What the hell ever happened to it?

It started development in 2009 and the dev posted his progress all the way up until 2015.

Did he ever release another version? It would be a shame if all that effort went to waste.

Yeah I played it in like 2010.

>It would be a shame if all that effort went to waste.

people who aren't getting paid shouldn't be expected to finish anything because they almost never do.

voxelstein would be so much better if it had a dkc style minecart level where you could destroy the wheels of oncoming mine carts to derail them or shoot supports from neighboring minecart tracks to collapse them. Those levels are fantastic in DKC and the only people who didn't like them don't realize you can jump mid air.

Has anyone played anything else like this?

Either existing games adapted to a voxel style, or original games that use voxels to this degree, not just huge square blocks like minecraft etc.

Voxatron is another neat experiment but I don't know if anything ever came of it.

They seemed to have some story mode at some point but then they added a mode to make and publish your own level packs.

It feels less like a game in itself and more of a concept project, but it's interesting to fuck around in.

I'd like to see something like that but with a little more game structure, not just technical structure.

He likely got v& by Zionmax.

Looks like shit, plays like shit. Better play Brutal Wolfenstein.

He made a lot of GG shitposts and left. He's legit talented, wish he released the source code.

Maybe he transitioned (pink-pilled) and is making SJW games now. It happens to a lot of them. They have an edgy phase and then they do a 180 to become aggressively PC.

The tech for the game was made by Ken Silverman, the guy who originally wrote the engine for Duke Nukem (obvious, if you noticed the voxel stuff in later Build Engine games). He's currently doing physical volumetric displays.

Man, I got the most vicious case of motion sickness from it the first time I played it. It was unreal, I had to actually lie down afterwards.

They are not, voxels were used before Silverman's engine, just not for games. (((They))) do tend to have autism superpowers though, the Build engine source code is full of tricks and hacks only an autistic savant could have come up with. It also looks that way, a completely unmaintainable mess.

They aren't. We're closely related biologically as we're the rebel kids who decided we wanted to actually do something with power other than collect it and went on to invent everything. But since WWII they've controlled our universities and have destroyed our education. The amount of research published by John Smiths in real fields has dwindled to nothing as mathematicians and engineers spend their childhood being taught that competition is bad and "toxic" and their college years being taught feminist theory and marxism.

The real crime is people forgetting about LEGO Wolf3D.

Good job proving you have no knowledge of any modern research field.

Amazing depending on the cost/complexity. Still remarkable either way.
