#Voxel Game

[litoticdev]

Hi! Re-learning how to Tumblr again like in the 90s. Here's a test I made yesterday for my solo project Archeocook (a narrative game about food and flavors in a solarpunk-inspired setting). It won't be the final view/angle I'll use for the game I think, but I wanted to play with proportions and such.

teardown is a fun game.

Wildlife on Planet 55e

Working on some more wildlife today as well, here's some Butterfly variants and fish species, notable the Sailfin, Bigjaw Salmon, and Glimmer Bass!

Here's some of what I made yester- er- three days ago? I don't even know time is a blur and a lie. Regardless, it's the Rock Lizard along with some WIP Fairy Bugs, a firefly-like creature which comes out at night in several hues- notably a yellowish warm glow or a cool blue currently. I'm also working on some bio-luminescent plankton for a similar effect in the depths of the oceans.

Updated the Globe (...Cube?) uhh Planet model- and the Orrery. Good morning by the way, everyone. Someone throw a monster or some coffee at me please.

NO FREAKING WAY!!!!

THIS IS THE GAME THAT STAMPY AND 4J STUDIOS WERE MAKING?!?! THIS LOOKS SICK!!

Something I've been working on. This is Aerollel, a game that I've been making for the past few weeks. It is essentially Minecraft mixed with Roblox and if it was released between 2005 and 2007.

Goanna post about deep rock galactic here, found the game a week ago and I absolutely love it!

Introducing Zepha

Hi, I'm Auri and I'm reinventing the wheel making a voxel game / engine. Recently I've managed to scrape together a really cool RGB voxel lighting algorithm so I'm going to make a post about it!

One thing that was really important to me when designing my game's lighting was that I wanted the static lighting to fit in with more fancy graphical effects. That means that Minecraft's lackluster diamond-shaped lighting wasn't going to cut it. I wanted spherical light and I wanted colors!

To accomplish this, I split the lighting into 6 channels. RGB for block light, and RGB for sky light. (technically there's 9 channels but that's too complicated to get into right now). I also store the direction that light comes from so that I can build a pseudo-sphere of light around the source.

To make things performant, I had to delve deep into micro-optimizations like Word Level Parallelism, which is a technique to do the same operation on multiple numbers packed into a single integer. The algorithm supports a huge dynamic range for colors and brightnesses, and operates in real time.

Any color can be used, and bright lights even overexpose. Lights can span chunks in radius!

If you're interested in the project, and want to see more, please join my Discord! I do weekly livestreams and I post updates often! Thanks for your interest ❤️❤️❤️

There's already a web-based version of an early prototype on itch.io. if anyone's curious to follow the development of Archeocook, a narrative game set in a solarpunk inspired world.

The overall pacing of this prototype is not what I have in mind for the whole game, but the epistolary format + a very basic puzzle game for balancing flavors are already there, and what I want to explore more in the coming months.

I'm hoping to make a 2-5h game, with several recipes and letters.

I often think about Ursula K. Le Guin's intro of The Left Hand of Darkness when I'm working on futuristic worlds. I've been wanting to make a game/write a story that's in the vein of what she described for quite some time.

I'll be sharing here casually about what solarpunk could mean to me, why I've been playfully using cooking and flavors as my main focus, my current experiments with Voxel Art/MagicaVoxel, Ink and Godot. I hope to write once a week, we'll see how it goes.

Thank you for playing and/or reading me!

I've also been working on a *lot* of new UI elements and mockups lately, here's a few of them! *(please ignore the aseprite font- it's not our actual font in game and looks kinda wonky on the mockups)

(Ignore the totally-normal-mannequin standing in in the place of the player model at the moment.)

Some WIP UI's (the last screen is the current state of the main menu and has our current menu/text font) -@recusantalchemist

Mossy Cat (WIP)

Looking for some feedback today, this cute lil guy is based on a Bobcat, which is known to have fluffy cheeks- but I think it may look better without them honestly. What do ya'll think?
