I have just finished adding a bunch of new features to the game. This update contains:
Enjoy the update!
reminds me of the powder toy, pretty cool
I couldn’t join your game. Is it private?
No. It isn’t. Was there a message at the play button on the game page?
Let me try again, I will screenshot the message of it pops up.
Wait are you trying to join on mobile? Cause currently this game is only available for PC.
I do plan to add mobile pretty soon support though.
I have just finished implementing mobile support and some new features. This update contains:
Enjoy the update!
@Slymbiote here you go!
This is actually a super cool game! Nice job. it was really well made.
This is unbelievably… cool!
Very underrated, was surprised it only had 1k visits.
The game has received a massive update with heaps of new elements and features that are very fun to mess around with!
New Features:
Ambient Temperature Controller
There is now an ambient temperature system and textbox which lets you set the temperature of the world in your creation in degrees celsius (°C). Changing the ambient temperature will change or alter how elements behave (for example, setting the temperature below 0°C will freeze water and other elements and fire will become weaker) Currently, these values can span from -1000°C to 3000°C.
Hot Metal
Metal can now be heated up with fire, torch, other hot elements, and very high ambient temperatures to create heat up and create hot metal. Hot metal can ignite certain elements and boil/evaporate water which will create heaps of steam
Metal Corrosion and Rust
Metal can now become rusty and slowly break away via Salt Water.
Burnt Wood
Wood that has been set on fire and not completely burnt away, will leave burnt wood behind which isn’t as flammable as wood and has a darker appearance.
New Elements:
Salt Water [Liquid]: Behaves like water, but will slowly corrode and break away metal leaving rust behind
Snow [Powder]: A powder that will melt at 30°C or more
Wax [Solid]: A solid that melts at 60°C and will create liquid wax which can reharden if theres no heat around
Firework [Powder]: An object that can be lit via fuses or hot elements/temperatures which will launch the firework in the air an exploding shorty after.
Gas [Particle]: An long-lasting explosive gas that is highly flammable
Drain [Solid]: A solid element that will instantly remove most loose elements (such as powders and liquids)
Forget those “simulator [NEW PET]” games, this game is a true simulator.
VERY satisfiying game the gas and fire especially well made, also a tip generally oil settles ontop of water due to difference in density
This is impressive! The animations are realistic and fluid.
This version of the game introduces some interesting features which were put on hold for quite some time now:
Elements now have multiple colours!
This was possible due to me finally giving every particle in the scene their own properties (such as colours, extra data, etc). This will allow me to eventually implement things like velocity, timers, and other cool things to enhance and add new elements!
Added a ‘Square’ brush
Creating boxes and square shapes should now be much easier!
This version of the game contains a bunch of new features, physics and elements:
I decided to fix some things and slightly improve the performance of this game. I have also added a few other things too:
Performance improvements
Liquids now have different densities and each liquid will rise or sink when mixed
(for example, oil will rise to the top when mixed with water)
Added a hint textbox when you hover your mouse over elements in the toolbar.
This textbox will give you information on the element and what it does!
This is actually probably the best game I have ever seen! Gives me nostalgia from those pixel games I used to play in school lol.
One problem I have with this is that it is very laggy. I get around 30 fps with no slow-mo, and 45 fps on very high slow-mo.
If you can possibly optimize this, then this would be the game of the year lol.
EDIT:
Found a bug.
I was just playing around with this and it randomly stopped working after I added lava.
Improving performance is definitely my main priority at the moment. Hopefully we will be able to get a solid 50 or 60 FPS with heaps of liquids on screen.
Also I have just applied a bug fix with liquids and lava. Let me know if that fixed the issue
This update contains some needed optimisations and some new elements:
Added Lightning (Element)
Added Rain Cloud (Element)
Added Thunder Cloud (Element)
Added a simple graphics mode
(heavily improves performance and framerate)
Greatly optimised the gameplay by implementing a chunk-based sleeping system
Fixed the element toolbar not adjusting scrolling distance correctly
Fixed up some misalignment in the text on the UI
You should now be able to mostly get a solid 50 FPS to 60 FPS when messing around in the game normally.
Enjoy!
