Io - Indie 3d platformer, puzzles with voxel based digital clay (Unity3d)

http://iogame.tumblr.com/
(Group collaboration) Work in progress.
'Io' is a 3d platformer with an interesting new concept.
Digital clay!
The player is able to draw three-dimensional clay into the world and utilise this feature to create platforms, dig tunnels and solve puzzles.

This is awful. The early video showed much more potential. It is a let down that you changed from manipulating the environment to shooting just a bit of clay in the designated area to jump on.

Try returning to the global edit. Add more brush. then you can have something truly unique and great.

@newtubetubetube:

We are still experimenting with various types of gameplay. We never ruled out the possibilities for larger editable areas, but I do not agree that the ideas shown here are "awful".

how do you do the clay removing and adding ? I been trying to figure out how to do that and was like OMG omg omg when i seen you do it XD. I dont want make a game like this but id like to try make diff type game with it could you possibly teach me how to do that ? or share script or something please (if absolute dont want share please atleast point me in goood direction XD ?

@merccc1

We implemented the marching cubes algorithm to generate the geometry for the clay. :)

Show this to Valve, maybe they'll hire you. :)

There are hundrets of Games each Year....

Dont make the Misstake and Create a Game, which you sale for 30$ per Copy.

Better create an "Every Idiot can make Games now - Construction Kit" and sell it

for 300$ per Copy. 90% of all Gamers dream about an Sandbox Game Construktion

Kit.

- KI Funktions

- Quest Scripting in "if-then" Style)

- Toolboxes for Objekt funktions

...

THAT will be the next Milestone..... not just a Game.

So in a way it's like mine craft... but a million times better?

I loved the games and it's concept.

This is pretty sweet, is it the same thing as

VoxelForm found on the unity asset store? Or different?

And do you know if voxel form / this can work on iphone? Or is it for regular unity terrains only? Thanks

[Teenag3r]

AWESOME BRO!, Can you please help me with my 3d platform game(unity3d)?

[BlackNekosStudios]

Very good job, this looks extremely interesting... the system reminds me somewhat of Disney's Epic Mickey... well done guys!

@newtubetubetube:

We value all constructive feedback though, and we are ourselves very fond of the larger editable areas. The game is still in a pretty early development stage, nothing is impossible. ;)

[newtubetubetube]

@bytegrove Maybe its a bit harsh. I watch the early video a second before so my expectation was really high.
