Since Beyond Sandbox aims to be one of the most realistic VR physics sandboxes, it would be amazing to introduce a detailed anatomical NPC system instead of a simple health bar
The idea is that NPCs would have a full internal body simulation with bones, muscles, organs, circulation, and a nervous system. Damage and physical interactions would affect the body depending on what actually happens physically
Possible systems included:
- Skeletal System
-
Each bone simulated individually
-
Bones can fracture, bend, or break depending on force and angle
-
Different fracture types (hairline, compound, etc)
-
Impacts could dislocate joints or damage ligaments
- Muscular System
-
Muscles control movement and strength
-
Injured muscles reduce lifting strength or speed
-
Limb injuries could cause NPCs to limp or lose control of an arm
- Circulatory System
-
Blood flow simulation affecting stamina and survival
-
Bleeding depending on the location and severity of injuries
-
Blood pressure changes after major trauma
- Organ System
-
Organs react differently to impacts
-
Damage to lungs could affect breathing
-
Head trauma could affect vision or balance
-
Different organs having different levels of vulnerability
- Nervous System
-
Nerve damage affecting movement or reaction time
-
Temporary shock from impacts
-
Loss of coordination if certain areas are affected
- Physical Reactions
-
NPCs reacting to pain or imbalance
-
Losing balance after strong impacts
-
Trying to stabilize themselves if injured
- Environmental Interaction
-
Temperature affecting NPC stamina
-
Oxygen affecting breathing
-
Pressure or strong impacts affecting internal organs.
