( Lol offtopic post for a sec):: I love your member status title XDD

Okay back to the actual post:

I think he is paper, and to the fact that he's trying to pull a useless quality upgrade the voxel status is fine as it is.

edit: Damn you ninja's.....

What is wrong with you, why are you so stubborn, were you born a donkey? Learn something about voxels first, then we can talk.

Taking everyones opinion is a good thing.

A true leader acknowlages everyone, whether there white, black, young or old.
A foolish leader discards the opinions of the wise.
You dany0, are a foolish leader.

Your not getting my point as we speak.

the graphics are fine, Is it that hard to see?

Edit Add-on: and I know quite alot about these voxel form graphics

@ below Shisa, Cawadooty fan lemme get my Half-Life banhammer

@Frost
its a gun mod...that adds guns.

@dany0
but you just said it was a mess? thus saying you want the game to look better. i think YOU should learn a bit more english and grammar before you start trolling.

EDIT : i think dany is a calladoooty recruiter...*ready your pitchforks men!*

EDITEDIT : also why do you think the dev made the game like this and not some souped-up shit like COD? please answer that question. oh reasonable godly troll

and another thing dany0.
You seem to think we care (about OP).

B of course
The games graphics should stay as simple as it is now, they make the game looking unique :D

Proves my point up there seek

HarHarHar.

If you don't care, don't answer, period.

Falco:
No they are not, you're just keep proving you know nothing about voxels, nor game design and graphics. So get out if you're not helpful.

Paperbox:
Really, you can't be serious. I haven't played minecraft because it is somewhat related to voxels. I played it because i love sandbox games.

I didn't find AoS by typing "minecraft like shooting game". I found it by typing "slab7" and "voxlap".

See the difference? I'm interested in the technology 50%, the game 50%. I like the game so far, it's time to improve the technology.

I've actually read about using a voxel based rendering technique versus using the traditional polygon rendering technique. I don't think that when Ben created this game that he was using a voxel based renderer so that he could make the game run more efficiently and to expand upon the possibilities of using voxel based rendering. I think he thought up what the game would be and THEN decided that voxel redering was a better solution. He's not going to rewrite the engine for the game.
Also, even though it would be possible to improve the voxel count, Ben knows that the fanbase would disapprove. Just look at the responses in this thread. Many good and bad suggestions go through these forums the exact same way yours did. You just have to learn to quit, since anyway, Ben 99% won't even comment on this thread.

This is what I think of you, Dany0.

KomradeEuler:
That's why I made a thread, where is Ben anyway. And the fan base disagrees because they are illiterate fools.

Your the fool Dany0.
You think that the community wants better resolution, when clearly we all disagree.
Have you ever heard of the phrase: The customers' always right? Basicly Ben won't even bother with this thread because the forum (the customers) don't want the graphics changed.
And also, don't call us fools when you're being a fool yourself.

You're not Ben's customer. Now give me a sec I'm rewriting the original post...

How am I not Bens customer? I play the game.

Do you even know what im talking about?

Another thing.
One of the most unique points of AoS is that it can run on anything, If graphics improve a proportion of the playerbase could be lost.

Interesting idea. I would like to see something like this in the future. Maybe as a toggleable so you can go into a 'High Quality' mode or something..
But gameplay always comes first. Once Ben gets the game to play smoothly, this is something he should consider.

Voxels are cheap to render. It won't change much. Even a moderate 4x increase won't cost more to run.

I don't have a problem with the idea of a higher voxel count. It would allow for higher detail in destruction, smoother terrain and pretty the game up. However, there are many downsides, such as handling the increased load for servers, backwards compatibility with old maps, etc.

And how will building be handled? Still voxel by voxel (which would be a nightmare to build anything meaningful if the resolution was 4x the current or higher)? Or a large block of many voxels? How will this large block interact with the uneven ground?

Plus there is the whole fact that, rather than overhauling the whole engine, Mr. Aksoy could better use the time to implement more features and improving the gameplay, which is what games are about. If a game plays like a sack of shite, all pretty graphics do is make it a pretty sack of shite (see Sniper: Ghost Warrior). Likewise with a very fun game, like AoS.

TL;DR. A higher voxel resolution would be a nice bonus after the game is completed, but not essential.

To be honest, I don't give a shit about graphics. The game could have been finished with the old 0.30s look and I wouldn't have cared, because gameplay is king. Graphics are no more important to games than paper type is to books. As long as it presents the work clearly enough, who cares what it's like? You can make it extra smooth, thicker and more glossy, but it doesn't mean diddly squat unless the actual content is worth experiencing.

I guess this makes me an option B person then...

I read your edit Dany0, you must be bullshitting.
AoS current graphics do not make the game unplayable! have you been playing with a blindfold on because you can't stand the graphics? then go play something else.

.... what is wrong with AOS???

@Dany0
we are illiterate fools =?

"Then we can talk about how I CAN HELP the community. Like creating a few maps... if you would fix the movement(again voxelstein 3d, try it bitches)"

Sounds egoistic to me... and no one wants help from someone whos just bitching around :D

PS: Voxelstein 3d is a good game but the graphics make me dizzy ;-)

My grandma's rig already can't run it (had to try) so no.

Frosty:
I didn't edit it yet, what are you talking about.

Here's a nice example:

to this
http://www.qubicle-constructor.com/media/tutorial_isometric_pixel-art/edges.gif

But the biggest problem with AoS is the horrible color palette, that's what makes it unplayable. Well it is playable but really badly.

>"Horrible color palette"
The fuck? You're kidding me.

Dany0 just give up you're not going to convince anypony and nopony agrees with you and everypony wants it to stay this way. just go away.

So basically, you're just changing part of the outline to be black.

OP updated.

Bobbunny:
Yeah why not, it's one of the solutions. Also it can be implemented via a shader, Voxlap is doing some calls to the GPU already. Well, you can also chop off one voxel off the side on the nearest blocks.

"So I suggest, no I demand that you will start working on something that will at least balance the colors out and make everything much better to see."

Sorry, we don't negotiate with terrorists.

Dany0, no one here is convinced.
The colour pallette is fine and adding black lines for the outline would look horrible.

Go on super cool build and look at the stuff there (especially the pixel art) then you will wonder how on earth you complained about the pallette.
