Voxel Me This

Just curious about something with voxels.
I used to have an idea of a game like 3D Dot Heroes.
But are tablets and phones capable of handling that?
I’m not a phone gamer but so many people are so can’t ignore them…well I shouldn’t but I can if I want to.
And tablets does not mean only iPads.

Then the next question would be how to build the world in voxels.
Never ventured into it. Never liked Minecraft’s look, Not really my type of game.
3D Dot Heroes, never played but it jumped off the screen for me.
Is there an easy way of doing it or do I have to build 1 by 1.
Is there a way to build characters easier then block by block.

Just trying to get some questions of curiosity answered.

Yes, a tablet is capable of handling it easily, you can just model everything for a game like 3D dot game hero and make it seem like it is made of cubes, or most stuff unless you want the crumbling effect.

Crumble or shatter would be preferred

Not a piece of cake mind you

EDIT: you can change voxel size to whatever you need

There’s a million resources out there about this and how to best deal with it. There’s also some fairly famous threads in this forum about it. I haven’t read Myhijim’s stuff but the “After playing mincreaft” thread covers about everything.

Key point? Voxels mean nothing. Unless you’re talking rendering techniques specific to GPUs.

Have a look at Qubicle http://minddesk.com

They even have a Unity plugin that imports their voxel format and creates an optimised mesh. Plus they have a tutorial on how to create the 3D Dot Heroes look.
