We knew Torus had been working on a voxel engine for the Gameboy Advance a short while ago, but they've just put out a press release with more details. I'm going to have to quote an article quoting the press release (I don't have the press release myself)..
"The team from Torus Games, responsible for producing the world's best First Person Shooter engine for Nintendo Game Boy? Advance, is now bending its amazing talents towards producing a world first ? a fast, powerful 3-D engine for the handheld console.The 3-D system incorporates voxels (volumetric pixels) and allows full 3-D exterior environments. This allows players to break away from predefined paths and explore any part of the environment they wish! Rolling hills, sloping roads, dangerous cliffs ? they?re all there for the player to discover. What it spells to players is freedom. What it spells to the industry is an opportunity for new realism and fun in games!"
