I’ve Overhauled the Building System in my Voxel Game 

Wishlist Lay of the Land on Steam :) store.steampowered.com/app/2776090 Support development and play the game early: www.patreon.com/Tooley1998

There should be a feature that lets you change the snap to grid size, cant wait to mess around with this!

Oh god! That's the way I always wanted to build in Minecraft. If everything Minecraft offers comes in THIS game with THIS building system and THESE visuals, THIS will be the better Minecraft

I love how fluid it feels. The power of being able to do anything. Any shapes. Fast and flexible. And the visuals are great.

there's just so much that feels *right* about this building system. you can build stuff in basically any way you want, including that original minecraft style if you just use cubes, but you can go into far greater detail with this as well

You should add Oculus Quest 2 VR support. It'd be AWESOME to see this in VR

This is such a cool project, holy crud! I’m delighted to see you still working on it

damn amazing idea: make the door placeable like with the drag motion like the roof at 2:46 this way u wouldn't have to make the hole for the door perfectly sized before und could make any sized door. the details of the door like the window and shit could be procedurally added.

This building is so intuitive and voxels look so nice with this lighting you’ve created. unique but also calls to mind a more immersive MagicaVoxel where you can listen to the birds chirp and build to your hearts content lol

really awesome! I havent seen many games that allow this level of detail in building. Cant wait to see what the community does with the tools you've provided

Awesome stuff, literally only thing I can point out is a bit of Zfighting when the door opens but that's a minor thing. The building capabilities remind me of a minecraft mod called ''Chisel n' Bits''. You can check it out if you want some inspiration for different building modes because they have an insane amount of ways to build using voxels. Either way, great stuff!

Have you considered something like a "snap to node" setting? Something that would let you place a cubic volume of different sizes that snaps to the node in the center of previously placed volume. I guess there would be a different center (node location) if the dimensions of a give cubic volume are multiples of 2's or 3's. Fantastic game, can't wait to see more!

wow! definitely a lot better than what it used to be! cant wait to see what ppl will do with this. the only thing i would probably add is paintbrushes to paint voxels different colors if u wanted.

I think you could use a system to identify what an item is and then the game will check if the item meets requirements. Like say a collection of voxels is a table, or a bed, or a cookpot and the game will check if that collection of voxels meets the requirements and if so then it will gain the capabilities of the object. As a minecraft example- calling something a bed could require a certain number of "soft" voxels on top. A campfire might have a certain number of "hot" pixels. Could could also build them up out of primitives' (a container, a heating element) and then combine them with any styling you wanted and save that as an oven/furnace. Then a way to export a collection of voxels as an object that can be crafted easier (and be shared with other players).

i feel like this should be an alternative to the default style of building. maybe you need a special tool to build like this. something like a saw, or a hammer

THIS IS AMAZING! Def a great approach, loving your progress on the game so far

I think different modes would be good for different players, down the line one i'd love to see is where there are mobs you gotta defend yourself from. As in a good reason why you *need* to have a base to protect yourself from, maybe just/mainly at night, and base defence is important too, or else they could break in. This just feels so immersive, it feels like it could suit that really well!

You should add some sound cues when adjusting the build outline, like a little ticking sound every time its size increases.

Finally, chisels and bits: the game.

This is great for small-scale stuff, but building anything large looks like hell. I would misplace every 12th pillar by a voxel every time. There really needs to be some sort of large grid or repeatable measurement system for the broad strokes.

Can't wait for 5 years from now where I'm playing an advanced tech tree questing modpack in this game

Wow, looks really good! I just stumbled upon this on my recommended, and I am glad I clicked.

I cant wait for this game to be released!!

This is really cool, way better than Minecraft physics, cant wait to play this whether its free or paid. Keep up the good work mate!

Very nice footstep sounds.

wow... hard to make from scratch, This is basically just the chisels and bits mod in minecraft, but with on block-break animations, and a bit-world... nice work! :D speaking of, ive been spending hours on end with that mod recently... and its time to get back to it :o

YOOO congrats on 1k subs

Great stuff. Some polish to make the process of laying out where things will be placed, making that a bit more streamlined and easy, would be good I think. The inventory's a bit noisy as well. Super cool though.

You can combine both methods, this for quick construction and the previous one for finer details. As a player, you can make templates that use the voxels you want, and you can build things like that with a template from the game, like the one in the first video. Maybe there should be an easy way to count how many voxels are used

this is fucking amazing!!! i love what you're doing so much!!

Gives me almost a terraria vibe as well as Minecraft. Really cool keep up the great work. Can't wait till it's available for download.

Congratz on 1k Subs! Can't wait for an Update!

I cant wait to build stuff in this game

I love a pixel perfect building system! However with the door there was some zindex fighting so make sure to fix that. Cant wait to play this

Hey man this is really really cool!

I really like this!! Keep up the amazing work!

It is high timeDude, you decided to compete with minecraft? It high time :D But seriously, I wanted to ask, are you going to make it possible to create custom interactive objects like trapdoors and doors that you can create yourself using voxels, but at the same time they are functional? And do you plan to use sprites?

Very impressive work, looking forward for more updates

For how long have you been working on this voxel game? And which languages / frameworks / rendering api's are you using?

Wonderfully done

The inventory looks cool

how can world formation be with such small voxels?

maybe add custom block templates? For example, the player will create a template of steps, so as not to spend eternity building it all

It'd be cool to have tools for organic builds/terraforming similar to Minecraft's VoxelSniper or to sculpting programs like ZBrush.

this certainly deserves a like!👍

There should be a way to build large parts individually beforehand and place them after.

You should add presets. So someone (who's as lazy as me) won't need to design everything on it's own, and can just build out of already existing walls/corners/windows/roofs/floors

this seems like it would be a nightmare to try and build anything even remotely sizable

you should take a look at Rising World

Omg i want to play this so bad

Hello! Are u using mesh generation for ur voxels, or it's GPU ray tracing?

now add a combat system like in mordhau

I Want this Game 😩

Actually goated

Yess. Why not ✅

This weirdly reminds me of Paralives idk why

Do you code yourself or use the Voxel Plugin Pro?

this is beautiful

very nice.

Will there be guns in this game?

Okay that's insane 😂

How can I play it?

Minecraft on steroids.

Are there any articles or website that helped you create the voxels in unity that you can share. I have wanted to build a voxel game but can't seem to find things that help me understand.

In the automatic categories that RU-vid puts things, it puts this as Minecraft. This isn't Minecraft! What are you going to call your project? Surely not "Voxel Game" as your videos seem to call it.

imma just say it, that house looks ass. but everything else is really damn amazing!

Keep it 😃 but i want to play

Dude

You made all this on your own? And yet it takes mojang months to add one stupid feature to minecraft.

So when can I give you my money?

This is so cool
