Voxel resources

Tell me anything about the project you'd like to me to put in the post.

when you started Voxelman and why you chose D
which of D's features have been a real benefit and how
which features (or bugs) have caused you frustration or difficulties and how
what your ultimate goals are for the project.

Project history

Now, as the project grew up and my skills matured, my motivation has much less oscilations than at the beginning. I wanted to make a project like this for a couple of years (I beleive since I first played Minecraft Classic). I was thinking of cool things I can do and improve, clever optimization tricks and all the low-level stuff. But never written any real code.
