Miguel Cepero is creating a voxel based engine, however it definitely looks more like an open world adventure like an Elder Scrolls<\/em> title rather than your usual voxel adventure. It’s quite interesting looking into the tech on all this and I highly recommend his blog for any 3D modeling nerds out there. Read on for more about the engine and a preview video.<\/p>\n

The below video really shows it all when you first see such an organic world being treated like a Minecraft map. Honestly I went into this not knowing what to expect. I thought the forest canopy created a great dark forest that seemed very realistic. When he started digging blocks out of the ground I was astounded to see this was a building voxel sort of concept.<\/p>\n

I’d love to see this developed as a procedural world game. Seeing programmers expanding upon the voxel world concept is really exciting and does create a promising future for this growing category of gaming. Add in some RPG elements along with random quests and you’d keep me busy for a long time!<\/p>\n

Definitely give Miguel’s blog Procedural World<\/a> a read if you’re even remotely game engine savvy. It’s quite a good read! I found the concepts he explains in texturing more randomly distributed images<\/a> to be especially interesting.<\/p>\n

Check out the latest video below, and be sure to browse his YouTube channel for more!<\/p>\n
