Soft Bodies Revisited


I’ve been rewriting some of the architecture behind the soft bodied bacteria in the game and decided to share some some of the results with you guys

A bit of history first: I’ve redesigned the soft body system probably around a dozen times, and I’ve never been too happy with the results I’ve gotten.
This time, however, I think I have one of the most versatile and stable results I’ve had so far. I managed to build a system where I can change almost any property of the soft body in real-time and without breaking any of the physics (yay editor scripting!).

I can easily change stuff like the verticies,

and the size of the bacteria

But also any other property that controls the behavior of the soft-body to create some very different results (spring frequency, damping, mass etc.)

Stay tuned for more cool stuff, and as promised a demo build is right around the corner.
Til next time!

Enemies can also suddenly spawn through Realm Rifts. These Rift Spawns are going to be stronger than the ones wandering around. TBD on the enemies... #screenshotsaturday #godstear #madewithunity

I was bored, so... ManutKat.

Heya! I wanted to show some gameplay progress i made so far. I hope you like it ^^

A house I've built a while ago. :)

It nicely separates the snowy biome from the grassy one.

It's built with painted Ebonstone.
