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!

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

Today I tackled drawing different variations of facial expressions for one of the main characters in Eden. What do you think of it? :) Eden: https://gamejolt.com/games/Eden/592698

not the greatest house, but it's a house! :D

OK, this starts to be too tricky puzzle already :D
