OK! Here is the first trickle of screenshots I promised. One of the things I implemented recently was anti-aliasing, but for some reason I couldn’t get the screenshot function to work with it, so these pics have some jaggies! It’s funny, I didn’t really notice the jaggies until I turned on anti-aliasing, and now that I’ve turned it off they are driving me crazy :) I guess that’s progress for you.

What we’re looking at here is my programmer-art version of one of the new ships. Keep in mind that I’m going for a kind of abstract look here- these aren’t meant to look like your typical space ship. You can probably see what I mean by “SNES Star Fox aesthetic”.

You can also see the new particle systems (without textures at the moment) as the ship exhaust, and also as wind blasting the ship as it enters the atmosphere. What do you think?
