Seems like it's going the Minecraft alpha-funding route.

This bad boy's gonna have an object/level editor built right in, and it looks fairly simple to use. Even in this early state, it looks like it's got a lot of charm. Doesn't hurt that it's gonna have some pretty awesome music behind it too.

I could see myself easily putting a decent chunk of time into something like this. Thoughts?

EDIT: Thought this was another decent progress video to slap into the OP.

    I am VERY excited for this. I'm a huge fan of voxel technology, and I think this is definitely one of the better uses of it. I love real time procedural destruction in games, so Voxatron has me practically frothing at the mouth.

    I love that even the HUD and status messgaes appear in voxels. You can see them cast shadow when the terrain is just right.

    And dat music. Doesn't even need to be said, really.

    Man, I'm really excited about this. So sweet.

    Looks like voxel zelda.

    The sword part might, perhaps. Pretty sure that's about most of the resemblance it's gonna bear, though.

    This game is wonderful, and this is just the FIRST pass.

    Also, has anyone messed around with the editor yet? If there's a way for us to share content with one another at this stage, I would love to use this thread to show off our work to others.
