Greetings, fighters! Command of the SOF here.
We carefully read your feedback and comments. You often ask us, “Why do we need this game without destructibility when there’s XCOM?” or “It’s not clear if there are destructible elements; we don’t see them.” Today, we want to give you a detailed explanation of the destruction system in our game and answer your questions.
1. Vehicle Destruction
Our game includes vehicle destruction. Initially, we used a three-stage damage system:
- Normal state;
- Burning state;
- Destroyed state.
For example, after taking a certain amount of damage, a vehicle would transition to a burning state and then be completely destroyed. However, after testing and receiving feedback, we realized that this system didn’t feel interesting or realistic enough.
So, we developed a physical shader and adapted each vehicle to our new destruction system. Now, depending on where and how hard the explosion hits, the vehicle’s body deforms. This makes the destruction more dynamic and realistic.
Here’s what it looks like on a finished map with effects:
2. Wall Destruction
Yes, we have wall destruction, but it is limited to single-story buildings. We wanted to make all buildings destructible but encountered many logical inconsistencies that were difficult to resolve. Therefore, we decided to limit the destruction to single-story buildings.
Many of you ask why you don’t see any destruction. The answer is simple: there are no grenades capable of destroying houses in the prologue =). However, we’re happy to share a video showing how this works on different buildings.
3. Object Destruction
The game also features the destruction of small objects, but we are still working on this system. In the current version, many objects simply disappear when destroyed, and we plan to ensure that traces of destroyed objects remain.
We hope this article helped you better understand the destruction system in our game. Your feedback is very important to us, so let us know how you found the article: was it interesting, and did it make things clearer? Thank you for your attention, and see you soon!
We always welcome your feedback and comments. Your opinions help us make the game better!
