PlayForm is out now on Steam! We look forward to everyone playing the game! :) The blue guy, named Stan, is a physically simulated character, also known as an "active ragdoll". An active ragdoll is basically a ragdoll with motor skills: He is constantly figuring out what muscular
PlayForm is coming to Steam July 27th 2022! After celebrating, Stan decided to have some fun at his local Waterpark! To make flowing water for the waterslide, we placed several water volumes along the length of the slide. Then we can define the flow velocity for each volume in th
Created a Massive Real-Time Buoyancy Simulation that creates a water turbulence hazard for our Active Ragdoll. Water impacts also produce tessellated dynamic waves! We wrote a custom buoyancy simulation that can simulate the buoyancy and drag forces of hundreds of rigidbodies (in
I added water and swimming. By sampling from the velocity and height field of nearby water surfaces, the character calculates what forces to apply. You can feel the waves crashing into you as you swim through them! The character transitions to a swimming state depending on his cu
During development, I wanted to test how the character responded to moving surfaces. The easiest solution seemed to be to create a rotating hollow cylinder as it had a constant predictable velocity, but kept the player contained within it. Turns out, it is also a lot of fun to me
When making the procedural climbing system, I wanted to ensure that Stan (our physically simulated human) could climb and grab on to both moving objects and complex surfaces. Once he reaches the top, he can vault over it without any additional effort by the player. I also made it
Some more progress on development, we improved grabbing people in the game. Thanks for watching our development progress and your comments! Subscribe on Youtube: Follow us on Twitter:
