GN Version 5.0

The following info comes from the game’s director, Mr. Shoji...

– Cube Creator DX is an upgraded version of Cube Creator 3D adding a multiplayer mode, online functionality and a stage builder mode.
– The number of usable cubes have increased by about 2 times, plus he’s increased the number of monsters and there are now 10 kinds of worlds.
– In Cube Creator 3D there was a scary monster replaced with a cute monster with a cube design changed as young girls wanted to make it cute and friendly.
– There are 370,000 customers who bought the original which sells for 800 yen on the 3DS eShop.
– Arc System Works are known for fighting games, but there are only a limited number of customers so it is necessary to put out various genres of games such as this kind of casual, cute game.
– Nintendo 3DS has many children players and a lot of late teens like PlayStation 4 so chose 3DS due to the content of the game. Wii U was considered but decided on the same platform as the original.
– 10 people in all worked on Cube Creator DX with only about 4 people really working full-time on it. Making the deadline was a terrible task. The game began work last September and took about six months.
– Compared with other games and so on the production cost is not so much. The previous work was cheap and this time it is a little higher so at least 50,000 sales are wanted but 100,000 is a dream.
– There is a popular game that is similar that is made by an American company. Cube Creator definitely references Minecraft but wants to add original elements and be the Japanese version (of Minecraft).
– I personally do not want to end the series with DX, I want to make a new one. I’d like to put out new modes and so on. I’d like you to play another Cube Creator again.
– I am still considering it (a Nintendo Switch version), but can you wait for a moment?!
