Cars drive and shoot: two videos
Until now we had static scenes. Now cars drive, shoot and break. We recorded two videos (in Russian) — here are only the key points, with timestamps.
Video 1: map and vehicles
Начало положено Rust Machine, 4 minutes. Short version — the Short.
The map is 32 km² (0:00). Green biome 12 km², desert 7 km², a neutral transition zone between them. Water and oil puddles look the same for now — oil ones will be redrawn later.

Three vehicles, three roles (0:50):
- VAZ 2108 — roof machine gun, first-person view.
- UAZ — “control”: machine gun plus rocket pods on the sides.
- ZIL — “farmer”: carries the drilling rig.

Physics works: suspension handles bumps, wheels steer, brakes brake. The machine gun fires where the camera looks. Double-click on the crosshair centers the camera along the car’s heading.
The mining loop (3:41): drive up to an oil puddle, unfold the rig, set the supports, extract, leave.

Video 2: destruction and bots
Путь с нуля в создании игры Survival Rust Machine, 8 minutes.
Turrets on monuments (1:18). The smugglers’ base and the gas station have machine guns. They track the target and fire only at players with bad reputation. Magazine — 150 rounds, then a reload. Aiming is still off; we’re fixing it.
The gas station is destructible (2:12). Pumps explode, building parts break. In the video the first pump refused to blow up for a minute — we were hunting for the hit point.
UAZ rockets work (3:43). Unguided, fly straight. Two gas pumps — two volleys.
Cars come apart piece by piece (5:04). Wheels, armor, machine gun, body — everything can be shot off. On collision, parts fly off and deal damage.
Four hostile bots (7:16). They have a contact radius, chase you and aim their fire. Score after three tries: three destroyed player cars. We couldn’t react in time — the wheels went first.
What’s next
- Monuments: finish the base turrets and gates, detail the gas station.
- A couple more vehicles, full bandits, a neutral variant for civilians.
- Visual effects are placeholders — the red machine-gun smoke will be replaced.
