I don't want to dig to heavily into it but is it true that you've resigned from the Voxelnauts project?

Yup, I left the project back in late September.

I don’t know where it’ll go from here, but…I just want to remember it as it was.

See you Space Cowboy…

When you hear the story of a 12 year old boy who cleans out his cookie jar so that he can buy your game, it provides not only an incredible sense of joy - but also a sense of obligation in making the best game we possibly can.

Would a character like Salamandria be a single voxel model, or a couple combined through animation?

She’s broken up into 19 unique parts (some are mirrored or duplicated), and then attached together in animation so the joints can swivel and stuff.

Like this! Each of those white boxes is a smaller voxel model.

Here’s a render of Voxelnaut’s fire elemental, Salamandria! She was modeled in pieces in Qubicle Constructor and then put together in a custom program I wrote for making simple bone animations on voxels.

Part of the reason I like working with voxels is that it’s a lot more straightforward than modeling with polygons. The execution of adding or removing a voxel is simple, and you don’t have to deal with mapping textures to triangles. The barrier to entry is low! If you want to try it out yourself, there's a free voxel editor I’d recommend called MagicaVoxel.

Voxelnauts is a sandbox mmo currently in development; for more information, check out our Kickstarter!
