The wall destruction looks just a little bit wrong, but it still is awesome, mostly people just uses simple boxes, or boxes with breakable joints, but this looks more realistic, and i am sure that it would be even better at the end.
I am starting to feel that when this game will get out, it will become a big hit.
Good luck!

I've read the paper and checked videos, but I couldn't find a video with the wall. A link will be appreciated!

I hope that David will put new videos, but about the game, like showing more about the animations and stuff, plus the effect (Water, shadows, ect).

The wall destruction thing reminds me of a game called Operation Cleaner 2.

If the resolution was increased (ie, smaller blocks but more of them in the same space) and some directional forces were added, it would look exceptionally awesome. But I'm assuming that's what David already had in mind.

Maybe make the wall not make all from one size blocks, but after shooting it, it creates a new physical body, i think it would aether look better, and also work faster (See Sumotori)

The wall is nowhere near done, and what it is showing there is the underlying physics model, not the part that is meant to be visible to the player. It was up there just to test out youtube video uploading. When it is done I will post it on the blog

Umm... Hello? Why it's so quiet and dark here?

*MEGABUMP FOR NO REASON*

I don't think it's a megabump, only if this topic has been went down to other pages, this is probably a bump for a forum i guess.
Anyway, sorry .

This reminds me of Assassin's Creed's ragdolls that tremble and deliberately move their arms and legs in pain. It looked really cool, but they were just twitchy ragdolls that only happened when you knocked them out or beat them down. David's Ragdolls are able to react when lifted upside down and dropped. That is so awesome.

Well, he is using his own Physics Engine.
With all this i can say - total success!

Some more physics stuff. I am incorporating ODE for standard rigid body physics of the kind you see in games that use Havok or PhysX: stacks of crates, crates of apples, and other situations with lots of simple colliding rigid bodies. I am a lot more interested in special soft physics like in characters, cloth, or plants, but rigid body physics are becoming standard so we might as well support them as well The existing engine could already handle rigid bodies, but it was not as efficient.

UN UPDAET LOLWOWOMFG!

Hehe... you forgot the music... It could have been Ode to Joy or something ironic like that...

I like ODE, just been playing a few freeware games that incorporated ODE. It's a great engine, and it doesn't slow down my crappy 1.6GHz at all. Just a little commentary on it for people who have never some across ODE before.

Either PPC processors deliver more power for their Ghz or my 1.4 Ghz iBook G4 sucks ass. Considering it runs several things (Like Jedi Academy) as smooth as a baby's bottom most of the time (Never before have I seen such a low-performance gem of graphical quality!) I think it may be the former.
