THE VOID + BRAWLER CAM + WALL JUMPING + CHAR MENU IN LEVEL - 0.0.5v3*
Packed with ALL sorts of fun!
Alrighty friends :) I've got what I think is some super fun stuff for this update! Rather than me list it all out, just scroll through them GIFS! Also! Don't forget about the Secret Code at the bottom of the post!
The Void
Have a new weapon you want to test out? Want to just zone out and murdilate some enemies? Enter the Void. A place between worlds, where your memories and places you've been influence the world around you. Tap 'V' on the Map to automagically go there :)
Brawler Cam
Ever wish you could see the world from a different perspective? Now you can with the all new BRAWL CAM! :D okay but seriously, doesn't Warcube look totally rad like this too?! Tap 'R' to swap between views, they both offer certain advantages :)
***NOTE*** If Brawler Cam isn't working for you, try going to the main menu and clearing your key bindings. Then you can rebind them afterwards :)
Wall Jumping
Come on guys, WHY did it take so long for this to make it into the game?! Pull off some super sick moves by wall jumping! (and you can also kindaaa wall run + jump, but it's finicky ːsteamhappyː)
Character Menu Anytime!
By popular demand! You can now swap equipment whenever you want :) just tap 'C' to go there! (Moved blocking to 'E' and 'MMB') Remember you can do key remapping from the main screen options!
Also, again I know it sounds obvious
But if you DO enjoy Warcube in the slightest, be sure to leave a positive review for it on the store page, it would really mean so much to me :) it's crazy encouraging to me and doesn't even have to be fancy, just a few words would do :D
UPDATE POLLS!
Do you think the Brawler Cam feature should be a permanent feature?
http://www.strawpoll.me/13153122
Does the Void show promise? (ideally as you complete more locations, it adds more little areas to its procedural list) Plus there's some other fun stuff tied in with it I can't talk about just yet ;D

SPECIAL MOVES, NEW OUTPOST! - 0.0.4v4
Because what kind of a hero doesn't have special moves?!
Alrighty friends :) got a super exciting update this time. Wanted to officially announce that I'm pushing siege mode for bit until I wrap up the Old Kingdom's outposts, there's some mechanics for the siege that I'm SUPER excited about, but that just wouldn't work out well without more Outpost locations complete. So hopefully those will be able to satisfy your hunger for conquest a bit ;)
The awesome banner this update was created by Roori, also know as Eggy around the Warcube Forum/Discord! Be sure to give him a shout! :D

Back in Action! :D - 0.0.2v5
I'm back! :D
Gosh :) what a wild past couple weeks! I wish I could say I'm well rested... but as many of you already guessed, that's totally not the case since Emery was born :P one of my favorite comments was this...
@TheDude1972, you know whats up :P
But I'm just genuinely excited to finally be back at development! A few of you probably already noticed, I started ramping back up this week and have been around the Forum and Discord, always so cool to see new people even just after a couple weeks!
Now here's something crazy for you to ponder though...
Warcube launched just over a month ago.
I have to keep rereading that, because it just doesn't register mentally. Since launch things have been busy, very busy. Definitely in a good way though! Since launch on January 27th there's been...
22 updates to the game
24 Player Suggestion implemented
117 bugs squashed
232 Discord Members
287 Forum Topics Started
Too many new friends to count :)
In addition! There was also a milestone update featuring the Arena! Which I was super excited to get out right before I had my first kid! :D

BRB, just had BABYZ!
Wanted to let everyone know we JUST had our first baby yesterday!
A little girl we're naming Emery :)
I'll be off the grid for at least a week (hehe, at least that's the plan!), but might sneak a peek at my phone from time to time, so if you send me any messages/posts, I'll probably see them still ;)
I'm absolutely terrified to be a parent, but can't WAIT to show them all sorts of awesome games! :P Thanks for being patient with me and for all the support you guys have shown me so far, it makes me wake up with a smile every day :)
