les prémisses de dow 2

I have no idea who released/leaked that pre-vis...brings back memories.

Anyway, all of the bridges you see in the game now are destructible, but we decided to scrap the feature after playtesting. Just didn't work out as well as it looked, was frustrating, and caused some strange pathing issues (we've got enough of those already, thank you very much!). Cut.

One of our early gameplay concepts was "vertical vistas", with real multi-level combat (hence the Vypers and Speeders in the pre-vis)...but once we started making maps for it, we found gameplay and camera issues that couldn't be easily solved. Cut.

Flyers were problematic with our smaller scale combat and with us going back to more "flat" maps, they lost a lot of utility as well. Cut.

We actually one-upped the whole pillar thing, you'll notice that our physics allow knockbacked units to destroy just about any object. Of course, Dreads don't hurl things with pinpoint accuracy either...

We have Pred and Trukk wreck models, you probably saw them in the campaign. A decision was made to make all corpses poof after a very short time, to keep performance up on multiplayer matches, and with that, work was stopped on some of the features to make dynamic vehicle wrecks, replaced with an explosion. We're going to revisit that eventually.
