    So you may have seen me posting about this in general discussion. Basically this is a mobile game prototype in which players drive vehicles based on the concept behind Rigs of Rods. Gameplay is planned but in the meantime I'll update this thread with progress.

    Today's progress so far :
    - restructuring code to allow multiple structures loaded at one time
    - "RESIST_EXPANSION" type spring, that will reduce expansion slightly better than a standard spring
    - "RESIST_COMPRESSION" type spring, that will reduce compression slightly better than a standard spring
    - Tire model tuning
    - Added "Type w/ broken" debug mode
    - Added "Deform boolean" debug mode (red if deformed even slightly, green if not deformed)

    Truck suspension is by DrowsySam because I can't do suspensions at all :p

    Sounds interesting, if you plan making it a game for smartphones, do you plan on adding WP Support (windows phone)

    So many good games aren't on WP :(

    Unfortunately I don't have a MacOS device nor the money to afford a developers license (needed to compile and release on App Store)

    Dummiesman, this looks cool. How is this for a game expanding idea? Have your game as an app that shows traffic congestion within your area. Three beam trucks pancaked is heavy traffic today, two pancaked lighter traffic, and so on..

    Planned are at least Android / WP. Possibly PC. Expected price should be $0.00

    *yes I know it says a 0 length spring broke, there was a bug*



    Progress report #2
    -Created mesh deformation system (test with a plane mesh)

    (imported from here)

    -Added a bunch of backend physics code.
    -Edited wheel model spring types due to instabilities RESIST_EXPANSION caused for tire outer springs

    Will there be multiple cars and levels like in BeamNG.
    Also, what about mod support?
    Will mods be as easy to make as in BeamNG?

    No clue about modding suport yet due to it's mobile nature. if I do a PC release however it would be modifiable. No details yet on mod creation though, as it's a WiP process in itself.

    Once I get gameplay I'll definitely try for a variety of terrain/vehicles, also.

    Reminds me of hill climb racing :p

    Looks good, gl.

    Re: 2D Spring Physics Game Prototype

    Oh yeah, I'd like to hear gameplay suggestions btw. DrowsySam's little trailer expariment gave me one : delivery missions ;) . Could also do the classic 'make it X distance without breaking Y springs' or just 'make it X distance'. Keep in mind that terrain is definitely being ditched, and custom terrain would be made to suit certain situations / difficulty levels.

    Is this going to be a Free-To-Play game or will you have to purchase it?


    Great job on it so far! :)
