Planets - A Open World Voxel RPG

[Couchpotato]

Planets³ is the latest voxel game from Cubical Drift. The game is described as a 3D open-world, voxel-based role playing game. Here is a video with some footage.

Imagined by video game lovers, Planets³ combines the excitement of role playing with the pleasure of construction and the boundless freedom to roam about in a 3D universe.Its intricate plot and outstanding voxel based design offers opportunities for intense action and unlimited creativity.

The site also has a clock with four days to the kickstarter launch. So let me know if anyone on site is interested in more coverage.

More information.

It's just not using the "smooth voxel" features. Planet Explorers (and EQNext Landmark) use VoxelFarm and that voxel engine has a features that flat the voxels. You can actually disable it in Landmark.

The cube shaped planet is rather cool though.

Looks interesting but cube shaped planets just seem odd to me. Planet Explorers is supposed to reach Steam next week and will probably be playing that, but Ill keep on eye on this.

Neat video but beyond the "hey, our planets are cube shaped!" what has this got for role playing? The video makes it seem more like Minecraft.

Cartoon Kids in a Lego world? No thanks.
