This is my old development blog for my project Cube World.
There is now an official site: picroma.com.
The game is still in development and not available for download. Be careful of fake downloads.

New Cube World name recap
Thanks for the comments! For those who don't know why I don't keep the name "Cube World": To avoid trademark issues and associations with Minecraft clones.
Here are a few things I've learned:
- Japanese sounding names aren't well accepted everywhere (I have no idea why), so "Kyubu" and "Kami Heroes" are out.
- Some people don't like names which are too childish or too cute. So "Little Cube Adventure" (my personal favorite), "Cube Boy" and "Lost in Monsterland" are out. I like this kind of names because they remind me of good old SNES/Sega Genesis times. :)
- "Spirit Hunter" sounds generic but I think most modern titles do. On the other hand I agree that it doesn't capture the true essence of my game. Gathering spirit cubes isn't so much of a focus in the game. So "Spirit Hunter" is also out.
The focus of the game is exploring a strange, huge world which is made up of cubes. Maybe someone finds a catchy name for this. :) I hope I can come up with a new list soon. New suggestions are always welcome!

What happened to "Spirits of Alea" or Plains of Alea"? I like Alea at least.
Hi Wollay,
I've been looking almost every day for new updates on your blog, for a loooong time. Cube world looks amazing so far, so it needs a even more amazing name...
Tessara or the Latin word for quadrilaterals(Aka cubes :3)
Can we attack peacful NPC's?
Adventures of Alea maybe?
Hi Wollay,
I've been looking almost every day for new updates on your blog, for a loooong time. Cube world looks amazing so far, so it needs a even more amazing name...
Tessara or the Latin word for quadrilaterals(Aka cubes :3)
Voxe Era
I don't think a non-English name like Alea is a good idea.
How about "That Game Where You Build Stuff And Fight Monsters"?
Voxel World?
How about Quber's Quest?
The Brothers of Wolley
World 3^ (cubed)
The World's Adventures
Tessara or the latin word for quaderlaterlas AKa cubes?
What about Bitventure?
Forge quest is taken... so is mine quest and Lands of Eternia lol..
PRISM PHANTASY
Quest of Eternity might be a good one.
Quadra Quest
Because cubes are made of square faces, which are quadrilaterals.
"Cobbled Together"
Quadrelapse
"Spiribits" fits perfectly, in my opinion. On the Cube World Forums, this name suggestion is only second to the original "Cube World" name. Any opposed?
"Heroes Story"
I liked Alea too. Plains of Despair sounds too dark, but it's cool too.
Just: My world
Wixxie Empire. I don't know I just found it interesting.
Righteous Quest! That should be the name of it. it sounds a bit light spirited when you say it outloud :D
yesyesyes
Spirit Hunters / Spirit Warriors / World of Telasia / Honor Warrios / Warriors of Telasia / Spirit Fighter
Maybe? :D
The Adventure of Wollay
Strangeland: The Cubicle Adventure
I liked "Little Cube Adventure" :(
Legend of vox
No Wollay dont give in because people dont get the name.Kami Heroes,and I honestly don't know what else I can name it now.Kami Heroes was legit.Your game looks like JRPG.Kami is Japanese for Spirit/Diety.Don't cave in because people wont get Kami.I don't know what else to call this game.I'm done here,I'll play regardless.
Why change the name anyway, I think cube world is the perfect description of the game and it's the name everyone is used to hearing. :)
Plains of pixel land
I agree with Demon, Bitventure
Or Bit Empire
Vast Lands.
Edens adventure. Or the garden of Eden.
It's trademarked already.
This sounds good along with Kingdoms of Neveround
"voxel planet" or "world^3"?
How about "Qb" or "QB". Pronounced "Cube"?
Tales of Alea
and now where back to square one..
Cubedem
Cubedom
And Japanese names are cool, I don't know why people don't like it.
But ultimently it is your choice
I am going to buy the game even if it is called "fluffy pony fu fu" (if your wondering fu fu means nothing at all; just made up)
Having a good title is nice because it can attract more people but the main aspect of how a game spreads is by people telling people. Multiplayer will help greatly with that.
Voxian
Maybe "Cube Time"
im fond of Cube Land.
Cube Quest? Cube Adventure? Adventure in Cubes? Lost in Cubeland? World of Cube?
I like Lands of Eternia
M.U.O.C. World Explorers (Made Up Of Cubes)
Voxelventure?
Alea sound like a girl name, like Aela (from Skyrim)
i think "Little Cube Adventure" is cool, but if people do not like the "little"
than change it to "epic cube adventure" or "grand cube adventure" etc...
Yes, that's the one
Realm of Alea as someone mentioned in the previous blog posts, it sounds perfect.
Any people like Tales of Alea?
Spirit Legends Tales
Whispered world, forge-pix
Cuberland
Kubos Tales
Cubus Tales
???
If u want to relate the game to the 16-bit era, maybe you should try something like "Nostalgia". This name is probably taken, but maybe someone can find a similar name.
And that's supposed to be a bad thing?
whats the ultimate goal(if there is any?) on the game?
How about Abstract Realm
Lost in Monsterland is still awesome.
Gods of Dishonor?
Endless Realms
Forgot to mention, it's only Latin and it captures the game just fine. Considering the english language is derived from Latin.
Cubit Raiders
Realms
of
destiny
Little Cube Adventure is an awesome name!
Haters gonna hate.
I'm liking World³ so far.
x3 World
I would agree more with the Japanese, but Latin's dead and has a lot of influence in a lot of languages. It's up to you though.
regardless of what he decides to name the game i will always call it Cube World
Pixel Planet
The problem with naming a game when no ones played it kinda makes things hard to make a decision on a game name. Though with the most Ive seen on this game makes me think The Oblong Adventures In Voxlandia :P
"Its a Cubey World"
spirit bits
spirit bit
spiribit
spiribits
I'm telling you Wollay,Kami Heroes was the one,but it's all up to you.You don't always go with what the community likes,it's what's best for the game.
"Wollay's World" I've sent multiple emails with this as a name suggestion, lol I adore your game and will people make accounts and no one else can take that name? Please say yes so all of the people that like your game before it even came out can get the good names cause they all love it so much!
Pixelation Nation
Nation Pixelation
Pixel Nation
Cube Story
Pixel Story
Square Story
Block Story
Cube Scape
Adventure^3 (Adventure Cubed)
Story^3 (Story Cubed)
Pixelscape
Having the word "Tales" in the title is going to make it a hit no matter what comes after it ;)
Kubix
How about Micro Cube Adventure, still has a similar sound but not as childish.
"Itty Bitty Heroes"
How about Abstract RealmHow about Abstract RealmHow about Abstract RealmHow about Abstract RealmHow about Abstract RealmHow about Abstract RealmHow about Abstract Realm
How about Cube Planet?
It symbolizes the cubic aspect of the game and the size of the map.
Pixel Adventure
lol that was weird i ment to say How about Abstract Realm
ahh Lost in Monsterland and Little Cube Adventure where awesome. Remember you can not make everyone happy. So why not just make me happy!
Enter the Panus
What about Tessara its sounds cool, right...
CUPG or CUPlay or CUTION? .... pixtion?
Cube adventure, Freakin voxels, something like that.
Land Escape ^^
Maybe keep it simple? "Fantasy World"? I thought "World of Wonder" sounded good until I realised it sounds too much like "World of Warcraft".
"Spirit Quest"?
Since you said its focus is exploration of a strange world... "Strangeland"...nah, but maybe somewhere that way? >,< Naming stuff is hard.
"Age of Fantasy"... aaaahg, I give up, for now.
I'm trying to think of something similar to "The New World". The title isn't supposed to advertise this game's cube-ness nor it's retro style or voxel engine, this game is about exploring and I think a name that captures that is what Wollay is looking for.
Spirit of Terra?
Does, indeed
half spark / tales of the white spark
Too much like Terraria
Lichquest ? Dragonquest ? Aleaquest?
I'm still a fan of Spirit 'Splorers or Super 'Splorers or something that has 'Splorers in it. because 'splorers is a silly word
Because the name Cube World is so good, maybe a work around the copyright would be to have the title: (Cube Picture) World
So the word cube would be represented by an actual cube and the word "World" goes right after it. People will automatically read it as Cube World and it wouldn't have any copyright nonsense as you wouldn't be using the actual word. If this would work I think it's a good idea. :)
"Lost within the cubes"
I still like the name "Wollay's World" the best
I think it may be too close to the "Tales" games. Tales of Vesperia, Symphonia, yadda, yadda.
Remember, Mojang just got out of a huge lawsuit from Bethesda.
cool sounding, yet there is a diference between pixel and a bit.
i think Bitopia: a Pixelated journey sounds nice
That was the name I suggested. http://wollay.blogspot.ca/2012/10/help-me-find-new-name-for-cube-world.html
That's why we are suggesting and Wollay is filtering.
Pixel hero
hhmmm
I'm with yeah bro
Rubik Explorer?
WollayWorld! Seriously.
Exactly what I was thinking
Voxville
BitQuest
idk some suggestions
World Cubed or " World³ " for short
The Spore of Alea (O.O)
What about Abstract Realm
war aventure
i like it
Expansive Fantasy.
It's your game, Wollay. You know the game better than the rest of us.
Tales Of Cubic Hunters!
what about the World of Cubia
Doesn't sound too bad, but maybe focuses too much on how it looks, and not how it (supposebly) plays?
Wollay please I'm telling you,it's going to be 1000 more bad names,we already heard half of these already,I really hope you make the right decision.
Bitventure
Pixel Lands
Geometric Aventure :P
true
Alea splorer :D
How about Spirit Forge?
A Blocky Tale
Woxel Adventure (Wolley - Voxel)
I like it!
Spirit story?
Pixel Tales
I like it :D
Vast Lands?
Explorers of Biternia
Supposed to be like Bit Ternia but together so one or two t's.
Pixel Spirits
Bitventure Sounds sick !
Just checked the name BitVenture it's taken Bit Venture is anyway.
Dovla, please stop spamming
Or maybe "Vast Lands of Alea?"
Or..... QuadVenture
soul land
The Legend³
EnternalCube?
yeah
How does Bit-Forge sound to you guys?
lost in pixel :)
Mini Quest
Very crafting-based, but I like it.
Sometimes it works out though... I remember back on the SNES I played the crap out of a game called Illusion of Gaia... Gaia is not something I had ever heard of but the geek in me said Hell yeah! :)
Bitverse
Tales Of Cubic Heroes
It's clear.

Hexahedria
(based off of the term "Hexahedron")
Cube Journey.
Hey wolf, what about something like "Cubae Lilium "?
Any people agree to Alea Splorer? ( sorry for my bad english, I an brazilian )
BitQuest
Neveround is still my favorite name for this game however I feel as if Kingdoms of Neveround doesn't really fit if there aren't any actual
kingdoms around.
-Neveround Stories
-Neveround Legends
-Neveround Adventures
-Tales of the Neveround
Would fit well though in my opinion
Dude, go back to lost in monsterland. It perfectly captures the nature of your game. Admit it.
I disagree to, Latin is a dead language that has influenced hundreds of other languages, including English, its terms are used on a everywhere in science and is the building block in the standard system of measurements.
How about Voxploration/Voxplorers/Explorxels?
"Let it Bit" or "Bitventure" (Idea from Demon) "Bit Explorer", "Cube Adventure", "Spirit Explorer"
anyone like Abstract Realm
Quest^3
Cube Chronicles
Pixel Quest
Cube Crusade
no lol just no..
Endless Realms
Lands of Eternity
Hero's Path
Paths of Eternity
Bit Era !!!
Q.U.B.E
Quest under Bit Empire
Enjoyed Vast Lands =)
This Golden Planet
Latin names.... not too many people will understand them so probably not.
Vertex Venture, Pixel Peril
A Strange Cubey World
"God of Cubes/Voxels" ?
anyone like Abstract Realm or (Cube Picture) World
Little Bit Planet
GeoVenture / CubeVentures
How about Adventure³. Since ³ is the math symbol for cubed! I think it would be kind of a cute name.
"The Wild Reach" // It's a little more mature feeling than cute, but still evokes that sense of limitless adventure and exploration. If you write it in a cute font, it will still feel cute. I hope you pick it!
"Let it Bit" or "Bitventure" (Idea from Demon) "Bit Explorer", "Cube Adventure", "Spirit Explorer" or "Explorer Adventure"
- Cubic Adventures
- Cubic Legends
- Legends of Cubeworld
- Cubeworld Legends
Geometric Generation (GeoGen?)
How about, wait for it, Battlecubes
or
Tales of Cuberia.
Cuberia of course being the world name, though I have no idea if you actually named it.
Q^b ? (Q to the square of b, still pronounced Cube)
The Requiem's of Alea
Lost in Cubaria
I like BitVenture
