The game is made in Godot Engine 3, with many custom-made technologies that enable a fully destructible environment, fluid simulation and dynamic lighting. We knew that we needed custom modifications for destructible terrain, dynamic lightning, and support for thousands of swarm monsters. You can find it on Steam and GOG.

Fixed the issue where the selected texture layer could not be painted again after reselecting the terrain node, and the texture layer needed to be switched to paint. Fixed the issue where the terrain editing information was lost after entering prefab editing and returning to the scene.

SnowRunner is an interesting simulation game that allows players to drive powerful vehicles over rough terrain while they deliver goods to different locations. However, many players have complained about a sudden FPS drop in the game which may result in stuttering, lag, or even constant freezing.

In order to solve this problem, we use an algorithm similar to Bresenham's line algorithm, which had been implemented in Bullet by Zylann , a Godot contributor who is also behind the Godot Heightmap Terrain plugin. This can be used for cloth simulation, deformable objects, and more. Multi-threaded physics simulation.

I would never have bet on a ultra-detailed dwarf simulator using ASCII art. With Offworld Trading Company, because the game had random maps, each game started with a short exploration phase where you scan the map and found your colony with only part of the terrain revealed. Certainly, that can be said for video games.

The adrenaline of managing a colossal truck while facing unpredictable Alaskan terrains is simply exhilarating. Interesting fact about the Alaskan Road Truckers not launching : Did you know that many simulation games, like Alaskan Road Truckers, often face launch issues right after major updates?

Most of the teams have accepted new reality and are preparing to make the most out of uncertain terrain. At the same time, trying to build new tooling now while so much is still up in the air can lead to simply redoing everything later. The fact that most MMPs have various approaches is definitely worrying.

TGGW is a linear dungeon, but backtracking to visit certain dungeon features is quite useful at times, so it also includes a convenient map list accompanied by the characters for notable features at that depth--NPCs, stairs, teleporters, mechanical valves, terrain that might contain something… (there is also a key elsewhere on the UI).

Game Design Advice

I want to know if there is some specific structural quality that is shared by Chess and Go and Poker and Bridge and Magic: the Gathering, some recognizable topological feature of their state space terrain. And if there is then I want to see it, and be able to talk about it and reason about its ramifications. What depth isn’t.

all drawings by Eleanor Davis "We Dwell in Possibility" (WeDIP) is a new queer gardening simulation game about planting bodies and ideas, and watching them grow into a kinetic landscape. It's a zoomed out perspective, it's not immersive, it's a simulation. Naked simulated AI people ("peeps") arrive and flow across the terrain.

Longtime readers may remember my white working class British masculinity simulator Hard Lads , so I'm certainly not unsympathetic to this premise. see: "CRT Simulation in Super Win the Game" ). A homophobic English farmboy is forced to work with a hunky Romanian farmhand, and so inevitable muddy fight sex and simmering romance ensues.
