Voxels .

Voxels, or the-artist-formerly-known-as-cryptovoxels, is one of my Omega projects - a virtual world that I've been building in various forms for the past 40 years. It is a 3d world where you can spend time in a virtual space with people who are far away. It's like inviting people into your bedroom, but you can make them leave instantly by mashing command-w. It's for introverts who are ocassionally extroverted, and artists who like real space. It's also for people who believe that creators should own what they make, and that platforms are servants to their customers, not the lords-of-enshittification. (A lot of voxels users complained that I was the lord of enshittification during 2022-2024, but that is because I had a stress induced breakdown and couldnt code properly for a while, not because I was trying to make the product worse to make more money, I just sucked at programming for a bit) Anyway where was I. Voxels is a virtual world. It was (and is?) unique because: * The land records are stored on the blockchain * You can sell your parcels, or gift them, or burn them * It has no login * It loads in a web browser and doesnt need an app * It was originally built by one dude with no VC money * Mark Zuckerberg renamed his company to compete with us and failed and then he gave up * It uses voxels (or as the great Mikalo Lysenko calls then - Orthogonal Polytopes) for all the things * I made it * Lots of people use it This is one of my more succesful projects. Every day I look at it, and I think, god that's a shit website, god you suck Ben, what are you doing you incompotent boob. And then on the occasional friday I'll have a beer and wander through the world without my judgey face and I think: "This is amazing. Ben what on earth did you build you wonderful boob".
