    "Sticks & Starships": an upcoming voxel game with some links to FTB / Tekkit

    To be honest, the thought never crossed my mind, lol. I don't picture it somehow... it seems like a detail that wouldn't further gameplay, while taking coding time. There might be a child and adult state, but it would probably be like other iterations of that concept, where adults never change...

    "Sticks & Starships": an upcoming voxel game with some links to FTB / Tekkit

    I don't expect we will be able to support 300 NPCs if I am honest with myself... that is just too much of a load... all those pathing algorithms, all that raycasting... I think you will find gameplay should end up being pretty managable in that regard, because performance constraints will...

    "Sticks & Starships": an upcoming voxel game with some links to FTB / Tekkit

    I think it should mainly work out this way. Also, as the need for certain materials increases, so does the player's tools for acquiring them; you won't find yourself needing to order around 300 NPCs to mine, because you will have access to equipment for mining with much greater efficiency. Also...

    "Sticks & Starships": an upcoming voxel game with some links to FTB / Tekkit

    I think I would answer that by pointing out that games with action occurring on a grand scale tend invoke a global perspective. For me it is much more satisfying to explore this theme from the absolute ground level. So you are not ordering units around from the air, you are one of the...

    "Sticks & Starships": an upcoming voxel game with some links to FTB / Tekkit

    Yes, from the very start. We plan to have our modding API out around the time of the 4th module (interstellar game-play elements) being released. That is about the time when the game will have its feature skeleton in place. People are of course free to mod the game earlier, but a lot of the...

    "Sticks & Starships": an upcoming voxel game with some links to FTB / Tekkit

    One of the things that was mildly surprising when we started showing our media to public sites (we expected some of it, but not on the scale we experienced), was the degree of suspicion which we were met with. In order to properly address some of the doubts people had, we decided that we would...

    "Sticks & Starships": an upcoming voxel game with some links to FTB / Tekkit

    Very similar. Once we have around half of the first module done (classical-age technology and the full core and interface), we will start publishing our builds for our players. Somewhere between modules 1 and 2, we intend to have server support up.

    When it comes time, we plan to distribute both on our site (which will switch to a commerce model) and on Steam. You can expect to see it on Greenlight around demo time.

    "Sticks & Starships": an upcoming voxel game with some links to FTB / Tekkit

    Hi Everyone! This is Dvarvaro, one of the creators of "Sticks & Starships". Sticks & Starships is an voxel game currently in development in C++ which we feel addresses some of what we feel is the previously unrealized potential of this powerful medium. The game offers a tech tree and story of...
