First Impressions

It's an honour to publish a first impression of our game! :D I've created this scene yesterday to test the effects of Unity on the game environment we're creating and to provide ourselves with a base which we can use to develop the awesome features we have in mind. In the scene we can see a planet, two asteroids, a star and our spaceship. The light of the star also casts shadows over the object in this system and creates a flare in the player's camera. I've found the texture of the planet on a site which has a lot more planet textures to offer freely, we'll be sure to use that site to its full extent to create some diversity. The spaceship and the asteroid were delivered by Brian, who has been spending his time searching the web for some awesome models. In this particular scene you can move the ship around, it doesn't move very naturally, but we have improved it a lot already. In the actual game we will create a couple of random planets, possibly with asteroid belts and/or atmospheres. We do this to give players the feeling they're flying in an actual solar system. Philippe has made some progress with the asteroids, which will spawn outside the playable area and slowly float through it. Hitting an asteroid with your spaceship can have desolating consequences! After finishing the planets I'll see if I can add some shooting to the spaceship and I'll start making the game playable online.
