Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months' (www.pcgamer.com)

Copilot, add destructible terrain to my game please

I dont think anyone will claim that destructible terrain is an easy addition.

You say that, but...

Sure it is, you just implement depth map deformation into the static terrain, totally doable! Then you just tie in a strain system to all the game's models so they fall when they don't have enough support, then add destruction animations for every static model and falling animations for every character. Totally easy, they had that back when the original Red Faction came out for PS2, the devs are just lazy! /s
