so I know most of us are just waiting (for a long time by now) for the 0.2.10 (which is a number that kinda feels strange for me) but I want to do something while zep works on volumetric lightning, two player and things like that.

so I have a proposal: let's do a jam!

why jam? because we want that update so we can make our wonderful ideas true!

as a deadline, what about march 26?
do you think that this much time is enough to make a level until then?

as a theme, I would like it to have space to a wide range of ideas so my suggestion is:

three words

it can be any word! if you're lacking on ideas to do so you can always use the random word generator.

this is not a contest, no one is to be judged, but it would be nice if we showed zep how much we wanted voxatron to become complete. would you participate in this jam?

Disclaimer: this feature is still in R&D, highly experimental and might not make it into the alpha anytime soon. But for your viewing pleasure, here's what Voxatron looks like with a volumetric light attached to the player. I really want a scene in the main story cart (1.0) that has the main character walking through a forest at night with a lantern, with snow catching the light as it falls into view. I tried making a quick mock-up using a brute-force method and it turned out to be fast enough to be interactive, but not yet useable.

Technical explanation:
This new lighting model is made possible by the way I'm calculating shadows. Instead of generating a traditional 2D shadow map, I instead generate a 3D 1-bit volume, where each set bit represents a fully lit voxel. The volume is then sampled while drawing voxels to give soft shadows. To do rough attenuation using 1-bit values, I dither the maximum light distance based on xyz (and t for flickery torch-style light), and then let the sampling take care of producing a smoother version. I still kind of like the 1-bit version though for large simple geometric shapes.

Hello everyone I know the forum is dead I wanna try soething to bring it back to life.

So here's how it works, veryone can play:

The winner of each weeks give the subject for the next week, a subject can't be repeated twice.

Goal: make a boss with the boss topic given by the winner !

Winner are chosen by the community at the end of the week.

Here's how voting works:

-You cannot vote for your own creation.
-You MUST vote at the end of the week ( friday )
-no submition are allowed friday.
-You vote for 2 boss, 1 will get 2 points the other 1 ( make sure you state who gets 1 and 2 points )

SO to start off the subject for this week is: Tree ! ( it can be a seed / tree )

To enter, you have to make a Single room containing a Single enemy ( A boss mainly ).

Judges are everyone. ( Even yourself ).

You must also say WHY you gave this mark. ( SO that way we know you aren't giving low mark for no reasons )

Here are the critera:

-Originality. ( 5 ladder scale ) PS: attack style etc.. THE LOOK
-Difficulty ( 5 ladder scale ) PS: a too easy or too hard boss = bad score.
-Pattern ( 5 ladder scale ) PS: a repeated pattern boss is VERY annoying .
-Movement ( 5 ladder scale ) If your boss have fast attack without warning or some annoying movements ( attack ) this makes him lose points here.

Top5:
-Nautilus. 70%
-Miniature Photon Unit 53%

So, I bought Voxatron [right after the humble bundle ended] from the page. I downloaded it no problem. But then, I go to re-download it a while after since my computer's drive was wiped, and it's gone. Checked the e-mail I purchased it with. Gone, Nowhere, nothing's there at all. Why? I don't know. Someone please help. [The game has been gone for at least a year or two now]

Ok so there's this modifier event called Button and then there's also Legacy, I try to create an enemy that will " Dodge " the player bullet when he shoots ( Just put a better speed like fro 0.8 to 1.8 and wander modifier for about 200 tics and a 500 tics cooldown ) but non of those seems to work ???

I tried all of them:

Legacy: Shoot L
Legacy Shoot R
Button: Shoot
Button: Shoot:Any

Helpzzzz please ? It's rare I ask help but heh if someone figure out !

Driftwood is a seafaring adventure that will take you across the great ocean and
through numerous islands to find the source of the tsunami that destroyed your village.

Planned features include lots of adorable character animations, a wave generator, and a rudimentary sea map!

It's a big project that'll require at least 0.2.10, so it'll take a lot of time, but
I'll work hard to make an excellent game.

P.S. Can someone confirm that the Kanji say "driftwood"?

nevermind

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

Is a gramatically correct sentence.

OMG THERS A BLOG I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A BLOG I MEAN WTF BUT I HATE SOCIAL MEDIA

Hi, this thread is to honor some of the greatest map here, on voxatron in some categories. Everyone can participate. Post your level or just name it. If you think there's a better level somewhere else, let me know, I dont know every m user created stuff !

PS: all levels listed here contains custom monster / character. ( It means that previous version level wont be counted )

How it works:

Getting 10/10 is impossible, as it would be PERFECT. Even getting 8 is pretty rare ( It's a proffesional point of vue here )
Your posted maps need to have atleast Total of 16 points or more to be featured here. OR have 8+ points in 1 category

Gold First.
Silver Second.
Bronze Third.

[box=FF69B4]First case: Gameplay. ( How fun was it )
Second case: Graphics
Third case: Storyline. ( How the story is )
Last case: Creativity. ( Mobs are counted here. )

Why you choosed lua over C or java ?
Is there some other people working with you for voxatron ?
How long have you been working on voxatron ?
How old are you ? What study have you made ?
I am studying in programming: second year. My teacher dumb She gives us paper exams. You think its dumb ?

A little more forum spam for today! But it's a fun one. Made a neat little poster promoting Metal Gear Voxel using POV-Ray to render. You guys should create some for your levels, too!

Credit to Konami for the character and typeface, of course.

I'm in a little jam, I have 2 games in mind.
But of course I will do only 1 of the 2, want to know what game you want.
Deshn Adventures: origin, or Deshn Adventures 5: The traveler Time.
the first game tells the story of Deshn and the second one of his adventures

Hello people from vosatron comunity! I need your help -

So I made this little game on the arcade game studio engine (because voxatron is not an engine yet T-T) for the new year's weekend jam on gamejolt and I need feedback.

In a nutshell, I need you guys to play tha game and comment, what was bad, what was good, so I can concentrate on it on other projects (this one is finished so I won't change anything more than a few numbers).

I'm counting on you people! happy new year's!

merry xmas from paraparaumu new zealand!!!

Ok how to start?... ok i tinked a rpg map, but i need a very big help because i want to he have open world, but whiout the screen cut, and multiplayer i go need a strong help, and zep you can help too?...

zep, I was building a reformulation of Metal Slug
When I had a surprise that left me scared.
When I was testing the game he caught.
Well this is quite common for me but if it were only so ...
I realized that while trying to shut down the game, the sound seemed a scream,
tried unplugging unhelpfully after a went to the source of pc time and I hung up, but ...
the sound did not stop.
'm going away for a week after that I come back, I'm not kidding attention moreover I took a picture of the screen,
here it is, the image was blurred and then went on a progam and it came out:

Someday voxatron can be played with the video game control?
Furthermore it would be very interesting if the voxatron possessed a cursor for easier shoot at enemies
