- socalgal2 3mo ago> Voxatron is a fantasy console and collection of games made entirely out of voxels (little colourful cubes, kind of). The Alpha version comes with an arena shooter and action-adventure cartridges as well as powerful design tools to make your own voxelly games. What part of that is hard to understand?
- phist_mcgee 3mo agoWhat is a fantasy console? Is this just software? If it's just software, is the fantasy console some kind of meta game or emulator? It's not clear at all.
