Prototype Voxel World-Building Prototype Unity · C#

Expandica

A colourful voxel world-building prototype with editable terrain, settlement construction and an in-game inventory workflow.

Overview

Expandica is a systems-led prototype centred on building and reshaping a voxel landscape. Work shown here includes the playable settlement view, inventory and placement interactions, plus a custom world-editing workflow used to assemble terrain and biomes.

Development areas

▹Voxel terrain and settlements
▹Inventory and placement UI
▹Custom world editor
▹Day and night presentation

What I built

Created modular voxel assets and settlement pieces
Built inventory, selection and world placement interactions
Developed an editor workflow for assembling terrain and biomes
Explored day, night and lighting treatments for a readable voxel world

Key challenges

Maintaining a clear grid and scale across independently made assets
Reducing repetitive modelling through reusable modules
Keeping placement feedback readable against detailed terrain

Next steps

Formalise snapping and placement validation
Optimise repeated meshes for larger maps
Expand the building catalogue and resource loop
