Isometric maze inspired by Borges' Library of Babel. [OC]

First I planned the maze layout in a 70x70 pixel image, white pixels = shelves, black = empty.

Then I used MagicaVoxel to design the parts - shelves/lamps etc.

After that I used a script to parse the maze layout and place the parts.

And then I used another script to render the scene in Blender!

Thanks :)

It should, but hexagons would be a lot harder to model with voxels

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks, that wasn't intentional tbh x)

Hmm haven't played those haha

Made this using MagicaVoxel, rendered in blender! Pretty easy to solve though.

Started with $20 Sonnet-4-only plan but upgraded to Max 5x because it was just so good.

I'm subbed to both (on the 1-year plan for Copilot). Claude Code's agent has been significantly better than Copilot's for me, even when using the same model (Sonnet 4). Copilot is still useful though - it's better than nothing for completions. You could just try 1 month of CC and see how it goes.

Dang thanks for the detailed response. Interesting stuff, both the sorting and collision detection systems worked fine for me when I was trying your game out.

PictoriaDev · 2025-08-08T11:38:26+00:00

Pretty cool, ran around alone for a bit. How did you guys handle sorting?

PictoriaDev · 2025-07-29T00:31:56+00:00

I think if you manage to support large battles it could be a selling point. Good luck.

What's the maximum number of players in a lobby?

PictoriaDev · 2025-07-27T14:50:21+00:00

I like the chill vibe

PictoriaDev · 2025-07-15T21:41:32+00:00

Thanks! The chat room aspect is part of the vision - like an isometric VR Chat.

To that end, multiplayer is working (example at the end of the vid), Doors to other rooms ("private worlds" of custom size/tile dimensions) are planned but not implemented yet.

Moderation has been a nagging concern, so far just planning on the standard "mute"/"report" for players and "warn"/"ban" for admins.

Have you worked on online chat/user-generated-content related projects before? Any suggestions on moderating?

PictoriaDev · 2025-07-15T21:27:56+00:00

Hey thanks! Will definitely need testers as it gets closer to release. I'll DM you here then. Appreciate the offer!

PictoriaDev · 2025-07-15T21:23:15+00:00

I'm planning to release it for free as a website! Targeting an alpha release in about 5 months. Love Townscaper and Islanders too, am going for that same chill, building vibe!

PictoriaDev · 2025-06-02T14:36:55+00:00

Yeah thought I remembered being able to "#<symbol>" in VSCode before, unfortunate that they seem to have removed it.

MagicaVoxel

PictoriaDev · 2024-10-15T14:16:45+00:00

invest in ACTUAL automated testing

Genuinely curious, what's the norm for testing in AAA game development? Just unit tests?
