cubyz

Cubyz is an open-source 3D voxel sandbox game inspired by Minecraft, focusing on unique gameplay mechanics and technical optimizations. Written primarily in the Zig programming language, the project was originally created in 2018 as a Java-based game called "Cubz" before being rewritten in Zig starting in August 2022 by its current maintainer, IntegratedQuantum. Key Features: - Level of Detail (LOD): Enables incredibly far render distances. - 3D Chunks: Removes traditional height and depth limits, allowing fully 3D voxel environments. - Procedural Crafting: Offers infinite possibilities for tool crafting. The game supports Windows and Linux operating systems, though macOS is not supported due to the requirement of OpenGL 4.3. Users can easily run the game by downloading precompiled releases, compiling from source code using simple shell/batch scripts, or cloning the repository and running `zig build run` if Zig is installed. The project welcomes contributions for code, gameplay design, and content additions through dedicated guidelines, and maintains community channels like Discord and YouTube devlogs for updates.
