Mek Entertainment’s upcoming 16-bit voxel MMO, Voxelnauts, is very mysterious at the moment. We don’t know much about it and the details are very sketchy. However, we do know that a brand new starting character has been revealed.

Founder of Mek Entertainment, Mark Kern, tweeted out an image of one of the new starting characters that’s featured in the main image above. You can also check out the full version of the image below.

Okay, so instantaneously I’m reminded of Edge of Space. The space suit looks very similar to the early starting suits in Edge of Space. Then again, I’m going by the earlier builds of the game so I have no idea if Handyman Studios has completely overhauled how the newb suits look. But from what I remember they were very similar to the image above.

For gamers curious about what Voxelnauts is about, there’s a teaser trailer that reveals absolutely nothing other than a look at how the voxel blocks may look in the game. You can check it out below.

The 3D 16-bit aesthetic could be real nice… real nice. It looks like something along the lines of Fez if Phil Fish didn’t choke on the phallic rod of justice after being filleted by Camera Lady in the alleged racketeering exposè.

If the game is a mix of Fez meets Edge of Space or Fez meets Starbound then I’m all in. We could definitely use more games like that. Also 16-bit voxel games are kind of a rarity, there’s definitely a lot of 8-bit-influenced voxel, but it seems like a lot of developers got stuck there.

Anyway, you can keep an eye on the advancement of Voxelnauts by paying a visit to the official Mek Entertainment website. I’m definitely curious to see more of the title when the info and assets become available.
