Voidborne: Voxel Madness is a solo developed fast-paced first-person indie action game where you explore, fight, and destruct in a fully destructible voxel world, developing skills and uncovering the secrets of forgotten civilizations. Check out the new trailer 😀 #indie #voxel

@Twarda8 Bonus points for every mention of ZUS

The duality of man

Voidborne: Voxel Madness will now be known as Isotopia When the project started, the player was an octopus shooting spikes and the name was more fitting :)

@RealityBeholder That was a few years ago :D. I think I ended up taking the ground normal into account, but making it subtle.

@VoidborneGame Can't say without having hands on it. It could be interesting, but I'd say really only trust your feeling when playing with it. Does it make you go where you don't want to more often than not? Scrap. Does it comes naturally? Try with playtesters?

Sometime ago I made it so when you jump on a slope it alters your jump direction. What do you think about it? It does make sense but I'm not sure if its good for the gameplay.

@aras_p @antonkudin @MoldyMagnet @vapgames The overall size of the vertex data needs to be a multiple of 4 bytes, you also need to plan around that.

@antonkudin @MoldyMagnet @vapgames I can be anything, actually. You can set the color attribute to be float4, or int4, or a handful other formats if you want to. Same for all other attributes. There's really no difference between them besides convention.

@occasoftware A tool like this doesn't need to be Unity specific, it could be a website.

90% of you said you wouldn't use an AI text-to-image tool in Unity. Why? #gamedev #unity3d

@epholys Thanks! There are plenty of similar games now, but there weren't any when I started. Check out @teardowngame and @Tooley1998

@VoidborneGame Looks awesome! Since I discovered Minecraft, I always wanted to have a voxel-based games with very small units. Voxel Quest was discontinued, but your game looks very cool!

Tell me your favorite strategy game by replying with ONE word only.

@Tooley1998 stunning!

Hey everyone, heres a video showing some of the new locations that Ive been working on. In these old abandoned structures you can find a variety of valuable bounty, but beware, they’re abandoned for a reason #gamedev #indiedev #voxelgame #voxelart #voxel #procedural #UnrealEngine

@BinaryImpactG Or just dont pass the layermask at all and let it default to Everything

#UnityTips Did you ever tried to set Unitys LayerMask to 'Everything' in code? Use the bitwise NOT operator (it is ~ in C#). Like this: LayerMask mask = ~0; This corresponds to everything 😎 Another good use of the NOT operator in our example picture 👇 #gamedev #indiedev

@deusxyz its 2560x1080, ultrawide

@VoidborneGame Thank you for the feedback!! For reference what size is it? If its 4k I can test that 😱

I made a website with he help of ai still very wip lol I like how light weight it is zoxel.duckdns.org

@deusxyz In Unity transporting data to/from gpu would be a bottleneck. If you can eliminate that in your own engine then it could be worth it

Spawned 3D voxes from vox_file data. Need to update for colors. Thinking of building meshes on gpu for better scaling :) #voxelgame #voxels #magicavoxel

@BenJungwirth YEAH

Check out the next weapon in Frogmonster! Happy with how the animations turned out #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev

@BenJungwirth That's way too many limbs to defeat

Do you think you can defeat Limbs? #gaming #indiegames #indiedev

@The_MrX_ @AlexRoseGames Maybe the new editor UI API does it better?

@VoidborneGame @AlexRoseGames also on this, I noticed editor code generally increases compile times way more, especially custom drawers, attributes etc. Unity should probably try to auto create attribute references for that stuff.

I don't know how anyone can use unity anymore since the 2020 updates, how are you supposed to develop when reloading script assemblies takes minutes every time you run the editor, and changing one line of code is like a 5 minute stall? prototyping has become as slow as porting

@The_MrX_ @AlexRoseGames This. This is the solution

@AlexRoseGames Are you not using assembly definitions? My compile time is still roughly 10-15 sec with thousands of scripts from multiple plugins and around 16k lines of code I made myself(in about 150-200 files). And I dont even use assembly definitions for my files yet, only for plugins.
