Okay, voxel games were cute, everyone loved Minecraft. But that doesn’t mean that voxels are the solution to everything! I really am sick of getting excited at a new game on one of the major services (Steam, Epic, etc) only to have the phrase “voxel graphics” tacked onto the end.

Yes, I’m sure it’s easier to design with than conventional graphics, and I respect that. Maybe you want to just get your game out there based on its other merits, like its mechanics or gameplay loop. Cool, I totally get that. But things like Urbek City Builder or Shadows of Doubt just make me cringe a little inside because it’s an otherwise great concept mired in graphics that, to my eyes at least, look a little dumb.
