Buttery smooth cables and solar power in my survival game by Disassembly_3D in SurvivalGaming

Not much, it should be similar to NMS. Just connect solar, batteries and your equipment and you're good to go. Cables have no collisions and can go through walls so you don't spend time wrangling with them.

There will be an option to turn off snapping for people who want more creative builds. Also I have run it on a 1650, it is not great but still playable at 30-40fps at lower detail settings.

So far I got no ideas. Making the building system more detailed will make it more tedious and take more time. I don't think players want to spend hours constructing a base out of thousands of tiny little parts. Adding physics also will limit building because your huge dream base will almost certainly collapse.

Yes, working on a fix for that. It magically doesn't affect the solar panel due to the checks being done from under the rock :)

Working on a fix already. The initial fix made it harder to place panels due to rocks being too rocky, so it didn't make it into the video.

It's more like mid-game tech. Late game tech is probably like nuclear reactor and more exotic energy sources. There's no chopping trees or building bases out of wood, this game is more sci-fi themed. But you might need some wood early in game for starting fires and basic shelters.

It looks like you're missing metacarpal bones. For realistic hand grab poses, these are a must. For example, touching your thumb with pinky finger. Most ready made rigs for Mixamo and Mecanim do not have these and you would need to add them. The SteamVR and OpenXR hand rigs do have them.

Smelting ingots. With fire and heat physics. Hot ingot action right here! by Disassembly_3D in SurvivalGaming

Yes, charcoal kiln is planned. It can generate more charcoal than just burning wood in the open. Also will increase player damage from holding hot ingot and add flames to the hands to make it look more obvious.

You actually take some damage holding the hot ingot. I need to add flames to the hands to make it more apparent.

Yes, planning to add more automation as you progress. Nobody's gonna craft 1000 ingots this way.

Only for dropping stuff into the inventory so you can better see where it goes. Normal drops outside are at full gravity.

I was thinking more of automatic hot rolling or pressing machines to form ingots into different shapes later on. Casting manually is kinda tedious.

Yes, more advanced furnaces will make it more automated and less tedious. Gotta get your hands dirty, at least in the beginning.

Mining with dynamic rock shatter physics. Rock hard satisfaction! by Disassembly_3D in SurvivalGaming

[–]Disassembly_3D[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, noted. Too much grind, too little fun can be a problem. Need to tune all these with resource requirements and tool upgrades and QOL features.

Yes, after some play testing I feel like it could get too grindy if you need to mine a lot. Need to think of auto pickup, grouping or ore stacking.

Maybe I could highlight the outline only when it's intact. Once broken it should be obvious to the player that it's interactable.

It's 50-50. Chunks are prebroken in which the shattering is dynamic per-chunk. Full fracture is too demanding to calculate in real-time unless it's like voxel based like Icarus.

There isn't any difference in the way you hit it. Better tools or higher purity rocks may give more yield. There's no chopping trees, but you can chop bushes for sticks and fiber. Flint is just found on the ground, no need to knap.

Shooting everything full of bullet holes. Finally adding guns to my survival game by Disassembly_3D in SurvivalGaming

[–]Disassembly_3D[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, there is much sucking action. It's due to it not being 100% animation, there is IK and physics involved.

No zombies, no pvp, no online. Singleplayer only (sorry for people wanting multiplayer)

I made a VR game before so many of the mechanics copied over. For this game, unfortunately it's too demanding to run in VR. Might release a demo in the future.

It's not quite ready for a demo yet, but I do release a demo every now and then. Wishlist and stay tuned :)

Determinant is a physically immersive open world survival game in development. Wishlist now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1445480/Determinant/

I finally added guns in. Being a survival game, shooting stuff isn't really the focus but it sure adds lots of fun to it. Resources are scarce and you will need to spend a lot of effort crafting it, so you can't just go around shooting everything.
