We had a slight problem in our game - gates kept bouncing dead bodies into the air. We asked one of the programmers for help. It went like this:

'Hey, you know, we have this gate-corpse bounce problem. Could you fix it? Perhaps the gates could destroy the bodies instead?'

'Sure!' he answered.

Note to self: give programmers clear instructions.

And tell the developer what the problem is, not what you think the solution should be!

I see no flaws! As long as you can't use gates to auto-kill mobs..... hey, you know what, include that function, but as an easter egg!

Ooh, you're the X-Morph guys. Now I look forward to trying this game! :)

As a programmer, I know he's just gonna increase the bounce velocity instead.

While I agree too many game devs abuse imgur for free ads, this one doesn't seem as bad as the others that are blatant.

To be fair, we like it when ppl say we CAN destroy things... soo...

I am going to ask like a dork! What’s the game? Available on Switch?

The Riftbreaker, not available yet and unfortunately we do not plan on a Switch version at the moment :(

Can't wait for this to drop. Been following it on steam.

Just watched the trailer. Looks really good. I am avid C&C original gamer. However, the idea of sitting down at a pc or turning on PS4

5 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

With three million updates put me off. I think this would suit handheld well. As well as the multiplayer aspect of bases.

This looks amazing. Def gonna get it!

Looks good, seems like a good mix of base building and rpg, when is the release date?

If anything (post clean up) this will save you memory and gpu cycles. It removes unneeded renders of bodies

5 years ago | Likes 67 Dislikes 0

Post cleanup it'll be great, i doubt making that many new meshes would meet the frame budget tho ;)

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Acceptable. I am willing to pay a few frames to watch corpses explode like fireworks.

And honestly looks damn pretty. Its goofy good fun; who doesn't love a good ludicrous gib?

5 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Seriously though, I'm missing what the issue is here. As far as I can tell that programmer did a knock out job of resolving the problem...

5 years ago | Likes 566 Dislikes 2

In this context 'destroy' was probably 'delete' not 'turn into blood confetti'

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

There is not problem. They post game ad, than upvote it, and u pay attention to game ad. Everything going to plan.

He could just write a sob story about how his indie studio worked on this game for 8 years from his dogs basement. And get 1st page 4 sure

Yeah, something something investors wanted microtrans and we told them to stuff it cuz we are rEaLl gamers.

And a bunch of people preordering. I doubt it's what u said.

Some of us liked it too, but rating agencies might think it's too much :P

make an option to explode into dust maybe?

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I am really excited for this game though. It looks like a blast to play!

Coming from the Doom 1 era, your programmer deserves better and your company isn't good enough for him.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Shooting those things to shreds is OK. Exploding bodies is bad. What????

5 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

Ok but the gates throwing the bodies in the air sounds like a great feature, and this is alright but a downgrade, and despawning is 0/10

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Well, whatever you choose to do to "fix" it, please leave this as an optional setting.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

So R-rating it is. We're fine with this.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Set up a no-gore mode, like many games have?

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Sooo back to bouncing dead bodies? That sounded fun too

5 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 0

fucking PG

5 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 0

Could you maybe leave this in for release as a gore filter option?

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Wouldn't it be the same with the preexisting blood and gore from explosions? Don't see how an extra source of giblets can affect the score.

5 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

The rating is basically "Show me the absolute worst your game can get". Halo 1 got M because the human NPCs left blood spatter.

They don't allow blood, skeletons, or zombies on the basis of encouraging superstition.

I think the ESRB is worst when it comes to blood, PEGI swings wildly, and Japan is weird, not sure on Chibese boards

5 years ago | Likes 44 Dislikes 0

China has particular laws about corpses, I think in relation to respecting the dead. Skeletons for example are a big no-no.
