title: 'Ships Go Boom' | ||

*This post is about development on Naev 0.11.0.* | ||
|
||
At the 2nd anniversary of posting about implementing [raymarched fancy | ||
explosions](<%= @items['/blarg/2021-07-18_future_goes_boom.md'].path %>), it's | ||
time to talk about trying to use the system to its full potential. And by full | ||
potential, I mean custom ship explosions! | ||
|
||
All of the factional ships have been given custom explosions, some slightly | ||
different from the "standard" explosions, while others have much more radical | ||
changes, including different explosion types, secondary effects, and radically | ||
different colours. Time to explode and damage have also been changed, while | ||
some explosions now do different damage types and/or apply disabling effects. | ||
This should help have the different factions and ships feel more different. | ||
|
||
<%= video( @items['/videos/blarg/2023_07_explosions.webm'], "Showcase of the different faction ship explosions.", "video720p" ) %> | ||
|
||
From the technical side of things, custom ship explosions are done by using Lua | ||
scripting for ships, similar as what was [done for outfits](<%= | ||
@items['/blarg/2021-06-06_lua_outfits.md %>). This opens up a whole new | ||
possibility of what can be done with ships, I won't cover other things being | ||
done with this yet, but it has to do with the Great House Sirius rework which | ||
brings about psychic powers. All these changes will be included in version | ||
0.11.0 which should be released around December this year. Lots of exciting | ||
development to look for for the rest of 2023! | ||
