Hi Everyone! Voxtober is finally here!!! Have you seen some of the great voxel creations being created already for Inktober? There are so many cool ideas for different themes going out. We definitely wanted to have something to join in on the fun this fall. We took a little longer than expected to have our next jam because we are hard at work on a new voxel app, but we made a quick jam for everyone to show off some of the great creations they made for Voxtober!
This year, the fall season and Halloween will be very different, but it can still be totally awesome. Lets show the world how cool it can be using voxels!
