It has been officially announced (via the Indie Fund website) that Q.U.B.E. will be released on the 16th December 2011. Q.U.B.E. will be available on on Steam, Desura, and Playism. It will be sold for £9.99/$14.99/€10.99.
The release is significant for both Indie Fund and the Computer Games Design at the University of Wales, Newport. For the both Q.U.B.E. is their first game to get a full commercial release.
The game was developed by Dan Da Rocha, Jon Savery and Dave Hall, they built the prototype as part of their undergraduate degree program (graduating in 2009). Then continued to develop it into a full game after their graduation with the help of the Indie Fund.
An interesting fact about Q.U.B.E.‘s development is that it has been developed without a programmer! The guys have only used UDK (the Unreal Development Kit) and its scripting facilities.
As usual Q.U.B.E. is getting some great press… Joystiq, The Sixth Axis, IndieGames.com, The Witness.net, DIY Gamer, Develop Online & DIY Gamer Preview
You can also vote for Q.U.B.E to be IndieDB’s Indie of the Year 2011.
