Hello!

Hah, thats a fun idea! I dont think we have a jackhammer melee style in Trove just yet :)

I think it could look much better with just a little bit more details and shading. There should be still some room available for adding voxels here and there. For example, the chisel could have a bit of an enlargement on the end, and the top part could have visible engine/valve/any imaginary mechanical device that would look good.

As for shading, voxel models are pretty much 3d pixelart so if everything is one color the model looks flat and boring. Making some parts lighter and some parts (where shadows fall) darker helps to sell the 'volume' of an object.

Also, it really is useful to check your creation in game, voxel editors do no provide identical to Trove visuals. Step 5 of this guide should be able to help you through that. https://trovesaurus.com/page=3749/how-to-get-started-with-trove-creations#step-5-preview-your-creation-in-trove . Once that is working, please grab a couple of screenshots of your designs and upload them here :)

Im going to change status of your creation to Active for now, set it back to Needs Review once you upload changes. If you would rather create something completely different - you could change the status of this one to Draft. That will hide it from the public list and will free up a slot for another creation.

In any case, good luck!
