soft body or particle system simulator are important for game developing.

Are these feature going to be added into Buttlet?

I think I take the key in the TODO list on wiki of Bullet.

It would be nice to have particles indeed (CPU or GPU accelerated), but the wishlist is long, and evolves:

- support/hook up all quickstep/ode constraints, motors, limits
- optimize Bullet so it becomes more competitive with Ageia PhysX etc.
- cloth, fluids simulation
- deformable/breakable objects
- featherstone constraints
- better vehicle and character controller

You might want to check out Particle Systems API in the meanwhile:
