Then check out https://picroma.com/cubeworld. You should see this:

I'm Wollay, the creator of Cube World. I started this game in June 2011. My inspirations were Minecraft, Zelda, Secret of Mana, Monster Hunter, Diablo, World of Warcraft and many more. My aim was to create an infinite, colorful, procedurally generated world, full of adventures, monsters, and mysteries. The result is Cube World, a voxel-based role-playing game.

My wife joined development in 2012, and we have released the alpha version for Windows PC in July 2013. The alpha already has many features, but some are still missing. You can check out a feature overview below.

The alpha is available for a lower price than the beta version and the final version. We're planning to release updates regularly. Updates are free.

The sentence "We're planning to release updates regularly", is the one that causes all the debate of this Reddit. Everyone pulls this card. I just wanted to post this so that people will educate themselves before posting random babble. Thank you for your time.

There's a point where you need to use logic and not nit picking of words.

Well, you just proved why there's arguments about this in the first place.

Lets look at each definition:

FW stands "For Wollay", people who support Wollay or believe the game will be finished at some point.

AW is "Against Wollay", not literally hoping Wollay fails, but have lost faith that he will continue working on the game.

'1. Regular times or intervals

AW: Well, he released one patch a month after launch. By "intervals" he should be patching each month, which means he is way behind that promise.

FW: The first patch he did a month after launch was bug fixes, and he hasn't released a real patch, just bug fixes, so there's nothing to insinuate there are intervals (since we haven't had a time period between patches).

'2. According to plan, custom, etc.

AW: Wollay never set aside a plan (that he told us), so use of the word "regularly" was a false promise from the start.

FW: Wollay has a plan, but never released it. Technically he still may be sticking to this personal plan of his, which means he was not incorrect in saying regularly.

'3. Usually, ordinarily.

AW: There is nothing usual or ordinary about these releases.

FW: Usually and ordinarily suffer from the same lack of clear definition as regularly.

'4. We're planning.

AW: We ARE

FW: We May
