Game looks bananas.
No playable just yet, demo later in the year.
I expect this may get moved to off-topic, but it seems right to post it here.

Re: Voxatron - new voxel-based Robotron-like
Looks awesome. I love Robotron and Bangai-O. Geo Wars is alright, but doesn't do anything new or interesting. It's just eye candy compared to the creativity of Bangai-O. Voxatron looks like it has some interesting ideas and concepts. Might be a step forward rather than a rehash with purdy graforks
I love the twist and shoot genre (my terminology) in all of its forms from Ikari Warriors to Zero Gunner 2, but it doesn't get as much love as normal bullet hell games.

That's so Raiden

Pity, I was hoping they would finish that peacock garden arena shmup, expanding the Atomhex idea even further.
Two working class dudes, one black one white, just baked a tray of ten cookies together.
An oligarch walks in and grabs nine cookies for himself.
Then he says to the white dude "Watch out for that black dude, he wants a piece of your cookie!"

Re: Voxatron - new voxel-based Robotron-like
I'm sure they will, they often seem to have a lot of different stuff stewing at once. I visited their studio aaages ago while they were making Jasper's Journeys and saw an early version of the voxel engine running, must have been close to half a decade ago now. Also saw an early version of Swarm Racer, which if iirc correctly was more about moving a segmented snake (a bit like Syvalion).Mischief Maker wrote:Pity, I was hoping they would finish that peacock garden arena shmup, expanding the Atomhex idea even further.

THX for bringing this game to light Drum as it looks really cool, Jaspers Journey one of the devs earlier games seems intresting aswell. I hope i can buy it at gamers gate or something simlar as i dont know how secure the site is for making online transactions. (security metrics, credit card safe? never heard of it)
I like the voxel engine, and i find it suprising that its so good for blocky 3d graphics as my only expeience of voxels would be with that classic fps series delta force or was it delta warrior and the blocky 2d grass it has which looked really good as pc wernt fast enough to render a field of grass using convention programming.
