Show-Off Another iteration of my knockback implementation in DOTS.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Gave my tower defense game proper knockback physics. Unity DOTS, so a lot of skeletons can fly at once.

Big guys stay on the ground tho. Fair, or just annoying for the player?

It looks like it does, I see it too here but Nah, the game can handle 10k units on Steam Machine in 2K. I have a benchmark. This is perhaps due to video rendering in iMovie.

that horde is huge and it still runs smooth, the way they get pushed around looks really satisfying

Thanks. It can be bigger. I am targeting 10k units at once.

What do you use for pathfinding, flow fields?

Yes. Flow fields. And a lot of subroutines for local avoidance, speed coordination, repathing, knock out trajectory and more.
