Is Voxatron just dead in the water? Could we get a blog post either way? The lack of updates is disappointing, and the lack of transparency is frustrating. Zep, could you treat Voxatron less like a hobby you're losing interest in, and more like a product people have paid for? I think the least you could do is a state-of-play blog post once a month or so, letting us know where you're at... Delays happen, of course, but it would be reassuring to know you're actually still working on this.

hello as they are I just leave the suggestion that you leave vexatron free for people who do not have money can put it in itch.io free mode and if you want to be given money I hope you understand me:
Postscript this is constructive criticism

Hey, trying to open the Voxatron linux file, kind of confused on it. I did the ./ thing, but.... It gave me this error: /vox_dyn: error while loading shared libraries: libHoloPlayCore.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
What does this mean?

some legacy options can be accessed using RightShift+LeftMouse when clicking an object, actor, monster, folder, etc.

In 0.3.6 which has a blank designer workspace, playing a cart does not load into designer either, VOBs (voxel object bank) can be saved and loaded of items, rooms, folders, whatever.
This VOB can be loaded which contains the objects from 0.3.5b
This VOB contains the old/uneditable internal assets in rooms to copy-paste, that may get removed/make this unusable in the future
note: carts can be loaded as a VOB, PNG image files (128px max) can be imported, GIF frames to re-import as animations

How do I add a custom sound effect to a pickup item?
I converted my .wav to an .xm file using MilkyTracker and uploaded it into Voxatron.
But with the settings for my pickup item it only allows to activate a default sound.

I bought Voxatron a while ago and i cant leave the splore.
I dont know how to leave it and everytime i start voxatron it boots the splore.
i've seen that there is a menu or something like that from which you can make your own projects,
but i have not found out how to come there / how to make an own project / do anythin except play games in the splore. i have seen other threads about this, but all i could read out of those was that to leave the splore, just press escape or something, but that did not work for me
Please Help.
Thank you.

Unfortunately the Web player doesn't work. I'm using version 0.3.6 (the only one downloadable). Don't know if that could be the problem.
It looks like the issue is present in all the Voxatron carts posts.
Hope they will fix it soon.

Hello, it seems all Voxatron embedded players are broken.
They are trying to load a cartridge with extension .p8.png instead of .vx.png.
Attaching a cartridge that I'm trying to publish
You can open browser devtools and see that there is a request to /bbs/cposts/se/seneteyuba-2.p8.png
and it receives 404.
I need to publish this cartridge for a Game Jam tomorrow, can someone please look into this?

When i downloaded voxatron it came with a portable download (no installer) and the vox.exe doesn't have an icon. I've tried using resource hacker to add it but there are no resources in the first player. I found the png file of what is presumably the icon but it doesn't show on the exe in the task bar or in file explorer. Anyone have a way to fix this?

Hello all,
Not sure where to post this, apologies if in the wrong place.
I am running Ubuntu 20 and am having great difficulty running Voxatron 0.36, I have tried the usual clicking on the vox and vox_dyn which gives me a shared library error, I have also run it from terminal both with and without sudo and get the same error, I was missing the libsdl2 dependency but have fixed that, am I missing anything else ? the OS is also 64bit.
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I'm a software engineer, but not a game programmer. I've only played around a little with game engines. I've also dabbled with pixel art and 3D modeling. I'm thinking about buying Voxatron to play around with, but am wondering if I wouldn't be better off spending my time learning something like Godot. So for those who have bought it and made some games in it, is there anything you wished you knew before buying it?
One of the things I'm wondering about is just how limited it is. From what I've seen you have rooms that are a maximum of 256x256x256 voxels to work with. You have to create new rooms and stitch them together (somehow) to create a larger area. Are there limitations on the number of rooms you can stitch together? How feasible it is to create a somewhat large game playing space?
There also doesn't seem to be much in the way of guides for learning how to script, which is something I would want to do. The lack of information makes it hard to know just how much can be done with scripting, as well as how easy or difficult it is to script the ideas I have.
