Coloring Voxels News

[p]There's just over 2 weeks until the launch of Coloring Voxels! Make sure you have the 15th of August marked on your calendars and count down the days with us until the release of the best Coloring game this decade![/p][p]As a part of the countdown, we will be hosting activities and competitions in our Community Discord for the entire week up to release, so make sure you join our Discord to get involved.[/p][p]*A full breakdown of activities will be announced on the 8th of August[/p][p][/p][p]As you are likely aware, the game is releasing with a total of 7 unique worlds, each made up of 16 different levels! This will provide you with an estimated 20 hours of free gameplay, and that's not including New Game+! [/p][p]But what happens when you've played every level and are looking for more? Well, don't worry! Just like Coloring Pixels and our other titles hexceed and WooLoop, we plan to release a new DLC every month! As part of our commitment to the game, we can also confirm today that we will do so for at least the next 12 months![/p][p]Starting in August, we will release a new, themed DLC every 3rd Friday of the month. That's on top of the monthly Coloring Pixels DLC, which we schedule for the second Friday of each month. As always, there are a couple of exceptions:[/p]

• [p]August 2025's additional content to launch on Friday, the 29th, since it is the launch month for Voxels.[/p]
• [p]December's world is likely to shift due to the holiday season.[/p]

[p]= DLC Release Day[/p][p][/p][h2]Pricing[/h2][p]Each DLC will be priced at $1.99/£1.69 (or your regional equivalent). [/p][p]This has been a tough decision for us. We would prefer to offer the DLC at the lowest price Steam allows, like we have previously prided ourselves on. That being said, we are satisfied with this pricing choice as it helps cover the additional costs we have been facing over the past couple of years. Despite being a small indie team, we are subject to things changing that are out of our control, such as the rise in inflation making everything more expensive. We are also aware of the additional development time these DLC worlds require in comparison to our previous titles. Hopefully, this price point will support us for many years to come.[/p][p][/p][p]This is the first time in seven years of DLC that we have raised our prices. It is very important to us that our games are accessible to everyone, and keeping the game free-to-play and DLC prices affordable is one of the ways we can achieve this. We want people to be able to sell a couple of Steam trading cards and choose their favourite themed DLC out of a selection to play if needed.[/p][p][/p][p]We are also happy to confirm today that we will be hosting monthly giveaways in our Discord for each DLC release. Just like we do with Coloring Pixels and WooLoop, we give away 5 keys to winners selected randomly by a Discord bot in our server! It is free to enter, so another reason for you to join the community and chat with like-minded players![/p][p][/p][h2]The DLC Theme Selection Process...[/h2][p]"But what themes will we be seeing in Coloring Voxel DLCs?"[/p][p]That's a great question, imaginary person, and one we don't know either! [/p][p][/p][p]We'll probably make Halloween and Christmas-themed worlds in October and December, respectively, as we love these themes in both Coloring Pixels and WooLoop, so we will likely continue that tradition here. Other than that, the DLC themes are entirely up to you, the community. [/p][p][/p][p]We will be using the same established method we use for Coloring Pixels and WooLoop for you to suggest, vote on, and ultimately choose what DLC we will make.[/p]

1. [p]Suggest an idea, either here on Steam, via Email, on our Discord or any other way you can contact us.[/p]
2. [p]All the suggestions get listed on our Discord for you to react to/vote on.[/p]
3. [p]Every month, the top 5 voted suggestions get sent to our Patreons for them to make the final vote on which of the 5 we will be making next.[/p]

[p]The first of the Polls is live now on our Patreon and ends in 3 days! (03/08/2025) Get involved! Some of the best DLC we have made in our last 7 years as a company have been suggested by and voted on by the community.[/p][p][/p][p]And that's (almost) it for now! You can continue to follow along with our development here on Steam, in Discord and with our Weekly Dev Vlogs. [/p][p][/p][p]In the meantime, look out for news on the upcoming activities, a brand new game trailer and a Coloring Voxels competition where you can get your own voxel art in the game![/p][p][/p][p]Until then, please remember to add Coloring Voxels to your Steam Wishlist; this is the best way to support our game until release. Thank you! 💖[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]With love, the ToastieLabs team

[p]The soundtrack to Coloring Voxels will launch alongside the launch of the game in just over 3 weeks' time! [/p][p][/p][p]50 Unique tracks with a combined run time of over 2 hours! Sit back and relax to the calming, relaxing music from Coloring Voxels. Keeping to the theme of Coloring Pixels, the music is all piano-based and custom-made for the game and available to use for any content creators without risk of copyright claims![/p][p][/p][p]Releasing on the 15th of August for $3.99/£3.39 or your regional equivalent. The soundtrack is a great addition to purchase some music whilst supporting the devs![/p][p][/p][h2]Wishlist now![/h2][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]

[p]A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by during the Steam Next Fest! We had a great time here at ToastieLabs with our live broadcasts on Steam and with the ongoing chats with you over in our Discord server.[/p][p](If you missed any of the livestreams and would like to catch up on what you missed, you can find all of the recordings on our YouTube channel to watch at your convenience.)[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Over 2000 of you played the game demo, which absolutely blows us away! Thank you all so much for your interest and interaction with Coloring Voxels. We are just as excited as you are to see the development progress from now until release in only a couple of months![/p][p]The Demo consisted of a single world (Volcano), which is made up of 16 levels. The overall feedback on the world design was your enjoyment of the art aesthetic, and we couldn't be happier with your kind words. 💖[/p][p]Once again, your interest and interaction with Coloring Voxels are better than we could ever ask for. Here is a cool, detailed breakdown of the players and wishlists from the Next Fest week. [/p][p][/p][p]Over 10% of the players who tested the game demo added it to their wishlists, which is a great conversion rate, especially considering that over 5,000+ of you already had Coloring Voxels on your wishlists before the demo was live.[/p][p]This boost in wishlists has taken us ever closer to our ambitious 7,000-10,000 wishlists goal. Thank you again, and make sure to follow along with the development from here to launch in August to stay up-to-date with the game![/p][p]You can even see the boost Next Fest had on the overall wishlists graph![/p][p][/p][p]It's all hands on deck to get the game ready for the August launch date. The first thing we're working on is a robust game editor so we can all get involved with a more streamlined and efficient method of importing, testing and fixing the game levels. [/p][p]Once this is in place, we have more worlds and levels to make, QA and get ready for release, and there are a lot of features and fixes for our programmer, Rob, to implement. [/p][p]A huge thank you to all of you who submitted reports and gave feedback on your experience. We have been taking it all on board and are using it to prioritise what we are implementing into the game.[/p][p]In addition to adding the already promised features, such as graphics settings and improved performance. We have digested all of the feedback to create a prioritised list of tasks to work through. From a couple of bug reports to features and settings you would like to see, we will do our best to get as much in for launch as possible.[/p][p]Your Feedback Additions:[/p]

• [p]Mouse sensitivity settings.[/p]
• [p]Keyboard controls.[/p]

[p]Known Bugs/Issues:[/p]

• [p]Potential AFK issue when the level is completed.[/p]

[p]This is just some of the more mentioned parts of the list. Please note that these suggestions are on top of our pre-existing commitment to add many of the settings you can already find in Coloring Pixels. We want to ensure that everyone from Coloring Pixels will feel at home in the sequel, even if you have some strange config set up. [/p][p]We are constantly looking for feedback to act upon, so if you have any more suggestions, please let us know! [/p][p]It's not too long to go for the launch of the game!
