Along with Wizards of Yore, I'm looking at reusing some code I wrote a while ago to make a pseudo voxel based game - probably something to do with RPGs/Yore again but real time. Just started doing some experiments:  And a little editor I hacked up to create characters:  This isn't real voxels but gives a nice effect, IMO. Cheers, Kev |

AWESOME!
How did you do the shadows?

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Thanks for the feedback guys! The shadows are dynamically generated as part of the voxel map.
Cheers,
Kev

So you have height information stored inside those voxel images? Or did you simply generated them using the flat images? |

I too am interested in how those shadows are made. This all looks pretty nifty.

Well remember is pseudo voxels so there's only a fixed number of view angles possible. Each voxel space is rendered independently and the shadows are generated by search the world through the shadow angle. It's about as brute force as you get  Cheers, Kev |

Bit more work on the voxel stuff tonight, starting to add a world builder for laying out the voxel sprites:  Cheers, Kev |

Things look a little bit stretched at the moment. If you scaled the y-axis by then it might look better, or you may have to resize the z and y scales for the 'voxels' if that doesn't work. Other than that, this looks like quite a cool project. |

Yeah, can only move per voxel though I spose I could keep a sub-voxel position and convert it.
Looking at adding trees and other village stuff atm.
Cheers,

Years ago I made an engine a bit like this. It did have rotation to all angles. It is easy enough to do, just rotate all layers by the same angle and put them on top of each other. It looked rather cool, but the only sprites I had running were trees and tanks.

What kind of gameplay is planned? From the graphics style I could think of Realm of the mad god... Great game, even tough the constant losing items and dying somehow suck (even though this is the main gameplay...).  |

Still no idea - just playing with this while still working on Wizards of Yore.

Are you doing the mosaic effects with a shader or an actual tile image per "voxel"? Shader might be interesting, since you could do specular hilights to make the "bumpiness" more apparent depending on lighting conditions.

No, I meant scaling when rendering, not logic. Same logic, different rendering. Possibly like this: Y axis scaled to 1: Y axis scaled to sqrt(2)/2: |

Ah see what you mean now. Don't think so though, something desperately less appealing about the characters at the bottom to the ones at the top.
Cheers,

Added some brute force simple networking approach:  Can't imagine it'll scale to real life well but fun Cheers, Kev |

Your game looks amazing, fantastic art style. Very intrigued Are your rooms pre-made, or generated on the fly? |

They're designed by hand at the moment but I'm thinking I'm going to write (another) dungeon generator tonight. This will be the first I've written that needed the third dimension so quite looking forward to it Cheers, Kev |
