Crushing Ragdolls in My Medieval Sandbox Game (devlog)

Play the demo: trickshotlabs.itch.io/siege-p...
In the devlog, I’m upping the stakes for the ragdoll foot soldiers....
Also I’ll be working on the visuals a little bit, improving the editor, and creating some levels for the demo.

-- UPDATES --
So I rewrote the majority of the code for the game over about a month and a half. Everything now uses an event system for communication, which helps eliminate dependencies and makes the code base more flexible, extensible, and reusable. Buildobject (the items you build with in the game) have a much more dynamic structure, making it much easier to create new buildobjects and add custom functionality. There’s also a new camera controller, which is still in progress, a totally new system for forming connections, and a new save/load level system. Some other random additions include tracking selected objects and the ability to edit multiple objects at a time. THere are still a few things I want to completely redo, like the inventory and the edit menu, but they work fine for now, so I’ll wait until after the demo is out to work on those.
-- GAME INFO --
Siege Physics is a 2D physics-based puzzle game I'm developing with the Unity 3D game engine. You are tasked with building siege engines to transport the ragdoll foot soldier across enemy territory. Fed up with his siege engine genius being ignored due to his low status in feudal society, our protagonist has decided to single-handedly take over kingdoms and stuff.
To play, drag objects from an inventory into the scene and connect them together. Press play to watch chaos ensue. Create catapults, trebuchets, vehicles, and much more!

I can seriously see a bunch of massive RUclipsrs playing this! Reminds me a lot of Happy Wheels! :D Keep up the great work! You clearly put a lot of effort into this video, and it definitely shows! :)

Wouldn’t that make it slow to reset?

I love the new color for the rag doll! Also love the implications of purple because purple dyes used to be super expensive to make so they were almost exclusively for nobility/royalty. Little guy is rich

[@TonsOfHunStudios]

Yes Sam is back! Love the new character sprite! The layering improvements with the editor are great as well, and I'm glad you considered that (I would have never thought haha). Adding breakable joints also fits very well and looks well done. Brings me back to the Happy Wheels days. Awesome progress!

[@RobLang]

I like how you used animation to make the hovers pop and your colour changes to the ragdoll make a big difference. I enjoyed the jolly music you put over the top at 7:00. Does that make me a bad person?

Not at all! At least not as bad as me...

[@brynshannon6692]

I had an idea for a part you could add to the game, though I don't blame you if it doesn't seem worth the effort:
Magnets.
These will magnetise the main character's head (because metal helmet) to them and force them to stick until... soooomething causes them to shut off. Probably by having limited power (with a short timer meter).
Edit: The character should flail helplessly while magnetised.
