By last part, when buggy jumps in desert and yiu see driver’s legs running under the car... just loved it. I wonder what could happen to a car if launching in with my servo catapults 😍😍 very excited by this game
Legs, what legs? Nothing to see here, move along. Haha yes, at some point I need to focus back on the player character, put in proper animations and so on. But until then he'll have to continue doing his Fred Flintstone impression...
Big and good work for 1 man my friend! I think if you add to the game gimbal drive or simply hinges (swivel joint) with a choice of parameters, the game even in this form will be one of the best in the world of such sandboxes.
Damn, despite some similar sounds, some of them and mostly the scrapping ones (0:25) sounds so cool Wonder if different materials would make a difference in these crashes or even have their own sounds
Yes, different materials have different strengths (some break easier than others), and they have different impact and sliding sounds. The sounds are placeholder for now which might be why they all sound a bit samey.
Thanks! I use joints for hinges, sliders etc. but parts that are rigidly attached together are merged into a single rigidbody (and split into separate rigidbodies when they break apart).
Unfortunately no, not really. As I understand it, BeamNG uses a form of soft-body physics with, as you say, a system of interconnected beams and nodes. Whereas GearBlocks uses the more traditional rigid-body physics. I guess the closest I could get would be to make each part its own rigidbody and connect them together with fixed (but slightly springy) constraints. However, that would heavily impact physics performance, as there would be a lot more rigidbodies and constraints to evaluate.
That's on my list of things I'd like to implement eventually (specifically: physics support for water buoyancy & drag, and water rendering). If I do get the chance to do it, it likely wouldn't happen until after the initial early access release of the full game (which is still a way off).
@@GearBlocks thank you, very good work you've done so far. i actually looked for this game because i got frustrated with unstable physics (especially constraints) in gmod.

This is so cool! The game has so much potential.
Thanks! It's getting there, slowly!

Thank you sir! Yeah, the game's getting there gradually!
@@GearBlocks Good luck for this!

Yes and not only, sound pitch varies with piece size, so is kinda possibke create some sort of music instrument

@@cosiDIVerso Yeah, this idea had occurred to me too, you could create a sort of xylophone thing and use servos to activate the mallets!
Nice
Woooaaahhh!!! It's awesome! PS. 1:05 - we can finally build a tank and some bullets, haha.
Cheers! Yeah exactly, if your machine can fling objects around, it becomes a weapon of war with explosives. Boom!
Your work on this has been really impressive! Is every piece a rigidbody connected by a joint to allow those separations?
Thanks! I use joints for hinges, sliders etc. but parts that are rigidly attached together are merged into a single rigidbody (and split into separate rigidbodies when they break apart).
This is better Than scrap mecanic
Very kind, thanks! There's a lot more coming in the full game too, I can't wait to reveal it!
GearBlocks cool :))
you should add era Dynamics to the game please
why are the blocks in this game held together by glue?
Would it be possible to have a system of beam and nodes like in beamNG? So the parts can deform too?
Unfortunately no, not really. As I understand it, BeamNG uses a form of soft-body physics with, as you say, a system of interconnected beams and nodes.

Man I wanna get this but I’m not sure if my system can run it
What are your system's specs? CPU? Video card?
GearBlocks very shitty laptop um intel i3 2.4ghz 4gb ram and intel hd graphics 😭
is there any way i can get my hands on a dev version? that would be really awesome!
Sorry, not yet, I'm still working on getting it ready for early access release!
GearBlocks cool cant wait for early access!
Where is it
Can u tell me where I can download this app??
Check out the video description.
I think it needs a bit improvent cuz in real life a buggy could have made the jump with maybe a broken arm butt not sonething detaching itself lolz
This game need wedges soo badly
are you planning to add some watercraft features to the game?
That's on my list of things I'd like to implement eventually (specifically: physics support for water buoyancy & drag, and water rendering). If I do get the chance to do it, it likely wouldn't happen until after the initial early access release of the full game (which is still a way off).
@@GearBlocks thank you, very good work you've done so far. i actually looked for this game because i got frustrated with unstable physics (especially constraints) in gmod.
When the game is released will it cost money
Yep, that's the plan. I don't have an exact price yet, but it'll be in line with other similar games.
GearBlocks sounds good, thanks for the quick reply too
wait, u developed this game by your own?
Yep, just me. Suffice to say, it's a lot of work!
