working on a game called Busted Metal.

@Lowtrippy Cool style ❤️

[BigguyDev @BigGuyCode]

@BloodstockGame Looks quite great so far. Best of luck in development

[BigguyDev @BigGuyCode]

@playdefect Damn this looks nuts. Good jobs guys

[BigguyDev @BigGuyCode]

@nicbarkeragain 100%. This is the same approach I've had for a few years now. Redoing system from scratch is the best way to see how horribly things were built to begin with. When working on new problems and systems, you're never going to make a perfect or even great solution on your first try.

[BigguyDev @BigGuyCode]

@JussiKemppainen Yeah same. Hmm, maybe its a good idea to switch to mesh patches. Any approach you'd recommend?

[BigguyDev @BigGuyCode]

@JussiKemppainen Oh I see, that's cool. Unity's Terrain System leaves a lot to be desired tbh.. I've been thinking about taking the final step towards making it use mesh patches.. I was just worried it'd be less-performant to deform mesh patches dynamically for explosion craters etc

[BigguyDev @BigGuyCode]

now that the ai knows how to drive different routes, intersections have gotten a lot more dangerous

[BigguyDev @BigGuyCode]

@_ugot Coming soonish. Goal is to launch the store page with a proper teaser trailer by Oct / Nov. At that point I will be likely opening up a closed Alpha Playtest as well.

@f_intothevoid Damn that's gnarly. Great concept

[BigguyDev @BigGuyCode]

@zKassaiAudio Depends on the projectile type. Heat seeking missiles have a higher ratio, regular bullets have a much smaller ratio so that they hit where you're aiming.

[BigguyDev @BigGuyCode]

not sure how feasible a 50 car race battle is.. or if it's going to be too chaotic for people

[BigguyDev @BigGuyCode]

@zKassaiAudio Yeah there is a value on projectiles that indicates how much of the car speed is added to the projectiles speed. Only problem is, if you add too much of the cars speed then you no longer will hit what you're aiming at as it will be offset further as it moves forward

[BigguyDev @BigGuyCode]

@marciogameaudio Thanks! Planning to release in first half of 2026

[BigguyDev @BigGuyCode]

@zKassaiAudio Yup. Had to pump the speed up on all projectiles.

[BigguyDev @BigGuyCode]

@zKassaiAudio Bullets/Missiles are projectiles that use raycasts/sphere-casts. Projectiles can have different modules for heat-seeking etc attached to them

[BigguyDev @BigGuyCode]

@mrcaleidon I agree completely. Controlled chaos is the mission statement of this game. The AI will be quite formidable for sure. The car opponents will be able to do all the same move-sets that you'll have at your disposal

[BigguyDev @BigGuyCode]

@zuc16th Full game release is planned for 2026

[BigguyDev @BigGuyCode]

@kofiro222 They choose. Right now randomly, but in future itll be based on car stats + route types
