The Road That Was Not Taken TRTWNT is a board game with elements of FPShooters and RPG's. It relies on procedural generation in order to generate new experiences every time you play the game. Stats determine how the world and it's entities interact with the player. Looking For Voxel ArtistI'm not going to bother with listing the feature set here, because it will probably change as development goes on. Have some pictures: To-Do List: https://trello.com/b/IkTTvIPt/trtwntEvent Log -------------------- YEAR 1: MONTH 1:August 5th 2013 - Development Begins in Unity August 15th 2013 - GHPZ joins team.

Working on an algorithm to generate random boards every time you play. Still needs more work...trying to flesh out the concept first before I bring it over to Unity. Animated GIF for your viewing pleasure: REVISION #2:

So I've worked on the board generator and I think it's ready to be brought over to Unity now. I'm thinking the boards should have sizes to choose from. For example, if the user wanted to play a quick game of TRTWNT then he would want to play on a small board. If he want to play a long game of TRTWNT then he would pick a big board to play on.

cool, nice work!
Thank you It's little comments like these that give me more energy to finish my game. I might write a blog post later on about how the generator works but it's pretty straightforward.

Working on bringing the algorithm over to Unity. It's not perfect yet, but it's getting there.

So I'm working on gameplay and I'm currently debating myself on the dimensions I should stick with. Everything is currently 2D but I think it would be interesting(and unique) if I merged 3D with 2D. If anyone has done this before and has any advice to give me I'd love to hear it. I don't want my game looking inconsistent, and I am fairly new to level-design. I'm using a nice piece of open-source software called Sproxel for the 3D Sprites. Unfortunately, Sproxel exports to .obj only (and a few other formats),but when I put the .obj in game it was textureless. Turns out that Unity does not support .mtl files so I converted the .obj's to .fbx's using a converter I found online. Here's a model I made: For now the players will just be a bunch of heads, but I'll eventually give them bodies... after some practice with Sproxel

Have you tried Qubicle? It's not free or open source, but it might have an easier pipeline to Unity. Off topic, that animated .gif in your first post looks like it has a ton of frames but the file size is only about 2.5mb. Do you have any tips for reducing .gif file size without loosing a ton of quality? I'm trying to export a .gif with 107 frames from PS CS6 and it's over 11mb!

I honestly have no money whatsoever, so Qubicle is out of the question. I might get it when I finally get the funds, or some kind soul gifts it to me - but until then, no. It is a nice piece of software though and perhaps the best voxel editor I've seen/used. I definitely did not hand-animate the gif you see in the OP, I used software called Licecap. If you're trying to record gameplay or something I recommend you use that rather than PS CS6. If you don't want to do that there are some other options GIFTI - 10 MB LIMIT EZGIF - 12MB LIMIT

I modeled some more characters.... Pixeling in 3D is a bit different than it is 2D. I need to experiment with depth more. I don't want my characters too flat.
