Teardown Is Stunning: Next-Generation Physics + Lighting!

Respect to the developer for that achievement which hopefully gives the old polygon dominated game industry some fresh ideas. Later have been stuck for years with polygon based graphics and physics development. Every year new versions of such games were presented without much progress. A Revolution is needed and that new milestone of tech looks very interesting. It is even much more impressive due to the fact just one developer made it. For sure there is still much optimization needed. If i may suggest some points. I know OpenGL is still nice for many things. But for such data intense projects the successor Vulkan is highly recommended. It has less data overhead and has multiplatform support as well. With that api some additional features like second or multibounce light reflections for raytracing might be affordable. I appreciate all the hard work and Salam to you

[@CaveyMoth]

It's amazing, but I just kinda wished that planks of wood behaved like planks of wood, instead of blocks of wood stuck together..if that makes sense.

[@charoleawood]

Yeah, real wood tears, twists, and splinters, it doesn't crumble and neither does metal, and glass is supposed to splinter and shatter. That whole objects aren't pushed around in this game is also disappointing, rather you puncture pieces of objects and those pieces move. However, smoke, fire, and foam were all very cool to see here.

[@TexelGuy]

@@charoleawood I don't think you can really do tearing and twisting of wood materials in a game with voxels only. It wouldn't look right even if you tried to simulate it. I think this is the best you can do when you're dealing with large blocks instead of geometry basically. It doesn't feel that bad when you play it, the sound effects make breaking wood and glass really satisfying.

[@charoleawood]

​@@TexelGuy I don't mean to undermine the accomplishment, I think the smoke, foam, and fire propagation are all really cool, but the industry as a whole has needed to focus on better materials simulation for a long time but such simulation has been kicked to the curb in favor of focusing on static, realistic LOOKING (not interacting) worlds, materials, and characters. Certainly the onus for realistic materials simulation (and for objects working believably as whole objects rather than as collections of voxels, one expects barrels to be pushed, not punctured like they're made of a single thin layer of old rust) does not rest on the shoulders of one individual pioneer in game development. And I DO think that voxels can be arranged in twisted patterns, just check out the fun that can be had with magnets and iron fillings.

Impressive - but if theres one thing that still needs a lot of improvement - it's game physics - not just in this game (this is one of the better examples as it happens) but all games. We're rapidly approaching - in computer graphics terms - the reality boundary - where we can't get more real than reality - but where almost every game still fails dismally is in applying real world physics to the virtual world. Either - as is the case with most simulated objects in games - they just dont have a physics layer or the physics properties and simulation is really quite primitive - and clearly fake to the onlooker. Maybe its just too computationally intensive - but physics is fast becoming the next major hurdle we have to cross in virtual world development. Maybe they'll find a way to put all those unused extra cores to work to help solve this problem.

Now that looks very interesting, there are a lot of construction games, but I've always been a destruction guy.

It’s astonishing how important lighting is in games to look realistic. Though this voxel world doesn’t have much details, there were scenes in this video which looked phenomenal and nearly photorealistic, because of lightning, particles and fog ( 7:28 and 7:36)

I played the game for a few days on a Lenovo Ideapad Y500 from 2013. Two GT 650m's, i7 3630qm. On the bare minimum settings, the game was reasonably playable, over 30FPS most of the time, with some severe drops when stuff was on fire, or during large collisions.

Very cool looking! Great video.

Using Screen Space to generate the color in reflections is genius. All games should do this from now on.

Oh yes! A game where I can release my anger. It looks fun as hell

[@lifeneedsmorechill]

Hell yes! Can't wait to run this on my Intel HD graphics at 4k 60fps!
