Even if for some reason he completely halted development right here and all we got was the bare-bones terrain generation/alteration stuff, that's still well worth $10.

[Skyrunner]

Does he have a working API and library and stuff though? :v

[Rose]

He's going for full source release, rather than the API route.

[Skyrunner]

I suppose someone would create an api and library once it's released, then.

[Talvieno]

People are discussing that over on their forums, yeah.

First release!  And source!

I think this is an earlier version of the engine than seen in the later dev blogs? 

I expect we'll see more in time, personally I think he should go for another round of funding after the more recent engine builds go out.

[Rose]

Yeah, it's an early version, because that's the one everybody asked for, me included.

Personally, I just find the new engine to be ugly in comparison.

[puke]

Agreed, but so much more potent. 

I think people will build cute little things with the iso engine, but could make amazing things with the latter ones.

I'm imagining a space game with fully realized o'neill cylinder or stanford torrus... the complex shape interactions raise huge possibilities.

[PTTG??]

Much like this thread, Voxel Quest is an undead project.

Gavin has had to go get a real job, but he's released every version freely to the wind. In a few weeks, I'll find the time to compile a version or two and see where I can go with it. If nothing else, it looks like the absolute most fun procedural generator sandbox...
