MemeticBox voxel destruction operates on a modular, physics-driven engine where every entity and structure consists of individual volumetric blocks. Developed by Corvium Games for Windows PC, the title abandons static damage states in favor of real-time block displacement. Bullets drill physical cavities through models, heavy impacts shear structural pillars, and internal anatomical structures break apart under targeted kinetic force.
Anatomical Voxel Damage on Characters
Character models in MemeticBox are assembled from thousands of color-coded voxels arranged into anatomical tiers. Beneath the surface skin voxels, the engine simulates muscle tissue, bone skeletons, and internal organs such as brains, lungs, and hearts.
Different weapon types produce distinct physical deformations:
- High-caliber ballistic rounds from sniper rifles and assault rifles punch distinct holes through models, exposing internal bone and muscle voxels.
- Shotguns blast away concentrated clusters of blocks at close range, severing entire limbs or decapitating heads completely.
- Sharp melee weapons, including the katana and chainsaw, slice along exact contact angles to separate body segments cleanly.
- Blunt weapons like the baseball bat distribute kinetic energy across broader surface areas, denting bodies and launching ragdolls across the physics space.
When characters sustain partial dismemberment, dynamic behavior models take over based on remaining components. Enemies missing lower leg blocks drop to the surface and pull themselves forward with their arms. Wounded non-player characters stagger, clutch damaged zones, and vocalize distress while blood pools across the floor, stains nearby walls, and splatters the player camera.
Structural and Environmental Destruction
The voxel destruction engine extends directly into the surrounding architecture. Unlike games that switch buildings into pre-fractured debris animations, structures in MemeticBox collapse based on structural load analysis. Removing lower foundation walls leaves upper floors unsupported, causing bricks, window frames, and roofs to crumble down into loose rubble.
Falling debris retains full physics mass and actively crushes entities trapped beneath the falling blocks. High-explosive weaponry—such as rocket launchers, grenade launchers, and explosive red barrels—excavates deep craters into both terrain and building facades.
Vehicles feature comparable modular damage models. Cars, motorcycles, and military tanks dent panel by panel when subjected to gunfire or collisions. Sustained damage ignites fuel components, leading to localized detonations that shred the vehicle frame into individual voxel fragments. Dynamic environmental weather factors also interact with damaged surfaces: heavy rain showers naturally put out active fires spread across wooden voxels and grass.
Destruction Tools and Weapon Performance
Players interacting with Sandbox and God mode can deploy specialized destructive powers, heavy industrial traps, and handheld weaponry against the voxel grid.
| Tool or Weapon | Destruction Category | Primary Physical Impact on Voxels |
|---|---|---|
| Grenade Launcher | Heavy Ordnance | Blasts deep craters into terrain and demolishes multi-layer structural walls |
| Katana | Edged Melee | Delivers clean angular slices through character limbs, necks, and torsos |
| Chainsaw | Continuous Cutting | Grinds away surface blocks continuously and chews through wooden objects |
| Industrial Grinder | Kinetic Trap | Shreds dropped ragdolls and debris into loose voxel mince |
| Spiked Bed | Stationary Hazard | Impales characters upon contact |
| Meteor Shower | Celestial Power | Rains down high-yield explosive impacts that deform landmasses |
| Tornado | Vortex Catastrophe | Sweeps ragdolls, vehicles, and loose debris into a rotating physics funnel |
| Black Hole | Gravitational Power | Pulls nearby characters and loose blocks into a central crushing singularity |
Custom Voxel and Map Editing Tools
MemeticBox incorporates tools for players who wish to experiment with structural stability and object properties. The main menu includes a native voxel editor designed for sculpting custom props, furniture, and target models.
Within Sandbox mode, pressing F2 brings up an in-game object inspector. When inspecting a voxel box or spawned object, players can adjust multiple physical parameters:
- Mass: Aligns how much kinetic force is required to move or dislodge the block cluster.
- Bounciness: Controls how much elastic velocity the voxel mass retains after hitting a hard surface.
- Friction: Dictates how smoothly the object slides across concrete, wood, or dirt terrain.
A built-in map editor also permits real-time building of custom combat chambers and testing arenas, allowing immediate playtesting without loading external tools.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does MemeticBox support partial destruction on all buildings?
The demolition map and city maps feature full structural analysis destruction, where individual blocks shatter and entire buildings collapse under explosive strain.
Can fire permanently burn away voxel environments?
Flamethrowers and Molotov cocktails ignite flammable materials like wooden structures, foliage, and character skins. The fire steadily eats through combustible voxels unless dynamic rain puts out the flames.
Player-spawned tornadoes and black holes can pull these scattered pieces into combined physics collisions.
