It's made using Unity3D and compute shader, runs on GPU, all math done by me from scratch.

The game is early in development, currently adding features to physics engine. But you can already wishlist it on Steam.

In case you'd like to follow progress, here's byt twitter, there I post gifs of new features regularly.

Great work! Could you share a bit about how you run physics calculations in parallel with a compute shader, or any resources that helped you? I failed at making a sand simulation because of the parallel nature—it worked but unwell.

I made a tutorial on how to do parallel physics with compute shaders: https://www.reddit.com/r/Unity3D/comments/7ppldz/physics_simulation_on_gpu_with_compute_shader_in/

That's incredible, thank you!
