Awesome job man! I saw your comment on my page and came to check yours out. It was really cool! I love the controls, and the effects while flying around. I hoped to make effects like that but didn't get around to it. I'd like to hear how you went about it! Also the asteroid breaking apart was a cool touch.
Thanks man, that means a lot! :) You're game is so nice, wish I could have gotten around to getting in weapons and something to shoot at.
The stars just 2 sphere particles. One is a full 3000 radius around the player with a few stars to add depth, then the other is 5000 radius, shell only. So it adds a bunch of stars that look distant. As you fly the distant stars make the soaring effect cause they spawn in quickly :)
Once again thank you! And that makes a lot of sense now. It's so simple, yet very effective! I'll try experimenting with that, I've never thought of using particles in that manner. I tend to just use them for trails or explosions and that's about it. I see now how much more creative I can be with the system.
The main problem I faced was the outer sphere. When you move and stop right away you could clearly see it in the game. Since stars twinkle anyway, the far stars only live for 1 second, just a quick fade in fade out. Good luck! :D
