More updates to ships that allows for sinking effects.

Posted by on

Once of the biggest concerns about the engine has been the lack of a 'sink' event to call on entities so to that effect we wrote a simple version that simply adds mass to the objects that I outlined in a previous video. As it adds more mass, the vessel becomes less stable and eventually it will exceed the buoyancy and take it underwater. The system will need a LOT of refinement and updates but the simplest version is available for developers to use for other effects and testing.

I love these constant updates. Very cool to see progress made on a weekly basis, not to mention learn the process of how games are made and how they're put together.
Really keep it up. I learn a lot from it, not to mention getting me re-excited for an already amazing-looking game every few days!
