Volumes of Fun is an independent games development outfit run by David and Matt Williams. For a number of years we’ve been developing and promoting voxel technology in our spare time. Our PolyVox engine was released as open source in 2006, but it was only with the recent interest in voxel-based games (thanks Minecraft!) that we decided to actually produce a game ourself.

We both work full time so we are limited in terms of how much time we have to spend on this, but are very pleased with what we have managed to achieve so far. We really hope that our first game, Voxeliens, can be the start of something big. Please support us and follow us on our journey!
