In the online game market, which pursues the ultimate sense of realism, the R&D team of "Tiger Knight" spent two months and employed hundreds of people to conduct stress tests, and even simulated the "injured blood spurting" effect. It has now launched a new round of internal testing with scene destruction as the core. This almost paranoid polishing has triggered heated discussions.
Destroy the scene and reshape the battlefield
The full-scene destruction system introduced in "Tiger Knight" has fundamentally changed the gameplay logic of the cold weapon battlefield. The fences on the battlefield are no longer fixed background textures, but interactive objects that can be collided. The barns are no longer fixed background textures, but interactive objects that can be burned. The barracks are no longer fixed background textures, but interactive objects that can be collided and burned. Even the military flag is no longer a fixed background texture, but interactive objects that can be collided and burned.
This design breaks the fixed lines of past battles and allows players and teams to adjust tactics according to real-time changes in the battlefield environment. Each successful destruction may open up new channels of attack and create chaos, which greatly enhances the depth of strategy and the sense of presence.
Physics engine drives reality
The game uses the Unreal 3 engine and the PhysX physics engine, which lays the technical foundation for scene destruction. The PhysX engine has been used in internationally renowned masterpieces such as "Call of Duty: Ghosts". Its APEX technology can simulate the fracture, shattering and collapse processes of objects in real time.
In other words, in the game, the damage caused to everything from larger houses to tiny vegetation is not a preset animation, but the result of real-time physical collision calculations. This kind of real-time calculation ensures that the effect of each destruction is unique, greatly improving the authenticity and unpredictability of the battle.
Polished details pursue immersion
The R&D team that invests a lot of energy in visual details is committed to pursuing realistic effects in terms of character skin texture and battlefield vegetation. The skylight lighting system creates a light and shadow effect that changes over time, adding a sense of presence to large-scale battlefields.
When depicting the effects of destruction, the level of detail is particularly outstanding. When the wooden fence is shattered by impact, wood chips are flying in all directions. When the granary is burning, the entire process of the flames spreading and the structure collapsing has been precisely and carefully designed. It is these details that work together to make players truly feel the roughness and shocking power of cold weapon warfare.
Deep evolution of gameplay strategy
The destruction of the whole scene is not just for visual stimulation, but has an impact on the gameplay on a deeper level. Players can use destruction to create traps, such as burning buildings to block passages, or tearing down obstacles to divide enemy formations.
In this way, the game changes from a pure force confrontation to a three-dimensional game integrating environmental utilization. Commanders must have dynamic environmental observation capabilities, incorporate terrain damage into tactical considerations, and then gain the initiative on the battlefield.
Persistence in market environment
In the context of the domestic game market's pursuit of rapid monetization, it is very rare and valuable that the "Tiger Knight" team is willing to spend a lot of time and manpower to develop such sophisticated functions and test them. The two tests focused on the two aspects of "injury effects" and "scene destruction", both of which clearly pointed to the persistence of the realism of war simulation.
Such refinement of the core experience is in sharp contrast to many reskinned fast food games. It responds to the expectations of some core players for high-quality, hard-core war simulation games, but it also faces niche market risks.
Test feedback and future challenges
This time, the internal testing of the destruction system, which is as high-intensity as "epilepsy", is specifically designed to collect feedback from players when they are in an extreme state. Stress testing can reveal the load limit of physical operations, analyze whether the destruction logic is reasonable, and determine whether it will affect the game balance.
The challenge facing the team is how to ensure that the server is stable and the game can run smoothly while pursuing the ultimate physical reality. Whether excessive destruction will cause the battlefield to become ruins very early, and thus affect the later game experience, is also a key issue that needs to be balanced.
For this war game that is so "realistic" in terms of details, what specific interactive effects are you most looking forward to it achieving in the scene destruction system? Are more complex buildings collapsing layer by layer, or is it a series of chain effects on the weather and topography caused by the destruction of the environment?
