This is an open source version of another game called Cube World, which was basically a scam when it came out. Had only a few of the promised features and didn’t update for years.
- philipwhiuk 1y agoI mean they're all just Minecraft clones.
- maeln 1y agoNot at all. Aside from the aesthetic choice, both cube world and veloren have nothing in common with minecraft when it comes to gameplay.
- vintermann 1y agoDefault gameplay maybe? But I'm pretty sure there were servers that tried to do whatever Veloren is doing. The diversity of minigames and whole game concepts on Minecraft servers was pretty extreme for a while.
- SkiFire13 1y agoThe term you might be looking for is voxel games.
- philipwhiuk 1y agoNot really - look at the feature list. You can make other voxel games. This game is not that, it's explicitly the list of features in Minecraft.
- vmg12 1y agoAnd minecraft is an infiniminer clone which is a 3d clone of Motherload which is a clone of ...
- zanderwohl 1y agoAnd minecraft started as an Infiniminer clone intended to have Dwarf Fortress elements. Inspiration all the way down.
- philipwhiuk 1y agoMerging two different ideas is almost by definition, not cloning.
- rhet0rica 1y agoBut Cube World wasn't a crafting or mining game; rather, it was an open-world Zelda-like ARPG, with a lot of progression from randomly-generated gear. The voxel size is smaller, and voxels are untextured, resulting in a 3D-ified pixel sprite look.
- suavesito 1y agoThe project started, as you stated, as a clone of Cube World (the name CloneWorld was thrown a few times, did not stick). But it was rapidly decided that the direction we wanted was different. Veloren is a look-similar (and I would argue that not that much) of Cube Wolrd, but it is headed in a completely independent direction.
- tormeh 1y agoI think this is a bit outdated. Veloren started out as a Cube World clone, but the goal has changed over time to Veloren being its own thing.
