Whatever happened to that SPH Fluid Simulation prototype?

Last I've heard of the SPH fluid sim it was in 2019 with their devlog (https://universesandbox.com/blog/2019/12/sph-devlog-1/) and I haven't heard anything since. Has there been an update to it since then?

according to the devs, it was intensive to the computers. and they used a low particle amount (`~10k), i run sph simulations using opensph regularly and it takes a while

As MrNegotiator said, it turned out that the model of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics we were looking at was too computationally intensive for Universe Sandbox to run in real-time.

We are currently working on improving our current physics and collision simulation, and would like to look into alternative methods of fluid collisions in the future, but don't have any timeline for it at the moment.
