Stellaris Dev Diary ∛338: Rick the Cube

[Methone]

I will kill for Rick.

 

[Vorpaliminal]

Yeah sure, make it a new Machine portrait.

 

[Rafss]

Nothing will ever top the magnificent eggness of C6

 

[ashbery76]

Better quality than those latest added Humanoids.

E6 had potential but the expressions were too random.

If it was able to emote along with its dialog that would have actually been great.

look at me morty. i'm a cube. IM CUBE RICK.

 

[AngryHitsuji]

Could just import the borg ships from Infinite. Not like anyone is using those now.

This strikes me as the "jokey announcement" type of April Fool's day post not the "prank" type.

The more believable and scary prank would be announcing the addition of a new "cap" to any of the mechanics of the game, but they went the way of the obvious lighthearted joke instead. The problem with "cap" jokes is that sooner or later they do become reality, I remember joking in a post about the return of leader cap a few months before Paragons, and also a joke on vassals cap before they killed Shared Destiny; it's really scary.

Or an announcement that you now need to pay a subscription to keep your DLC purchases active.

That would be an exciting prank (for Crisis values of "exciting").

Judging from the Steam comments and on here (and probably Reddit too), looks like a good 90% of people are saying they want this in the game. What have you done @MrFreake_PDX

Oh no! Look what happened by accident

 

[Friedrich von Deutschland]

So will this be added as a mod or what? The assets seem to be ready.

 

[Al Davoodi]

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

i totally agree

 

[Cry_Havok]

Oh no! Look what happened by accident

Looks like my first machine age playthrough will be crusader cubes

 

[Lu Jo]

The April fool part is that they are actually going to do it. Please.

 

[TranscendentalDragon]

Calling it now, this was sneaky Machine Age portrait reveal.

 

[Oimes]

Oh no! Look what happened by accident

Ok, who in the studio didn't want to put CUBE in the game so you must smuggle it in as a joke?

 

[Soranya]

Yeay Aprils fools - how funny.
Can we have a regular Dev Diary plz?
