Oh My Stars, There's Another One
Amid all the random craziness and angst that makes up my life these days, there's a steady drip of light in the form of brick-based role-playing-strategy-gamey-things.

The aptly named Cube World. No idea when it's coming out.
Fifteen months ago, I was looking forward to only two games - Mass Effect 3 (which EA managed to fuck up, though not irredeemably), and Torchlight II, which was pretty good, though I remember the first more fondly.
Since then, we've had a new XCOM game, EA has announced, launched, and irrevocably ruined SimCity - to the point where the major feature announced for The Sims 4 is that it will be single player - I've discovered KairoSoft, and Kickstarter has exploded onto the indie gaming landscape like a big bomb made of money. Starbound is on its way, and Terraria has been revivified. Kerbal Space Program is amazing, but requires more time than I have (which is zero) to really get anywhere. We've got four major new isometric party-based single-player role-playing games on the way, with the first (Shadowrun) due next month.
And now we have these voxel-based games like Stonehearth and Cube World which take a fascinating tack, using the absurd amounts of graphics power that we have at our disposal today (you can get 1.8 TFLOPS for less than $150) to make games that manage to look endearingly retro and fluid and engaging at the same time. I can't wait for them to come out so that I can not have time to play them either.
Oh, and here's the gameplay trailer for Stonehearth, without the talky bits.
Bunny!
