VoxelTown

What is VoxelTown?

VoxelTown is a powerful and innovative Voxel Engine unlike other Voxel Engines, it doesn't store Individual Voxels. Think vector art, storing shapes, lines, and boundaries instead of pixels... VoxelTown stores brushes! What is a Brush you ask? In VoxelTown a Brush is a shape, a line, or a boundary. What does this mean? This means the total memory usage of VoxelTown is significantly lower! Implementing features (e.g. multiplayer) becomes significantly easier as well, now all you have to do is sync the Brushes, not the voxels!

• Marching Cubes - Was in v1.0, but temporarily removed in v1.1 It was a very basic and mostly pointless implementation anyway.

NOTE: Mobile devices are confirmed to not be working as of v1.1

NOTE: Although Mac and Linux systems are expected to be compatible, We cannot ensure their proper functioning since Windows is the only platform that we have.
