Que dire, si ce n’est ÉPOUSTOUFLANT ! Bien que je ne sois pas du tout issu du monde de la pyrotechnie, j’ai tout de suite accroché à ce jeu / logiciel de création de feux d’artifice. Il offre de très belles possibilités : que ce soit pour reproduire des shows réels ou laisser libre cours à son imagination. Étant un grand fan du Tomorrowland, j’ai même pu créer mon propre spectacle pyrotechnique un vrai plaisir ! ❌ Voici tout de même quelques points que j’aimerais remonter de façon constructive : - La version "Creative" n’est pas disponible sur Steam, seulement sur le site officiel. C’est un peu décevant, je l’ai découvert après quelques recherches. Pourquoi ne pas envisager de proposer le reste de cette version en DLC sur Steam ? - Il manque une option pour revenir en arrière (type CTRL+Z), ce serait vraiment pratique en cas d’erreur. - Même si cela ne dépend peut-être pas directement du jeu, l’importation de terrain via Google Earth n’est pas très convaincante. J’ai voulu importer ma commune pour y reproduire le feu d’artifice local, mais le terrain était plat. Je m’attendais à voir le château en relief pour créer un vrai show - Une touche pour ajuster plusieurs effets au même timing (par exemple "Shift", comme dans de nombreux logiciels de montage) serait un vrai plus. ✅ Et maintenant, les nombreux points positifs : - Des graphismes très réussis - Une prise en main simple et intuitive - Le partage des créations de la communauté - L’export vidéo intégré, super pratique sans devoir passer par un logiciel externe - Une immense variété d’effets disponibles pour exprimer sa créativité - La possibilité d’importer des modèles 3D Bravo au développeur indépendant pour ce superbe travail ! J’espère que le jeu / logiciel continuera à évoluer dans le futur. Je donne un 8/10 et je le recommande chaudement à tous les passionnés de création visuelle ! PS : Un petit DLC "Creative version" sur Steam, ce serait top 😁
exelente
Very cool and Interesting game I personally think its very underrated!
software perfetto
可以制作很好,不过要是库里面多点烟花模型会更好
FWsim – Fireworks Display Simulator, developed and published by Lukas Trötzmüller, is one of those rare simulation titles that explores a subject few games have ever attempted. Instead of putting players behind the wheel of a truck or in charge of a sprawling business, it hands them the role of a pyrotechnic designer and asks them to create unforgettable displays of light and sound. At first glance, the concept may seem too specialized to sustain interest, but FWsim quickly proves that there is far more depth to fireworks design than most people realize. The game has spent years evolving into a sophisticated piece of software, and its Steam release has made that experience accessible to a much wider audience. The simulator's biggest selling point is the freedom it offers. Players are given access to a broad range of fireworks effects, launch systems, and staging options that can be combined in virtually limitless ways. The ability to synchronize displays with music transforms each project into a personal performance rather than a simple demonstration of visual effects. Every shell can be timed to complement a beat, a melody, or a dramatic crescendo, creating the kind of presentation usually reserved for large public celebrations. Whether building a modest backyard-style show or orchestrating an elaborate finale over an iconic backdrop, FWsim consistently encourages creativity and experimentation. What makes the experience particularly impressive is its commitment to realism. FWsim is not merely a casual fireworks sandbox; it aims to simulate the process as authentically as possible. Firework trajectories, launch timings, and explosive patterns are recreated with considerable attention to detail, giving players insight into the planning involved in real pyrotechnic productions. This dedication to authenticity also means the game leans more toward simulation software than traditional entertainment. There are no campaigns, unlock trees, or narrative elements pushing players forward. Instead, satisfaction comes from mastering the tools and watching a carefully constructed show come to life exactly as intended. The visual presentation naturally serves as the game's strongest feature. Night skies explode with vibrant colors, sparkling trails, and massive finales that capture the excitement of live fireworks displays. Combined with convincing sound effects and customizable camera angles, the simulator does an excellent job of recreating the atmosphere of a major event. The included environments further enhance the experience, allowing players to stage performances in memorable locations that give each display its own character. There are moments when the spectacle becomes genuinely mesmerizing, particularly when dozens of effects are perfectly synchronized to a favorite piece of music. However, FWsim's niche focus will not appeal to everyone. Newcomers may initially find the interface overwhelming, especially compared to more streamlined simulation games. The menus prioritize utility over aesthetics, and learning the finer points of show design requires patience. Players looking for structured objectives or instant gratification may lose interest after the novelty wears off. On the other hand, those who enjoy creative applications, simulation tools, or hobbyist software will likely appreciate the amount of control available. The game rewards time and dedication, and its depth becomes increasingly apparent with every completed project. Another strength of FWsim is its longevity. Since there are virtually endless combinations of effects and music choices, no two shows ever need to feel the same. The simulator invites repeated experimentation, making it easy to spend hours adjusting timings, testing sequences, and refining finales. In many ways, it functions as both a game and a creative platform, offering a safe and inexpensive alternative to an otherwise costly hobby. That dual identity is ultimately what makes it stand out within the Steam library. FWsim – Fireworks Display Simulator succeeds by embracing an unconventional idea and executing it with confidence. It may not have the broad appeal of mainstream simulation titles, but it delivers an experience that feels authentic, relaxing, and rewarding for those willing to engage with its systems. Its combination of realism, customization, and artistic expression makes it a standout title in an increasingly crowded genre. While its utilitarian interface and specialized focus may prevent it from becoming a universal recommendation, it remains an impressive achievement that captures the beauty and craftsmanship of pyrotechnics better than any other game currently available. Rating: 8/10
