Precursor - Destruction Tech (Dev Interview Excerpt)

A showcase of the tech behind the building destruction in Precursor (alien invasion simulator) with the developer Jan Orszulik, for a light on performance destruction system in a pixel art game. Quite useful for game developers or for anyone interested in the "behind the scenes" of such effects.

I like how the UFO looks at you with dissappointment. Good work.

[@Meninx87]

Noita with ufos and "realistic" setting? I'm in.

[@the.true.A]

comparating it to noita is a bit of a stretch lmao

[@En7my]

​@@the.true.Ahe's got a point that you seemed to miss though.
the simulation of physics based systems.

[@the.true.A]

@@En7my No I didn't miss that point lol, with that mindset any 2d game with any kind of physics ever is like noita. The physics between these two games arent even similar, noita has a very special physics system called "everything falling" which simulates everything in the game, the gas, the liquids, the solids. On the other hand this game has a much simpler and preset style of physics with rigged joints calculating everything, and the fact that only buildings/trees have real physics also matters

[@En7my]

@@the.true.A I know about all that, it's precisely the reason for such a specific comparison..
You're no better or wiser than anyone, bud, so it'd be best for you to go your own separate way and leave the conversation. Cheers.

[@the.true.A]

@@En7my I never said im better than anyone lol? Sorry you just ignored all my arguments and said "yea i know allat but you wrong", truly outstanding behaviour, cheers

[@GalaxyHighMarshal]

Honestly I can't wait to play this game, love the art and destruction. I loved noita destruction, so I'd definitely love this!

check out cortex command

[@eugenisgaztambide187]

Wow! Looks awesome🎉

[@rebornxx]

pretty nice!

[@dudearlo]

verlet integration is really fast to calculate :D
the original Hitman 2 Silent assassin used it for its ragdolls :]
not super realistic but very very satisfying

[@mr_jiblets7731]

This looks neat!

[@enderking4040]

Cool
