New cube designs: Direction Cube

[jamol]

I created this thread to showcase new cubes that I designed. They are virtual cubes, and some of them were made and weren't used or showcased. I will try to update as I make new ones or when I find older ones. Here are nature themed cubes: Diamond 2x2, Rose Cube 2x2, Mirror Sky 2x2:

And when I made Space Pack, some of cubes were not added. Here are some of them (there are more and I will add them later):

Virtual cubes are great because I don't have any physical or construction limitations, so more and different cubes can be designed(also shaders can be used). If you have any feedback or questions, please share them.

Wow those are impressive designs, I’d love to see all of those become mass produced!

the diamond one would be pretty neat to see a physical copy of!

Thank you. I will release on the app first then can think about how to make a prototype or something. I guess I need help from someone who already made real cubes or at least prototypes. I think hard part will be internal mechanism of the cube, I've never done that. For diamond cube I need to find some material that can give diamond look, rose can be 3D printed. But Sky mirror cube looks different from each angle so I don't know if it's possible. Just putting image works but won't look like inside the game.

Yes, it would be cool. But making a virtual one is way more easier and can be distributed easily. I might try to make a prototype, but don't know

I made a new cube called Direction cube. Direction arrow inside a cubie shows where a cubie should go. Cubies don't have orientation. And when a cubie is in correct position it fills with a cube and the arrow disappears. What do you think about this cube? Something like this has been made before or is it a new cube?
