Q-UP on Steam

Sick of long queues, unfair matchups, and arbitrary reflex tests? Try Q-UP, the coin flipping eSport. It's one part clicker, one part multiplayer strategy game, one part demented capitalism simulator,...

I love the skis!

Torfi @torfi.bsky.social · Jul 23

Yeah, I'm doing something similar but using Jolt hinge joints. Since the movement is constrained to a 2D plane, hinge joints are enough and I found the Jolt joints to be a bit more stable than the Bullet ones. The joint limits are fixed but I'm manipulating the motor to act like a spring.

Hey cool! I'm working on something similar. Also in Godot. Would be interesting to compare notes :) Are you using Jolt or Godot physics?

David Lynch was one of my favorite people in the world I didn't know personally. Got into meditation because of him and I think it saved my life. This is one of my favorite things he ever made. I've made this recipe many times. youtu.be/uSP-ewdJYJc?...
