Hello NeoSpark! Recently I haven't been able to find any traces of Voxel Works Quest on the SideQuest store, and the Itch.io page for the game seems to have not been updated in about three years (geez, time really flies). I've been wondering about the state of Voxel Works Quest. Will you continue to update it? Why is it no longer on SideQuest? If there are any new versions, where are they and how can I download them? Voxel Works Quest is one of my favorite games, and the lack of activity slightly concerns me. If you can respond, please answer these questions: Why was Voxel Works Quest removed from the SideQuest Store, will the game be continued (updated further), and where can I download the newest versions of the game? Thanks!
Hi, thanks for your comment. The short answer is: there are no new newer versions and I'm not not planning to continue development. (but the full source code is available on github)
It started as a small prototype for jog in place + hand tracking and after adding several addtional features it became clear that the architecture did not allow to expand it much further with reasonable time invest. So at some point I just shifted my focus on other things.
I removed it from SideQuest because at some point a Meta Update seems to have broken the game and it did not work anymore for everybody who tried; I wanted to avoid that too many people try it and get frustracted with it just crashing.
Hi, neospark314 I think your game looks really cool although I am not able to create worlds. The game crashes as soon as I click create a new world. Could you try to fix this? I really want to play!
Hi, I've got a problem I just downloaded voxel Works Quest and for some reason no matter what I do every time I open it it will not let me make a world it just keeps crashing
hey I know its hard to make a game and ive asked for a lot but i do hope that you do still work on this game becuase it has so much potential so yea...
IM SO sorry but im going to ask 1 more thing could you make it so you can use greenery (i know i spelled that wrong) it would make my houses look so much better
Hi, I deactivated the invites because the server did not serve any meaningful purpose anymore since I'm currently not working on this project and it got too much spam.
Damm its a good game i have played it even had tp and gold life was good but what i dont understand why is there a health bar if there is none fall damage or hostile mobs (add both plz) and also add bow somehow :p and a list of all online servers like in mc ( but of course these are only ideas for 0.3.12 apk)
no; Teleport is not yet implemented; you could try the jog in place motion; for some people it helps with motion sickness (but it is of course quite strenuous).
Currently you can put a single type of item into a wooden crate; and then you can just take them out by grabbing into the crate (so there is no way to open them).
The wooden workbenches are for crafting wooden tools; you can also craft the stone workbench on it and then use it for stone tools.
You put items from your inventory on top of the bench; they should start rotating; the recipes to craft are on a "crafting guide" that spawns near your starting location. When the bottom of the crafting area turns green you have a valid recipe. You then can either press the A/X button with your hand over the area or you hit the crafting area with a swing (same as mining).
Hope this helps; if you still have questions you could also join our discord linked above to discuss.
Thank you so much for this game! I absolutely love it! I don't have any suggestions or complaints, just requests. Please don't ever lose the climbing mechanic. It's perfect. I love hanging from a rock face with one hand and swinging my pick axe with the other. And please don't lose the ability to place minature inventory items anywhere in the world. This is how I will make fences and doors and furniture, etc. This also allows for jagged edges and curve simulation. The possibilities are endless. This is by far my favorite vr game! It's therapy and a workout rolled into one. It's not minecraft and it shouldn't be. This is Voxel Works! It's better IMO! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
Thank you so much for this feedback! It makes me really happy to hear that you are having fun with it. The climbing is also one of my favorite mechanics. Climbing in VR just always feels so nice.
I hope that you do not run into performance problems when placing too many objects.
At some point I would love to visit your world. I plan to make the register feature part of the client in one of the next updates (at the moment I need to create accounts for uploading worlds manually)

Hi, neospark314 I think your game looks really cool although I am not able to create worlds. The game crashes as soon as I click create a new world. Could you try to fix this? I really want to play!
I think I have figured out the cause of the problem; the new meta software is jamming some features of the game (creating a new world)
evey time I try to make a new world it crashes, help!
Hi, I've got a problem I just downloaded voxel Works Quest and for some reason no matter what I do every time I open it it will not let me make a world it just keeps crashing
how do i download the game
i also want a pcvr version as i only have a Rift S
I want this on PCVR. I don't own an Oculus.
hey I know its hard to make a game and ive asked for a lot but i do hope that you do still work on this game becuase it has so much potential so yea...
IM SO sorry but im going to ask 1 more thing could you make it so you can use greenery (i know i spelled that wrong) it would make my houses look so much better
Yea hey im back again to ask what the next update will be because ive got everything and ive built like 5 houses in standard mode so... yea thank you
Hello i would love to see a use for coal because i think its useless right now
also i would like to see a use for the health bar. ( of course this is just my idea but it would be cool )
What happened to the discord server link? I would love to download some textures to use
Hi, I deactivated the invites because the server did not serve any meaningful purpose anymore since I'm currently not working on this project and it got too much spam.
is there anywhere I can get textures and stuff?
A contributer created a texture converter that takes minecraft texture packs and outputs a texture that can be used in voxel works. You can find the converter here: https://arthurcose.github.io/VoxelWorks-Texture-Converter
any plans for updates or is this gonna stay the final version?
Damm its a good game i have played it even had tp and gold life was good but what i dont understand why is there a health bar if there is none fall damage or hostile mobs (add both plz) and also add bow somehow :p and a list of all online servers like in mc ( but of course these are only ideas for 0.3.12 apk)
How would you get this to work on The Rift S or is this a Quest only game?
at the moment it is a quest only game; but it is open source and godot has rift support so porting it should be possible without too much effort
Got it, Thank you.
ITS APK NOT .ZIP WHY
APK is the format used to install to android devices. And the oculus quest VR headset is an android device.
ItS nOt LeTiNg Me DoWnLoAd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is teleport based movement feature implemented? I really enjoy the game but I also get motion sick very easily
no; Teleport is not yet implemented; you could try the jog in place motion; for some people it helps with motion sickness (but it is of course quite strenuous).
Please add mobs as fast as you can, I want to kill them with the motion controls
How do you open a wooden crate? And what are the wooden workbenches for?
Currently you can put a single type of item into a wooden crate; and then you can just take them out by grabbing into the crate (so there is no way to open them).
The wooden workbenches are for crafting wooden tools; you can also craft the stone workbench on it and then use it for stone tools.
how do you craft in a workbench
You put items from your inventory on top of the bench; they should start rotating; the recipes to craft are on a "crafting guide" that spawns near your starting location. When the bottom of the crafting area turns green you have a valid recipe. You then can either press the A/X button with your hand over the area or you hit the crafting area with a swing (same as mining).
