What a crazy, exhausting year! Definitely bruised but not down, and we're brewing a bunch of exciting things to kick off next year!
Now I'm taking 3 weeks off social media to recenter on my loved ones and self-care, see you next year ๐Ÿ’–

I'd say obfuscating content size, typically removing list of collectibles/achievement lists - and on a larger viewpoint I think those are fundamentally anticozy - focusing on the organic engagement rather than list of objectives

Nice, which also answers the threshold problem right? Cause the metal crate is studier that the wood barricade so all collisionReceivers can tell how much they can take. Sorry I'm getting way to intellectually involved in your game lmao

It's really enticing! Idk if it'd work for you but I like to have someone drive the collision like player->crate but if you have other moving agents each transmits impulse to the other but not to itself so each moving object handle the impact it's responsible for

I had the same exact question and was pretty happy when using relative velocity (mass adjusted or not) also i think using pure mass isn't super useful because values are sometimes crazy tonget the proper physics you want, I prefer to have a custom multiplier for each object. How did you go about it?

It sucks that Game Engines are only meant for realistic/naturalistic rendering and no energy is put into empowering us to make the images we wanr, like it's 2024 and i still can't set a shadow color without coding my own shader
