Q.U.B.E.

• ... that Q.U.B.E., an indie puzzle video game, was developed by Toxic Games without having a single programmer on its team?

• Great article, there are just a few very minor items. The last paragraph of the Gameplay section needs a citation. Also, a QPQ review is needed because the nominator already has >5 prior DYK credits. Everything else checks out, so this will pass once these two items are dealt with.

• Well, it's part of the plot of the game (for VGs if there's basically a game with no real plot, we don't break out a new section) and as its ending, it's not going to be sourceable except to anything but the game itself. --MASEM (t) 20:49, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

• You could cite the video game itself then; WP:VG/S#Video games appears to allow this if there are no available secondary sources. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 21:03, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

• The only problem is that there's no text to explain this. And per most parts about writing fiction, the work is generally implicitly considered a source for this. Technically, I can pinpoint the "chapter" of the game where this occurs in a cite template, but otherwise can't provide any quote for context.
• As for the QPQ, I've started Template:Did you know nominations/Death By Cube for my end. --MASEM (t) 17:33, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

• You don't need a quote, just the game info (title, publisher, etc.) and the chapter if you know it. MOS issues are not part of DYK review, so as long as it cites something that supports the paragraph it's fine. Also, sorry for not explaining what "QPQ" means, I guess I probably shouldn't have assumed that you knew already or that it would be obvious how to find out.

• I've added the cite vg for that part. And no problem on the QPQ, having to ask helped to improve the DYK process page since that is a requirement just not well stated. --MASEM (t) 17:48, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

• Great, good to go then. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 17:58, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
