One beat at a time.
A person writes each beat before anything else is built.
One person. One universe. Short films first.
Voxel Sky is a one-person story studio in Southern California making short films in an original universe. The game comes later.
Scroll to build.
Gray blocks in 3D.
A shot is built in 3D to set the camera, the timing, and the blocking.
Rendered from the same blocking.
AI video tools render the final look from that blocking.
Films
Four short films
Each is twelve seconds long and set in the same universe.
12 sMirror Shot
A marine studies a mission board. The camera slips through the mirror; his reflection keeps walking.
12 sThe Walk-In
A marine walks from his dropship to the briefing room in one unbroken shot.
12 sThe Mound
At dusk, a hill on an alien plain is alive and pulls him in.
12 sDepot Loop
A Bombard tank meets its tiny copy in a depot model, and the shot loops forever.
Buildcraft
One original universe, three factions.
Modern drone warfare inspires their designs, but the story stays in its own world.
Vanguard
Human soldiers and heavy machines. Their Bombard locks down into artillery.
Choir
A crystalline order. Every unit is a tuned crystal held by a humming field.
Myriad
A living swarm that grows its units and overwhelms with numbers.
The same universe as a game
Buildcraft is a browser-based real-time strategy game in development. Its three factions are the Vanguard, the Choir, and the Myriad.
