Joseph “Lexaloffle” White has released a new teaser for his upcoming arena shoot ’em up Voxatron that shows off the game’s model editor. A polished version of the editor will ship with the final release.

Game looks really cool. Voxels need more love. They have so much potential.
This looks so sweet, but why the microscopic screen size?

I will be very disappointed if there is no Linux release of this game.

Uh-mazing!

Is this inspired by every voxel game out there?

The most fitting application I can think of for arena voxels is another Robotoron 2084 remake.

The blog post linked in the article says the editor is “like a cross between Blender and Emacs”. Perhaps that is at least a sign of the developer's awareness of Linux? We can hope.

I've heard it's PC and Mac only. And for mac it just uses the windows simulator.

Considering I saw the voxel engine this was built on running some (other) prototype games many, many, years ago, I'm going to go say “no”, it predates the current fashion for voxels, it just takes Joseph a long time to finish what he starts sometimes.
Guess-T
Yes this is Robotoron based

I use Linux almost exclusively for development now (including for Windows builds). So, yep.
