Stellaris Dev Diary ∛338: Rick the Cube

[Heretic-Slayer]

I know it's April first, but I really want that portrait in the game hehehe

 

[Silens]

Almost any species in Stellaris is humanoid in form. Having something that departs from that, offering something entirely non-humanoid, is a godsent.

And that's the risk you're always running with April fools jokes, if the idea is too cool, people will expect you make the thing in earnest.

So, have fun making the Cuboid Species Pack lol

I mean... It's really cool ngl. Please Make this official.

 

[.NoWay.]

If only were actually true...

 

[DontMakeMeLactate]

Oh man i've really taken a shine to this cube. I'll name mine Herman.

 

[Mythox]

You just gave me a great idea, why not making stabbing personalities in espionage ?

 

[Foxosaur]

Jeff made it, so can the cube!

 

[Lord Milutin]

All hail Rick the Cube!!!
You will know his power!

 

[Spy01]

Please put it on steam workshop

 

[Ker0]

Gimme gimme gimme

 

[Oimes]

Despite everything I still want Rick in my game.
Rick looks really good and I wouldn't want him to remain a joke.

 

[G S Palmer]

This better be the new C6.

 

[prismaticmarcus]

It's totally not giving me Hellraiser vibes...

...And my comment shouldn't give any devs any inspiration for any future content...

 

[Farbros]

Just when I looked at the portrait, I immediately thought "Guys, do you understand, that now you will have to actually put that in the game?" that would probably be the first comment. And I was totally right about that. Hope to see it in the TMA.

 

[Haenrith]

It will be sorely disappointing if Rick the Cube doesn't join the lineup of new machine portraits as part of The Machine Age update. With a higher level of animation quality and color variety than many in-game species portraits currently have, Rick is sure to be a crowdpleaser.

will never give you up

I clicked this link for science, and in a complete subversion of expectations, it’s actually NOT a rickroll!
We’ve truly transcended to a whole other level, tricking you into thinking it’s a rickroll, but it’s actually not.

 

[Dr_Gentech]

This cube portrait would unironically be a good species portrait please. Thank you devs!

Oh wow, that was not what I was expecting from the devs. The old double bluff.

Now we know who the new end-game crisis is.
