BeamNG.drive crashes onto Steam Greenlight

BeamNG

Real-time soft-body physics might sound like the technology powering an erotic Oculus Rift game, but in reality it's the magic maths that helps make BeamNG's crashes look as crunchy as they do. What started as a physics tech demo has slowly been transforming into an open-world driving game, named BeamNG.drive. That game has now taken a turn onto the Greenlight highway , and is hoping to gain enough momentum to pass through the Steam barrier.

Mostly, though, there's plenty of spectacularly detailed vehicle destruction. As Next Car Game continues to prove , sometimes that's more than enough.
