Craftica

Craftica is a creative sandbox game built around voxel construction. You can make buildings, machines and other objects using deformable voxels and subvoxels at multiple scales, and build circuits that control electronic and mechanical devices.

Build with voxels

Voxels are full cubes, while subvoxels are partial cubes with one or more corners removed. Hammer tools let you make both types more or less rounded, allowing you to create smooth objects and represent fine structures at scales comparable to the real world. Subvoxels also smooth procedurally generated terrain and terrain or objects imported from Minecraft Schematic files.

The game includes standard structures in East Asian architectural styles. You can place blocks and items using consistent operations, or use rule-based placement: when an item is placed near another object, a predefined rule can determine its position and orientation. Crafting takes place directly in the scene using structural formulas.

Build devices

Craftica includes mechanical and electronic device items for making circuits and machines controlled by circuits. Circuits simplify real-world designs: components connect physically, are mainly powered by electricity, and operate through data exchanges. Starting with items such as logic gates, you can build circuits and objects including vehicles, aircraft, robots and computers.

Villages and trade

Some locations in Craftica’s worlds contain villages with a few houses, at least one workshop, at least one defensive fort or tower, and at least one warrior to defend them. Each village has an affinity toward the player, ranging from neutral to friendly or hostile. Affinities are initialized randomly; normally there are more neutral villages than friendly ones, and more friendly villages than hostile ones. The percentages can vary with the game mode and difficulty.

At certain positive affinity levels, you gain free access to some village structures and storage, with different thresholds for different locations. At certain negative levels, village warriors actively attack you. Trading with villagers or defending a village from hostile mobs improves affinity, while attacking villagers worsens it.

Survival and development

In survival mode, barbarians and other hostile mobs appear and attack both you and villages. To survive, you must fight back or run. The game also has creative mode and an experimental development mode, where you can import external models into the game world.

When creating a new game in development mode, you can import Minecraft Schematic files; only .schematic files are supported. Within a game, you can import .obj 3D model files.
