silly memes: What if someones wants to give me money for it? I know damn well I would not have the strength to say no to money! And with money, suddenly there is expectations. One guy in a shed can only get so much done. I find people exhausting so I would do like Wolley and just... drop the PR. Concerning the DDoS attack story: Sidney Decker may want to have a word with the author(s) of that theory. Because in hindsight, with no stress, with more information available and knowing the outcome, it is obvious what went wrong.

I've seen this type of behaviour from small indie devs quite often. It is human, it is understandable, however, it is also utterly and completely wrong. If you go and put yourself out there with a project of yours, whether it's a story, a game, a comicbook, poem, a piece of music, you open yourself up to reactions. It is completely delusional to expect all reactions to be positive, even discounting the trolls, it's basically impossible that your first try/version/release/draft etc.. is perfect. If it isn't perfect, there will be people pointing out what isn't perfect, and of those some will not be polite and friendly. Then there will be people who don't like specific parts of your projects, just because it isn't to their tastes and many of those people don't understand that not everything has to be for everybody and will act accordingly, like entitled douches (which many of them are tbh, you can't expect every game, comic, novel etc... to fit your specific taste, that is something many people today seem to have never learned). You have to have a way to deal with the positive and negative reactions (and don't think that positive reactions are all good for you), otherwise you'de be better off NOT to put yourself out there in the first place. In an ideal world, everybody would be nice to a sensitive creative person showing their dream project to the world, but we are so far from an ideal world, it is almost laughable. Last but not least, criticism is important, as I mentioned basically nothing comes ever out perfectly at the first attempt. You NEED people to point out where your creative endeavour is faulty, doesn't work out, needs improvement or just is plainly bad (stuff like controls and UI come to mind for that). I know several devs that only interact with people on their patreon and on discord and ban and silence everyone criticizing them, leaving only yes-sayers and sycophants that will just blindly support everything they do, no matter how bad it is. And that shows, lord knows it shows. And this is just in regard to criticism and reactions, the point that money was being paid isn't even part of all of this. It's basically a whole new level of reasons why not to go radio-silent and stop communicating.

I was honestly so disappointed in Cube World. I bought the Alpha and it was so fun I'd go back to it every other year to play it for a week or so. I'd find a forum of people playing, group with them, we'd talk about if the game was ever actually coming out, ect ect, then I'd be like "That was fun, but I wonder if the real thing will come out eventually". I nearly jumped out of my seat when I saw it for sale on steam, finally after 6 or so years, we finally have the full game... and it sucked. I was actually impressed with how the creator ruined everything good about the game. I know he was overwhelmed with how popular the game was getting, but this really shows how important community feedback is to a games development. Dude had a ace in the hole game, said "this is my baby, I'm going to make it how I want" (which is fine to an extent), then proceeded to release next to nothing on his game for 6 years to drop what was basically a knock off of the original. Like the reason people liked it was the game was a procedurally generated rouge like with infinite leveling and plenty of continuous content to explorer new areas biomes and areas. IDK how he came to the conclusion to locking everything you get to one area being a good thing and taking out the tried and true method of a leveling system for "Go find the monuments to level up" was a good idea. It literally killed 2/3 of the enjoyment of the game. To better explain why it's dumb, locking your items to an area is basically saying "none of your progress matters", because running from spawn to area X, Y, or Z will have the same results as clearing it and moving on. The monument thing is stupid because it makes it so you can skip past combat to level up then just get high level gear, not that it matters because it's gonna get reset anyways. He then just abandoned his "passion project", rather then listening to people tell him what was wrong with it, effectively crying in a corner instead of fixing his. It'd be like failing to get into art school, you get critiqued on what to fix on your paintings, then throwing a hissy fit that people didn't like them and thinking you were right while never improving. Overall though, just a major disappointment of a game... I wonder if I can just go back and get the alpha or get mods to fix it? (What's even worse was I was in basic training at the time, so the entire happy to devastated thing literally happened in a matter of minutes as I finally got internet access over Christmas, saw the game, saw it sucked, and saw the dev already abandoned it again)

@@ArtificialDjDAGX It doesnt matter what WE consider it to be. The developer marked it as a completed version, its not Early Access anymore. Also EA version wasnt even on Steam anyway so good luck getting a refund directly from him. EA version dropped as an EXE that came from Woolays own website. I know, I had it. IT didnt come out on Steam until it was the "full" release (though it had like..a 1 or 2 week faux Early Access)

I don't see how a developer can ever be successful if they're even a fraction as fragile as Wollay. Whether you consider what you make to be art, a commercial product or something in between, you are putting out a product that you expect people to buy and it will be judged accordingly. Sometimes harshly. Everyone is a critic and no matter how objectively great your end result is, there will still be some amount of people telling you its the worst thing they've ever seen. Gotta learn to read the room and filter out the noise. It will never be perfect and "good enough" is a concept you'll have to get comfortable with. Even a little bit of communication goes a long way in gaining community trust too. Can't just wall yourself off from your prospective buyers.

I feel WAY more sympathy for Wollay than any of the complaining fans. If you put money towards an early access game you are entitled to nothing other than the knowledge your money is now gone. Just like stock investors have no gurantee they'll make any money when they buy. Complaining about an indie dev not following the release date you made up in your head is ridiculous. I learned my lesson almost 10 years ago with Spacebase DF9. It was an early access game made by Double Fine, a relatively large studio with a long past of selling completed, good games. I supported it thinking an established dev wouldn't take the money and run. Surprise! The games final update added no content, fixed no bugs, and just changed the version number from Alpha 0.03 to Full release 1.0. The game is still for sale at full price on steam

I suffer from frequent anxiety, so I _want_ to give the guy sympathy... But I can't because of his lying. Especially to people who _paid him money._ Having an anxiety attack as a nearly-solo indie dev and just wanting / needing to hide under a rock for a while to recuperate is understandable. But he should've been honest about it and explained he was going to be a digital hermit that only makes update posts every X months (and then stick to the schedule). By lying about the DDoS attack, I now have to wonder if he's lying about the anxiety as well. His whole character becomes suspect. Accepting money means increased responsibility.

That they are deleting negative comments is a massive red flag and if he got scared cause of DDOS attacks, he will be even more scared for player backlash who have not forgotten Cubeworld. I still can't believe he went zero contact on us all who supported him early back then, just to then release a different game that was inferior to the Alpha. He promised a big patch just went he disappeared. His fanboys defend him till no end, but he has a lot proof if he wishes to get any money from me ever again. He better make Omega a free update or a free version for those who bought Cubeworld, as a backer I deserve the game that was promised would be weird if he now makes that game and then tell us backers we need to pay for it again.

Okay, look, I really wanna feel bad for this guy, as a person who has anxiety so bad I literally get disability checks for it. But sometimes, you really gotta look in the mirror and ask yourself 'Can I do this?'. You gotta be humble and recognize when you can't handle shit, ESPECIALLY when you're taking peoples money. Would I cry, run and hide and leave the internet for months with no updates at the slightest issue? Quite possibly. But I wouldn't keep the game going like this in the first place. If I made a little indie game that blew up into a smash hit with fans circling me like vultures, I'd say 'Fuck this, sorry guys, I can't handle it.'. Of course that's hard to do, I spent most of my teen years struggling with that, but again, you're taking peoples money, at SOME point you gotta face the music and realize you can't handle this.

There is a game called Veloren, very much inspired by CubeWorld, in fact an attempt to implement and improve the original concept of the game. It is completely free and open source, written on a custom game engine in Rust programming language. The game is still in development, but there is already a public version with working multiplayer. Although I have certain complaints about the developers themselves, in general I think that CubeWorld fans should know about such a successor to the original idea. Upd: typos

I remember getting into this game super early and playing the Alpha in 2013. I was dealing with a lot, studying to get into Uni as a game dev, working nights in a fridge to support my mum with rent and bills who had cancer and couldn't work. In August she sadly passed away, as my last living family member I obviously fell off this games radar as I swiftly had to grieve, go to University and deal with it all, sadly unhealthy and rebuild my life. But because of that it holds an odd memory of remembrance in my mind for the few months I did play it. I was disconnected from all this hate the developer was getting though, I might not be able to fully sympathise and understand how he felt but i do feel for them. The hunt for the next Minecraft was pretty insatiable for some.

A lot shows that he may have been a good programmer, but lacked skills in every other area of being a developer. Time management, setting and keeping milestones, feature design are as important to a developer as programming itself. The best code doesn't matter if you can't deliver what was promised in time. The whole "several reworks from scratch" already were a big red flag. I would only completely refactor a feature from scratch if absolutely necessary. Everything else is mostly not worth the time. Refactor it multiple times from scratch? Not in my life. Clearly he started programming before actually knowing what he wanted to create and spent way too little time in the design phase of the feature.
