I made a thing. It's a game. it's on DotBigBang. It's a submission for a game jam they've been hosting. You can play it without an account or anything [Here]
One thing I want to note though is that, while the level design is my work, a lot of the components that make up my game world were provided by the devs or others in the community. That said I did create some of my own things for this game and shared said creations with the larger DotBigBang community as well.
I found out DotBigBang quite some time ago from an ad on facebook. I've been since keeping an eye on it because it reminded me of a time when Roblox was.... more fun (to me), and had less child labor exploitation. Early December DotBigBang announced a Winter Obby Jam and I felt compelled to participate since I use to love playing obby's on Roblox as a kid.
Lastly allow me to share some thoughts on DotBigBang's editors and my experience in creating. 1) Their voxel editor has a forced render lighting that made it impossible for me to distinguish different shades of white as the "light" shining down on it made it too bright. 2) DBB allows you to "Remix" (edit) someone else's object and make it your own (provided said someone enabled remixing). I remixed an object to find out it's voxel size as it was around the same scale of something I wanted to make and now that remixed object was mine forever I could not delete it off my profile, I could unpublish it so only I saw it, but that was still gonna bother me. Ultimately, I made the most of it and made an object that was very different but spiritually similar. 3) The voxel and game editor are in browser which is great because its all saved online and in the middle of this my computer had went through some changes and troubles, but also while using said editors there were several instances where I managed to keyboard shortcut my way into opening new tabs and google searching, so that part was less ideal. 4) There is no autosave, which kind of makes sense since currently this whole process is all online and there is only one save instance so it be quite annoying for an autosave to kick in on things you were just messing around with, but man it always made those times where I'd accidentally open up like a new window scary like, did I just lose all my work?? But no it was all good.
