Voxeloids: Miner Wars' "Killer" Features
Miner Wars 2081 is an astonishing thing, really. It's a freeform mining, trading, and building game, based around the mining of vast voxel asteroids - and that can be accessed now at a sort of tech-demo level by preordering, with the full game due in the Spring - but it's also going to be an MMO, which will apparently arrive in the Winter of next year. Yes, I can hardly believe it either, but that's the plan. I've had a few glances at the steadily updated alpha client over the past year, and the work is certainly continuing apace, and you can see some of that in the awesomely narrated trailer, below. There's apparently going to be a public demo before long, too, so we'll keep an eye out for that. I suspect that this could be one of those games that really rewards a community getting involved, or at least it will be when that multiplayer aspect of it opens up. The satisfaction of chomping up asteroids and fighting off privateers as a group could be quite something.
