Indie developer adds portals with physics to game engine
Original: Integrating portals into gameplay, supporting the player and rigidbodies! 🌀 Still a few bugs (the hardest ones) to fix,
An independent game developer has integrated working portals into their gameplay, supporting both the player character and physics-driven rigid bodies as they move through them. The developer says the feature is starting to feel fun to play, though the hardest bugs still need fixing before it is complete. Other game developers have been picking up the update, which touches on portal rendering and physics handling, two of the trickier problems in engine work.
Why now: Portal mechanics with proper rigidbody support are a notoriously difficult technical challenge that game developers find impressive.
