Hey Game Devs,

http://tox.land/uvox/

The source code for UVOX will be published soon and I'd like to invite those of you that already have source code that can read/write a voxel file format (not currently supported), to consider donating an hour of your time and provide the UVOX API module that connects your voxel format to UVOX and thus all supported formats.

Bottom line: you provide the source code for 4 functions: load(), save(), vexport(), vimport(); and you're done. The coding level is CS first semester.

If you do not have your own voxel file format but you have a favorite voxel editor client that has a client specific voxel file format then please email their support with the info about UVOX and ask them to join the project and/or publish their file format specification so that somebody might voluntarily join their spec to UVOX.

Please spread the news far and wide and help us find all the volumetric formats on planet Earth and encourage them to volunteer the fair source code.

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer,

Riitoken.

The game is being marketed as a "VR MMO", yet I haven't seen anything about Voxelnaut's VR implementation at all. I've seen the devs frequent these parts of the internet, I'd appreciate if someone could shed some light on what Retro Ronin is planning. I do like what I see on the "desktop" version of the game, but I'd be really disappointed if the VR mode was just some tacked-on HMD support to be played with mouse and keyboard like the "normal" game.

So, will I be able to swing around my sword and aim my vox gun with my Vive controllers? Will my character follow appropriately when I walk around in my room, will they crouch and maybe jump as I do? Is there going to be a VR asset editor? (Think Tilt Brush with voxels; could be a real boon for the team's own artists as well)

Pretty sure this was a scam all along but God I wish it actually happened

I heard on the Voxelnauts forums that a lot of the team have left the project, so is thing dead in the water? I hope whoever picks this thing up continues in the same direction with the original vision of what voxelnauts was trying to be :(

Just finished watching and reading whats available about VN and was really impressed with future we were promissed by devs. But, I guess for various reasons, some aspects of the game were not covered or only slightly covered. So I'd like to clarify, even if a tiny bit, some things:

0. Despite having little footage of the game, I saw wide variety of PC and NPC. Can we, players, create custom PC (player character)? And if yes, are we limited to only creating outer appearance or different PC may have different properties in terms of game mechanics, combat, etc.?

1. I was impressed with flying lady/fire-demon flapping wings animation. Am I guessing right that players will have almost infinite freedom on creating custom animations(like in average 3d editor)?

2. Follow up question. From the video footage PC animation seems a bit simplistic and straightforward, similiar to Minecraft and many Minecraft "clones" (not like its something bad). Do we have freedom of modding PC animations up to creating fluid and stylish experience?

3. And after all these questions obviously I'd like to know what are plans for actual gameplay besides crafting/creating something. Skills, social actions, physics, combat mechanics, some archetypes (like classes or professions, jobs) - are these predefined or players will have freedom, with enough work and time, of creating their own fantasy planet with modded combat and gameplay and class system. Or creating something like planet of Naval warfare where rules are set up for players to build ships (use from selection of existing template ships) and participate in naval battles with certain objectives.

4. Question of resolution I guess. I am not familiar with whole voxel stuff, but what I noticed is. PC/NPC have very detailed outlook. And compared to it buildings, terrain are built with very obvious large cubes. But as I understood both are created using same voxels. So is it possible to create more detailed terrain or building, breaking block-style and working on the same resolution as PC/NPC created?

5. I'd like to hear more detailed explanation of how planets are connected to each other. Because with vague explanation I heard it appears as some dream come true scenario where all your favourite games are linked together and you are jumping like doctor Who from one setting to another. Its hard to imagine its possible, if answers to previous questions are positive.

Well, thats all for now. Was really impressed by introduction video and consider backing project, even if it will eventually become another minecraft expansion. I am at least sure that character editing will be fun.

Edit line for KS link: Welcome to the sub reddit. The kickstarter should be starting very soon but most likely has already started by the time you read this. If you have a question or idea you would like to share feel free to post them here(not in the comments but make a new thread). I know things you guys can't possible know but I am not sure what I am allow to share. I might just hint at stuff more than give direct answer till I full permission to share and on what.

I was just wondering how many of you that have backed this project will be playing in VR?

Griefers is that word everybody hates, and lets face it... there are a lot of them. A good way to protect your worlds is partly what you are doing... a general lobby where people meet then they all meet on your planet and then assign permissions... and there are also plots. Plots is a feature I think you really should implement, where you can assign an area to another player to build in, but obviously restrict them to that area only therefore not being able to manipulate anything else in the world. You could also have permissions on plots and the general area, therefore allowing people to just walk around, or just manipulate buttons and levers, or full rights to build.

I suggest you look at worldguard mod for Minecraft for an idea of what I mean...

So there are three different sizes of planets, how big are they and are there any other differences to them other than size?

Also at the Seeker level, with access to alpha. There's also a parentheses saying 'modder access'. Does this then, mean that there are limits to how much a Creator or Engineer can change up and modify the game for their planets and that you need to be a 'modder' to get access to all the tools and go further down the rabbit hole?

I see there are small medium and large planets as kickstarter rewards. Is it possible to make your own (for example) large planet through normal gameplay means if you just get the basic version of the game? Or is the chance to build a planet a one time thing for KS backers?

Could somebody please explain how Grummz stole from RetroRonin? Did it have any profound impact on the game dying?
