Dual Universe Releases New Video Featuring Voxel Technology

It was released today by Paris-based game studio Novaquark, a new video which gives a glimpse at the Voxel Technology featured in Dual Universe, a continuous Shingle-Shard sandbox MMORPG for PCs slated for release in 2018. The three-minute video gives a look at the revolutionary Voxel Technology featured in the pre-alpha version of the game with first-hand commentary from the game’s creator Jean-Christophe Baillie and was released in celebration of the game breaking the halfway mark of its Kickstarter campaign.

Check out the pre-alpha video of Dual Universe, Explaining how the Voxel Technology works:

“Our vision for Dual Universe is to give a maximum amount of freedom for players to create anything they want in the game, using our new Voxel Technology and builder gameplay mechanics” said Jean-Christophe Baillie, founder and president of Novaquark. “The new video truly takes viewers on a journey into the world we are building with the game and provides a must-see snapshot of the making behind the universe they will soon be able to explore.”

“Giving an in-depth look at the voxel technology behind Dual Universe, the tech demo video is narrated by game creative director Jean-Christophe Baillie as he explains how the construction gameplay has been implemented. In the video, viewers are given an inaugural detailed introduction to exactly how one of the key technological breakthrough of Dual Universe will serve as a key building foundation of the game. This behind the scene moment showcases the main three elements of Dual Universe’s Voxel integration which are: the technology that will allow players to sculpt structures of any shape they like, the fact that these structures will be unbounded in size, and that all this will take place within the context of a single-shard MMO, which means that all creations are visible to all other players.

Backed by more than 4,800 gamers through an enthusiastic Kickstarter campaign, Dual Universe has now raised more than 337,000€ and is more than halfway to their initial target of  500,000€ to add to Novaquark’s own investment in order to continue the development of the game. The Kickstarter campaign is open for 19 more days and those who choose to back the project will gain access to a variety of rewards including access to Alpha and Beta versions, highly-discounted monthly subscription coupons, original soundtrack and artwork.
