![]() | A platform shooter originally made for LD48#25. The theme was "You are the Villain".
This is a two-player game. Player 1 controls a space trooper and Player 2 controls the enemy characters. If you'd like to play single player, just ignore P2 and the enemy A.I. will kick in. The goal is to reach the end of the level with the most gold -- with 2 players, take turns being the trooper and compare scores. |
Player 1 keys: S,D to move (or O,P in single player) X,C to jump and shoot (or Q,W) | Player 2 Keys: Cursors to move K to switch which group of monsters to control L to perform the monster’s attack |

Next week I'll also be adding a prototype of Swarm Racer 3000 -- but this will also be available to any existing Lexaloffle customers. So if that's you, and you're only interested in SR3K, all you have to do is wait! Click on the image for more information.

Voxatron 0.2.3 builds are now up, and will shortly be up on Humble Store (check the version number in the filename). If you don't have a lexaloffle account (Games > My Games) and would like one, see this thread.

This is a quick bug-fixing update. There is better compatibility with older BBS levels, the weird monster-controlling ASDW bug is fixed (aww!), and I've made some improvements to the editor file loading / saving scheme to reduce the chance of accidentally saving over files.
I also added a journaled backup for editor files. Any previous version of the file you save over will be appended to filename.bak. You can't easily do anything with the .bak files yet -- they're just for safety! In the future I'll add some simple tools for inspecting and restoring backups.

Today I was working on my level (That I have been working on for weeks), and then I exited. When I came back, I opened the level, it opened and just showed a Question Mark Box. That was it, everything else was gone. I tried to exit and come back, didn't work. I rebooted my computer, didn't work. The file is still in my folder, still has the picture on it, and still says when it was last modified, today. Please help. I need to get all that stuff back. This is my Indiana Jones Level (All of the 1st movie). Like I said, I have been working on this for weeks. I really, really need this back. Any Suggestions? :( >:(


Hi all, hi zep.
First at all, thank zep for this great game and thank for the editor, I bought your game for both :-]
The destructible environment is a great concept and its really used in the right way.
I modeled what will follow a few months ago.
I was really happy when I heard you're going develop an obj export.
Its not for playing, its just a voxel medieval scene :-)
I wanted to test the contrast between a "basic" voxel model and a photorealistic renderer.
I use Maxwell Render, a really powerfull unbiased renderer.

Okay first off, I just recently found and purchased Voxatron and it's f'n awesome. :) I love twinstick shooters and it's obvious that initial inspiration was Robotron (one of my all time faves) just looking at the title. Opening the engine for more in the future as well as the customization aspect is awesome (cause I like playing with voxels too).
Okay praise out of the way, two issues:
1.) The explosion sound of player death, BOOM! mines and barrels is cranked too high and distorts digitally in windows (not sure of other platforms). Even when you turn down the volumes (everything is actually about 30% louder than all other programs on my computer that generate audio) it still distorts so I'm thinking it's the internal mixing that's the culprit.
2.) What is the music format? I happen to know tracking and I remember running across the voxatron music showing it in tracker format...does it use BASS.DLL/support .xm/.it/.mod? If so, in the future will we be able to load our on music? There's actually a really AWESOME chip tracker called KlysTrack which does C64-ish chipsound generation and is really intuitive and fun to use (as far as trackers go) that I think if you asked nicely, you could add it to Voxatron for music support in the future. :)
Thanks!

Hi!
To help out with development, it's always good to report any bugs found.
To keep things productive, I'd like to suggest a format:
(Title)
(Date Found)(Build found)
(OS)(CPU)(Memory)
(Description)
(Steps)
(Screenshot/Video)
(Severity)
--- please make severity numeric (if you feel like adding it :) )
--- 1 = my game just shutdown / locked up
--- 2 = a feature (ex: jumping) stopped working, or is acting goofy
--- 3 = this just looks odd / typo
--- 4 = request
And if there are other factors that you think could help, please feel free to suggest / implement using them!

Hey All!
Voxatron 0.2.2 builds are now up, and will shortly be up on Humble Store.
If you don't have a lexaloffle account (Games > My Games) and would like one, see this thread.

v0.2.2
Added: Animation object type
Added: Object paint modes: solid, empty
Added: Camera-independent objects
Added: Resource tree with folders / Objects referenced by global id
Added: Undo/Redo resource structure operations
Added: Load/Save any branch of the resource tree (replaces vobs)
Added: Select multiple custom objects and delete/copy/cut/paste
Added: Crate (for testing physics -- not exposed yet)
Added: Wider side panels and extra palette slots for future expansion
Added: Model Data Exporters (obj, pov, txt, png)
Added: Water Test
This update contains new resource management, tools for making animated objects, and model data exporters. Not much of the new code is exposed yet, and over the coming months I'll trickle out new object types (pickups, doors, players, monsters, music) and roll out the new physics (throwable, stackable, pushable actors).

I'm attaching a screenshot of what I would like to have show up in-game but doesn't because there's disconnect between the voxels...
Is there a way to get diagonally adjacent voxels to be 'connected'?
Or am I required to model this differently? I wanted to have a walkway that can be walked under (along with the stairs).
edit: I'd also like a to feature request ability to change the properties of voxels regardless of their color and possibly their 'destructability'. I.E. number of shots/required power to do damage to the voxel as well as voxels that allow actors to pass through them but are affected by weapons/damage so you can create tall grass, for instance.

I'm curious about Voxatron's renderer, considering it's software-based and does full-on 3D representations of voxels, instead of the point-cloud type of representation. Is it just a basic scanline renderer and is being fed quads/triangles that make up the cubes, or is it some sort of raycasting algorithm?
I only ask because I'm trying to formulate a cross-platform renderer of my own, and Voxatron looks bloody amazing. I appreciate whatever I can get. :)
Thanks in advance!

Testing out the new exporters coming in 0.2.2. Voxatron currently supports .pov, .obj/.mtl, and .txt (raw data), and either the current voxde item or an in-game scene can be exported.
This scene was exported as a .pov and rendered in POV-Ray (click to bigify)
Next update coming on Monday! [ ^ _ ^]

It's that time again! If you're planning to take part in Ludum Dare 48 hour game dev event and are near Kichijoji/Tokyo, drop by Lexaloffle HQ (Pico Pico Cafe) with your laptop! The cafe will be open to the public until 23:00 as usual, but after that I'll also keep it open until 4:15am both nights for fellow LD night owls.
:: Ludum Dare 48 Hour Game Development Event
Join us for Ludum Dare #25! Ludum Dare is a 48 hour game development event that happens online all over the world. People take part either solo or in groups to make a whole game in just 48 hours, based on a theme that is provided at the start of the event. There are no prizes, except the sweet glory of making something and sharing it!
Hello,
I recently recieved a link to a key to download Voxatron. The page has a key to redeem and a box to enter an email address. However, when I hit "submit" I get an error saying "Fatal error: Call to undefined function addslashes0() in /home/lexaloff/public_html/redeem.php on line 35." How can I download this game?
Thanks!
