This looks incredible. It almost looks like hand-drawn pixel art for the title screen of an old game. I hope the game looks like this when it's done. |

can you raytrace (assuming you are doing that) inside deformed cube? I mean skewed, rotated, etc ...
Also I bet you have already read the paper of media molecule "dream"'s rendering

Yep, I have read the media molecule paper - I actually encountered some similar problems as them. It is ray-based, and I can do any sort of tranformation to the rays, allowing relatively cheap space deformation. I can rotate objects, twist them, skew them, or even create portals easily. |

Looking good as always, I just hope the project does actually ship in some finite amount of time.

Actually, we have a slightly more "firm" target now, although as usual no hard dates. We are aiming to get out the door in 3 months - won't be a fun game necessarily, but at least something for users to get their hands on. Within 6 months we hope to have a basic prototype. From there, it will just be continual improvement of the game for as long as possible and working towards the long term goals as time allows. BTW I love the look of Super Battlelands  |

Perfect now you can do skin mesh like animation  think drawn to be alive but voxel  |

I've upped the view distance considerably, and improved performance to handle it. (Link to image, to large to see here well): http://i.imgur.com/VcKRJQ8.png |

next generation will be surely voxel overlord, it already overtake current optimization process for almost anything from lighting to occlusion, it's just a matter of time until you lead the glorious revolution with the fantastic four.
Just waiting for voxel animation though, to complete the circle

That house on the cliff looks like a great home for a sorcerer.

Is it possible to do a similar optimisation to polygons, where distant voxels are "merged" into bigger ones? Like some kind of spatial octree deal?

Yes, sort of. I wrote a polygon-based voxel mipmapping solution once, which was used for this thing, but is not active in this video: Problem is that you get some overdraw or spaces between the voxels as you make the far ones bigger, it produces gaps where there might not have been gaps before so all 6 faces need to be accounted for accordingly. |

But still an interesting read. |
