The Bunny, my Roomate

 

So there I was running through the woods like a crazed fool. No armor, no weapons. 

In Planet of Cubes Multiplayer, you die quick. 

But I was lucky this night, coming across a few safe spaces for the lack of  better words. As I dove into one I came across this little guy. He gave me the oddest look like, "you really shouldn't be out here dude." And he was right. 

This is when i realized that I could survive in the live area - just build a few of these blocks and wait the night out. I'm sure people have been doing this for years anyway, especially those Minecraft veterans, however, I'm late to the dance you could say. This didn't last long - I fell down a hole, ended up outside the safe space, and was killed by a giant spider. I don't know if he got the bunny, but it was a funny surprise. 

Dinosaur Park at Avatar Island

 I had not visited Avatar Island in a few months, so I thought it would be cool to stop by (and take a break from being killed in Survival Multiplayer). Planet of Cubes users and servers never fail to surprise me. If you were wondering, yes. That's someone being attacked by dinosaurs. Not just any dinosaurs, but Velociraptors. Yes. Velociraptors.

And as you can see, they're getting it in when it comes to attacking this poor soul. This is different from the many structures I saw on Avatar Island in the past. I was shocked and yet laughing at the whole ordeal because you could tell the guy wasn't hugging the dino but getting owned by one. Now because this was somewhat outside the spawn chunk zone, I cannot tell you if this was a user creation or a server production. However, when you're cruising through Avatar Island on Planet of Cubes, this is one structure you should stop and take a look at - it really sticks out.

I know many Planet of Cubes users are all in when it comes to Survival Multiplayer, but be sure to stop back past the Creative side of the house so you can check out these structures. This creation was near a History Museum and a place with a deer head. I'll check that out more and get back to you on my findings.

Naked and Afraid: Don't enter the Survival area without gear!

Planet of Cubes players have probably figured out that you shouldn't enter the wiles of the Survival area without arming yourself.  And then there's me - a guy that's always trying stuff out and wondering what it's not working out for me. haha.

In my defense I had a fairly decent plan. I was going to head out to the Survival area, mine a little bit, and get back into the safe zone before the sun went down. However wasn't the case because I fell into a dark hole. By time I got back up to the top, the Sun had set. It was dark.

Here come the spiders!

Before I knew it, I was racing around trying to simply hide and stay alive. I had no weapon other than a wooden ax. No armor, nothing. Just out there in the woods feeling like a helpless deer.

And that's when I saw her.  Her blonde hair from a distance made me think, "Hey, maybe she'll help me." No. That was wrong, very wrong. She watched me. Just just kept turning in my direction, observing every move. As I eluded the spider she approached me, and began to attack! I did wonder however why she was out there in the first place. It was a very creepy feeling - knowing that some Planet of Cubes players are only out there to kill ignorant "Naked and Afraid" guys like myself who know better.

I learned some things after being stabbed in the back - literally: Watch the bulky areas, GET GEAR, and don't think alliances are that simple. A hunter is a hunter.  Planet of Cubes Multiplayer Survival will be an growing and learning experience.

May the odds forever be in your favor!

Survival Multiplayer in full swing: Majority good reviews

Planet of Cubes players have shown in their reviews the majority of players are pleased with what they've seen. With the additional features of online survival multiplayer now in effect, players can do what millions of minecraft users have done for years - just better.

For starters, there isn't the fight for servers, and the 1,000 plus rules when you get there. There is only one world to play on, and one way to get there - through the planet of cubes app, available to Google and IOS users.

I think for many people, including myself, the wait was well worth it. Even though I haven't been on there lately (I will be visiting tonight as I crank back up my blogging), going by what I've seen thus far, there's no reason not to visit the planet of cubes now. Everything has been answered, give or take a few bugs.  Here are some of the reviews coming in on the Google Play Store:

Alex Jacklin August 19, 2016

I love it! I also like the idea of the renting. I think it's pretty cool. But I think in some people's minds they are thinking this game should have a single player mode where you don't need to rent. Please consider this and I'm hoping you make my dream come true! Thank you!

Wen I pres survivel mod I'm in it and then a ad shows up and wen I pres x to not see video it just puts me to main menu pleas fix this problem even wen I see the whole video it brings me to main menu pleas fix this in crietev mod dos not do that. Pleas will you do that? But I'll wish I can put 10 stars ;-) 

A lot of the reviews POC has already adressed, with most of them basically not understanding how to play the game. Many in my opinion just haven't taken the time to read everything ( or goto the site). But overall, so far so good on everything! 

Planet of Cubes: Multi Craft now free on Apple Store!

According to reports, Planet of Cubes : Multi Craft is now on Apple Itunes Store.   Join the millions of other players that area already staking their claims!

According to their website, "You are welcome to download the game for free from Apple App Store! And join the community of millions players online to build together or alone on the infinite world! Explore and discover the beauty of the cubic Planet! Make new friends from all over the world, using chat!

For PoC players who have different devices, this will be a welcome addition to all the other changes that have taken place - most notably the multiplayer survival mode (which is awesome by the way). However, those who wish to still play outside that mode can - you can choose from the menu!

Either way don't miss out!

Survival Multiplayer Review: All you've expected

Planet of Cubes released their Survivor Multiplayer and if you haven't checked it out, you're missing out! Now you're not going to find this version on Google Play (already looked), but no worries, you can download it from Amazon Underground. Download the app and honestly, it's very easy to do. After installation the real fun starts.

Like most apps nowadays, the Planet of Cubes Survival Multiplayer Game creators wants to make sure you know what you're doing so you'll go through a 10-step quick process of learning how to build certain things and that's ok. 

Once you're inside, the party is going on - The one thing I've noticed more than any other feature in the game is that people are sticking together a wholllle lot more. I think the fact that Planet of Cubes is now Survival Multiplayer, people are beginning to form alliances and such. There's nothing wrong with that - make more friends that way! 

However, life beyond the Spawn Zone is a little different than what you're used to: Very rigid when you're looking from the Spawn Zone. I haven't ventured that far out yet, but when I do I will post pictures. In addition, I haven't found a map, which leads me to wonder if the Planet of Cubes Survival Multiplayer even has a map. Otherwise, if you've been looking for a decent Minecraft alternative, you've finally got one.

Survivor Multiplayer is here!

Planet of Cubes players should have heard by now the big news - Survival Multiplayer is out on Amazon! Isn't that cool? We're very close to having one of the top requests by POC players fulfilled. This, in addition to the renting chunks feature will make the  Planet of Cubes more than just popular, but an epic game for the ages!
 

I know you've been wondering where I've been - well, between my job and the military, I can stay quite busy. However, I do plan to be back online very soon taking shots of the cities and meeting up with people like yourself! So keep building and I'll keep touring!

24 hour Travelbug!

It's back! Log into Planet of Cubes and find this week's travel bug! The block will  e go.d with a scarab on it.

Rent Chunks now! Latest version on Apple Store

Finally!

If you were one of the many who got tired of your stuff being destroyed in Planet of Cubes, that day is finally OVER.

According to their website, the Planet of Cubes is now equipped with the ability to rent chunks. This is a request that has been made by many players over the past few months.

Here's a statement from the site: 

"We are proud to announce that Planet of Cubes updated to v2.1 on Apple App Store! Huge long-awaited update with areas (CHUNKS) Rentals - now ready to use in the game! In this update: chunk rentals, Russian localization, better navigation and HUD highlighting, better chat, new skins and many more...Only you can build on your own chunks – but watch out your chunk rentals expiration! Once your rental is expired someone else can rent it and lock you out from modifying."

This is an awesome chance for players who left because of griefing to come back and re-imagine the game one more time. I'm sure now the popularity for this game is going to skyrocket.  With no worries about multiple servers and stuff that complicates other block games, Planet of Cubes is moving in the right direction. Stay tuned as I will be in-game reporting how people respond to the good news! Rent chunks and create some fantastic buildings!
