We included this in the previous update, but we opened up a new beta tier as well if you want to play more Voxile ASAP! This tier will give you access to WIP worlds before Early Access goes live so you can play and give feedback before anyone else!

You can also still play the demo and Wishlist it on our main page!

• Contestants must submit their world file via the submission link or through email.
• Only a single contestant can be listed for an entry. Team entries will not be accepted.
• Contestants may only submit one world. If a contestant makes multiple submissions, the most recent submission will be used for judging.
• Any entry that contains illegal, hateful, or discriminatory content will be disqualified at the discretion of the judges.
• All entries must use a Size 9 world.

[h3]Scoring: [/h3]

We will judge every entry based on the following criteria, and provide a score out of 100.

➡ Visuals (out of 50) – The visual quality of your world, the thematic visual cohesion, and creativity using the tools and assets the editor currently provides. Are there beautiful vistas to stare at? Is there a town with tiny details to appreciate? Is there a gruesomely elaborate cave where your monsters reside? Whatever theme you go with, we'll judge how detailed and interesting your visuals are and give you up to 50 points for this category.
➡ Gameplay (out of 30) – The quests, combat encounters, puzzles, and NPCs that make up your world. Did you design an elaborate quest that sends players to every corner of your island? Do your combat encounters feel exciting? Are your NPCs memorable? We'll judge how your world feels to play and give you up to 25 points for this category.
➡ Exploration (out of 10) – The actual design and layout of your island is important! How does your world feel to explore? Are there paths and landmarks to guide the player? Are there secrets to find for players who wander off the beaten path? Voxile has a big focus on exploration, and players should be rewarded for checking every corner of your island. We'll judge how it feels to navigate your island and give you up to 10 points for this category.
➡ Creativity (out of 10) – Finally, every island has the potential to be a unique experience. Does your theme stand out? How creatively are the assets and the level editor used? Are your quests and NPCs memorable? Does your island do something that nobody else did? We'll judge all of these details and give you up to 10 points for this category.

[h3]Note: This competition is completely free to enter and the Voxile demo is available for free during the entire duration of this event![/h3]

How to Submit: Email [email protected] with the following information:
• First and Last Name.

Hello everyone!

[h2]Voxile will enter Early Access in the first half of 2025![/h2]

Many of you found our game earlier this year in Steam Next Fest under the name Voxlands. Due to some legal name trademarking issues, Voxlands has been renamed Voxile! All of our worlds take place on their own separate islands, so the name comes from a combination of voxel and isle.

[h3]We are also excited to announce a Kickstarter going live in January! [/h3]
With the Kickstarter (click here to follow us over there!), you can help shape the direction of the game, get some cool physical merch, and even help design some of the elements we put into the game. We will also be launching a shiny, new demo on Steam alongside our Kickstarter that everyone will have access to in January.


During the Kickstarter, we will be running a Create-A-World Competition that anyone is free to join using our in-game world editor! We will have some massive prizes for the winners, and we’ll be back here to announce more details in the future.


Since our Steam Next Fest appearance, we have been hard at work on gameplay, engine, and level editor development. We’ll have a few future updates to show off what we have been working on between now and Early Access launch.

Please leave us a Wishlist, it really does help us. And leave a follow on our Kickstarter to stay up to date on when it will launch and the Create-A-World Competition.

We are super excited to be able to launch in Early Access next year. Our Early Access will be filled with a lot of development, and we want to take input from our players on what features they want to see next or improvements for our editor. You can also join our Discord where you can talk with us whenever about Voxile!

Stay tuned!
