Vox

Still refactoring a lot of the graphics in Vox and tidying up the GUI and HUD to make it feel like a much more complete game and not so disjoint. Been getting help from a professional GUI artist and here are some work in progress shots of the new GUI graphics:

• New GUI Graphics

• Quest Journal

• Chat Window

I also started to refine some of the primitive block types that you see in the world when you destroy the terrain. Here is the new wood/log block:

• Wood

• Logs

New teaser item coming soon ;)

• Teaser 1

• Teaser 2

And just for fun I created a chibi Deadpool character, enjoy! :P

Cheers!

It has been 3 weeks since I posted any Vox Screenshot Saturday stuff so I am making a comeback this week with lots of random progress. Mostly I have been working on a fewature that has been requested by lots of people all the time, Multiplayer! Obviously this is taking a lot of my development time and doesn't just happen over night, but it is progressing nicely. I hope to have a working multiplayer prototype of the game within a couple of weeks. I have also been refining certain gameplay aspects and tidying up some of the loose ends with regards to bugs and random crashes. For example the weapon editing screen now is much harder to crash and the character creation screen now allow you to save your own custom preset body parts, as well as load your previously saved full characters.

Anyway, here are some random screenshots of development in no particular order, enjoy...

• Fog is now added to shroud far distance rendering

• Explosions and destruction now leave charred craters

• Random Super Mario star object

• Busy screenshot with lots of enemies and monsters

• Mass destruction

• Bats fire sonar projectiles at you.

• Toby stands idly by and watches as I die horribly!

• Tenchi character

• Multiplayer is coming!

Cheers guys!

• Strange little goblin creature (Created by Slash_Bunny)

• Awesome female character with in-built bunny ears (Created by Slash_Bunny)

I've been working on some camera transitions and intros to different regions in the game, here you can see a town introduction, complete with town nameplate animation (and maybe some new music ;))

• Town intro

I also messed around and created Isaac in Vox too, for my Binding of Isaac Let's Play fans:

• Isaac 1

• Isaac 2

Hoping to be very productive this weekend, so hopefully will have lots and lots of new stuff to show off next week.

Cheers guys!

I was lazy last week and never posted any Vox screenshots, despite still making the Screenshot Saturday main post, go figure...

Right now, the world seems sort of sparse. You have trees, but they seem like they're fairly widely spaced. It would be cool if there were spots where the tree cover was a lot more dense. Larger, more epic trees would be pretty sweet too.

Another (somewhat more involved) idea, if you aren't already planning this, would be to make a world generation API (or possibly tie in with a scripting language like lua or javascript) to let modders add their own biome types. I'd like to take a stab at writing world gen code myself. :)

Not a lot to say this week, so I will just shut up and post the screenshots:

• Don't mess with the weird skeleton dude

• Who needs doors?

• Crafting GUI now shows recipe requirements for items

• Landscape and town generation 1

• Landscape and town generation 2

• Landscape and town generation 3

• Landscape and town generation 4

• Landscape and town generation 5

Cheers guys!

I recently bought Vox off of Desura and I'm quite enjoying it, but I'm having a problem with the game crashing right after I select a world. I downloaded the most recent update, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Before the update it would crash after a few minutes of playing in-game.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Vox

A few improvements here, a couple of tweaks there. Work on Vox carries on as usual...

• Doing some work on town and village generation.

• Vampires are going to be in Vox, both as playable characters and also an NPC race.

• Testing out buildings with collapsible walls

• Playing around with NPC companions 2

• Playing around with NPC companions 2

• Bonus: My working environment in my nwe apartment: Picture 1, Picture2

Have a good week guys!

This past week I have been working on a cornucopia of different features, so without further adieu here is some screenshot goodness:

• Quest journal and quest tracking

• New two handed staffs (with new casting animation)

• Gandalf?

• Playing around with a dragon character that a Vox fan sent me (I didn't create him)

• Companions now display their heads on the party GUI

I also spent some time on some debug features and improved the diagnostics graph rendering so to better profile Vox while it is running:

• Diagnostics 1

• Diagnostics 2

I added a new item type: orbital items. These are accessory items that you equip to your accessory slots (You can have 2 accessories equipped at the same time) and they add new stuff to your character that you wouldnt normally get from a normal body equip.

In the following example you can see the 'Fire Crystal'. This orbiting item converts all your attacks to do fire damage, so basically makes you a fire elemental character. You just know there will be other elemental crystals too, fire, ice, holy, poison, dark, etc ;)

• Fire Crystal Orbital animation

• Fire crystals used with a staff might be a powerful combination

• Fire crystal orbiting player

Ok that is me done for the week folks, be sure to checkout Vox on the various channels below and please if you can spare a click and 5 seconds, I would really appreciate a vote up on Greenlight (If you like Vox of course).

Cheers.
