Thermal Dynamics is a short and simple game created to explore the development of an experimental game mechanic. This mechanic involves dynamic heat dissipation in the game environment and the forceful manipulation of heat by the player.

This is a continuous experiment and work in progress and is never intended to be released as any form of full commercial game.

Heat Dissipation:
Heat is dissipated between every 'heat object' within the game environment. This is automatic and involves a simple exchange of heat between every 'heat object' depending on distance and temperature difference.

Heat Manipulation:
The player controls the environmental temperature via the player character. Heat can be absorbed to or emitted from the player character to achieve a variety of effects on the environment. Including setting fire to flammable objects and freezing, or boiling water.

Players can also view the temperature, and fuel of heat objects by hovering the mouse over them. They may also activate a 'heat vision' to achieve a simple depiction of the heat in the environment.

Controls:

Move character :: left-click
Absorb heat :: left-ctrl
Emit heat :: left-alt
Heat Vision :: space
