Stellaris Dev Diary ∛338: Rick the Cube

Hello Stellaris Cube-munity!

I know today wasn't in the dev diary cube-endar we posted earlier, but I felt like today was a special day.

In the finest of traditions of Stellaris cubeture, we are happy to introduce a new character portrait: Rick the Cube!

Cube Rick will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak

Rick the Cube will be available Soon™ for purchasers of an unannounced future Stellaris DLC bundle (and also subscribers). We will be revealing more about this DLC bundle in the near future!

I am Rick the Cube!

Features:
  • Somehow contains more than Eight vertices
  • Six faces
  • a cube to take a shining to
  • a pleasing clockwork interior that is, at times, orangeish
  • definitely not a Human, cubed
  • not a sphere
  • will never give you up

For those of you who find the Stellaris portraits too anthropomorphized, we hope you will enjoy this new addition to the Stellaris portraits lineup! Encased in rune-covered cube armor, a sort of fully surrounding jacket made of metal, Cube Rick will be an excellent companion to take on a space odyssey.

As a card-carrying member of these people, I really, really do like this. Please add it.


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

I'm going to name mine Stanley. Stanley Cube Rick.

This is very consistent with the general art style of the game. Please implement this in TMA, it would be a great machine portrait, a machine not trying to look like a humanoid but be it's own thing

You post this on April first, and we assume you are joking. But maybe the joke is that it is not a joke, but you are serious about this add on, and just trying to make us think it is a joke, to make the real joke of it not being a joke. Savvy?

FREEEEEM!
 
This cube looks totally non-threatening and I bet that it is, in fact, NOT a Shroud machine that aims to subsume our souls into its core processors to feed its diabolical anti-existence algorithm. No sir, I sense no danger whatsoever here.
