Description
Electron Particle Cannons about to cut an unlucky frigate in half.
That looks great!
Wow, those are fantastic looking.
I wonder though, do you guys have any intention of making the turrets animated? Or is this even possible with the Sin's engine?
Just one guy here. ;)
And no, with the current engine its not possible to have animated turrets, but the new ships are designed with that in mind.
wow this looks awesome but i am worried that this is going to take up way more to play than the original game did
Not really. I am trying to keep both the polygon counts and particle counts within certain limits as not to bog down the engine - and although Xin ships tend to have a few more polygons than usual, due to the base racial stats (~1.8x attack/defense, 2x cost) you should never see too many of them in one battle.
i seee awesome. any idea on how long before a playable version will be available?
awsome
May I ask which program did you use to create the effects was it Particle forge
Yes, it was in the Particle Forge, though the necessary textures were painted in Photoshop.
Spectacular! *grabs Sins off the top shelf and starts to reload*
THIS IS WONDERFUL!!! GUYS PUSH ME IN THE ARM! I MUST BE SLEEPING OVER THE COMPUTER!
