Craftica is now being rebooted as a new game named Voxelantis!

First I want to assure you that I haven’t abandoned this game, it is just rebooted with a new name, as the post title suggested. Of course, I cannot simply change the game name and call it a reboot. The rebooted game must include something new and become way better. So I have been very busy improving it for more than two years without giving you any updates, and I am sorry for that.

The reason I stopped posting updates was that I was afraid that the mistakes I made with Craftica was unsalvageable. And the fact is that Craftica was the first game I ever developed and the first game I ever released on Steam, so I was inexperienced in many ways and made some big mistakes in the development and in releasing it improperly on Steam. After the release, for two to three years I tried to salvage the situation with some big updates, but nothing seemed to work.

After a few years of struggling, I finally decided that it would be better to reboot the game with a new name. This reboot will come with some big improvements such as:

• A new spherical world mode;

• Simpler mouse/key operations and controls;

• Better vegetations;

• Better optimization (in handling textures and mesh building);

• Better graphics (physics base rendering with volumetric fog);

• Complete rewrite of the navigation system;

• More robust mechanical simulation;

Additionally the survival mode gameplay and the UI will also be significantly improved.

If you are still interested in this game, you are welcome to add the new game Voxelantis to your wishlist. When Voxelantis is released, any player who has bought Craftica before the release will get a copy of the new game for free as a compensation for not finishing this game.

Thank you for your understanding!
