Let me start off by stating that this is not some 'trendy minecraft server thread', or a mode of advertisement. This thread is entitled to provide information about a new sandbox game that is currently under development, and has been for quite some time now. I'll also be including some screenshots, since most people see things better visually. The game is based off of the idea behind Minecraft.

About Cubition

Cubition is an open-sourced Java OpenGL sandbox game licensed under the Apache License, providing a completely open framework for developers to create and come up with custom "game-modes". The development of Cubition started up earlier this year (March 2014 long before all of this "EULA" commotion) with only a single developer (@beeselmane). It became abandoned only a couple months into it. However @beeselmane had an excellent start on the project, and at the end of May of 2014, development resumed again, and up to this day it's not been abandoned. I was acquired into the project only not so long ago (earlier in June).


Code?

I've stated that this game will be open-sourced, so of course the code is available and open for contributions. The code-base has been organized into groups which makes it easier for us, and our contributors. It was last month when we moved everything into an organization.

Screenshots?

Heh. These images are kinda old, but should at least give you a "basic" idea of how some things will come out in appearance.

Downloads?

We're working hard to push an Alpha build sometime this month. We do have a few "partial early releases" but they're probably of not use to you right now. You may visit http://dl.cubition.net to download our partial early release. We're currently on build #35.

If you have any questions feel free to PM me here or there. I'll be hanging around here too to post new updates and such.

Time is beginning to become an issue. Without the time, nothing can nor will be accomplished. This project is being done by the spare time that we have.

Thanks

Heh. Those pictures are from last month. Only the textures for a few mobs and a some blocks have been completed. The builds containing such textures will not be addressed quite yet.

Looks like a nice game, The images were huge and I recommend using imgur so that it can all be in a album and you can just send a link to everyone.

Also it looks like Minecraft but with Shaders on xD

If I were you, I would definitely try to push the game away from minecraft, because by looking at your screenshots, I would think that this would be some sort of water mod for minecraft. You should make it similar to minecraft with it being sandbox, but make it as different as you can with graphics and gameplay so that people will be inclined to actually play it.

Everyone says that the game is like minecraft, when in reality both games end up being discrete from each other . Although it may seem like a "hackable" or should I call, version of minecraft. The screenshots don't seem to be descriptive enough to give a general idea, which I also agree with. (I'll add more screenshots sooner or later )

Maybe I should also add the part where our game is inspired by the idea of minecraft .

That could work, just make sure that it has plenty of unique ideas with it also, because that is what will help get the game more popular, I wish you good luck.
