![“Fred’s always maintained the vision that with physics and a set of consistent rules, players should be able to be surprised by what just happened [in the game], but also work out -why- it just happened.
“So, to that end, we took the approach that nothing in the game should be a custom ‘flame attack.’ It’s simply an attack that emits heat of X intensity over Y time. From there, the systems take over: the air is all voxel-based and temperature conducts and convects, and materials in the game (such as wood) have ignition points and their own statistics for how much more heat they emit when they burn.
“That systemic approach, we think, lets the game be “playful” and surprising in ways that can be a lot of fun, in the moment to moment. You’re never quite sure all the outcomes of your actions, but there’s a sandbox just begging for you to experiment.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fs2pfwz4ohuc7nhlshklw55d/bafkreift26y7gzzlwu6z2iuj7l6f65u5kqn456vjsbpb6ao6o6bxv4n2ji)
