The developer of Trench Tales, a UE5-powered shooter that mixes magical and military elements, shared a glimpse of the game's development with a tech art demo.
The game's creator demonstrated what can be achieved with pre-cached destruction and clarified that the technique implies creating a simulation and saving movement data; then, once needed, you can play it at runtime instead of using physics simulations.
Trench Tales, developed by Talking Drums, is a soulslike shooter that is set during a grim, devastating war. The atmosphere of battles and decay blends in surreal, magical-inflected elements, and players take on the role of a lone warrior who needs to combat earthly and supernatural enemies against the backdrop of Gothic-style architecture and cruel reality.
