[Kickstarter] Smash My Polygons

A fun game I am working on.

Each color is a team and weapons can only kill the team of the same color. A certain velocity must be reached to kill a character. NPCs currently search for weapon, then attack moves to the NPC with the same color as their weapon.

Now add some blood and guts flying everywhere XD. Looks smooth. Hows the performance when you add 30 characters?

I definitely want to add blood and guts at some point to spice up the smashing. With 30 characters I’m getting a steady 70 FPS with 8 GB of ram with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760. I tried 60 characters and still 70 FPS. 90 characters got me 30 FPS though.

Spin fast enough and he will become a twister/tornado XD

I like the idea that the main fun from this game will be from the different ways you can smash the polygons, so an item that turns you into a tornado is a great suggestion, thanks mate.

Sticky bombs!

I swear I didn’t pose him, he just decided to put his right leg on top of a mace, as if he’s tough s***.

I improved the physics by a ton so that there are no cheating (like setting velocity directly, or any of the transform component values). The NPCs don’t do a lot because I haven’t enabled them to bend down and reach for the weapons yet. Let me know what you think!

I gotta make this into a game because it is so much fun just screwing around.

How do you get the humans so floppy, final IK or softbody? It’s weird but interesting.

It’s actually extremely simple: all I have is a ragdoll with a constant force component on the head and pelvis joint, head force goes up, and pelvis force goes down. Then I rotate the pelvis using torque and move the pelvis using forces.

These polygons are dirty as hell…

Help me test the game!

Hey guys I have uploaded a version of the game to itch.io. If you want to test smashing polygons, then please download and SMASH!

It’s 13 MB zipped, and 30 MB unzipped.

Please tell me what you think: constructive criticism, what you like/dislike. Please be as honest as you can. I hope you enjoy!

All the info is in the menu (press ESC): controls, debug controls, and the 2 levels available.

I can’t wait to hear what you think!

The first of many

Nice mechanic. My only suggestion is to make multi-player.
Helping each others to achieve some goals together.
Should be very fun to play, streamer might play your game live too.
You can even make this into party game like Gang Beasts as well.
