Re: Crystalline System Infestation
16 frames gives a good amount of random variation.

Re: Crystalline System Infestation
What would you say to 3D infestations, along the lines of the Von Neumann machine systems we discussed on IRC?
For reference for anyone who wasn't there, I experimented with giving storms actual 3D models, and happened to use the space port facility model with no texture... it looked pretty nifty actually, almost like the Borg home system or something...

Heh, I just realized that the galaxy I would up with in my test game looks an awful lot like puppy lifting its leg to pee... might that be the Canis Minor Urinensis constellation?

Re: Crystalline System Infestation
How is that going to work out with ships traveling through the system, though?

Re: Crystalline System Infestation
Actually, that first crystalline infestation looks pretty neat. Maybe if you made the "shafts" of the crystals bigger around, and less of them... And lost the flowers of course. I wouldn't know how to generate something like that myself. Maybe he knows.

Re: Crystalline System Infestation
Crystal flowers are actually kinda cool.

Re: Crystalline System Infestation
I have a queston: how does it work in a battle
1. the ships that fly through it get damage
2. it slowly kills off crew members
I think the flowers can be changed to crystal blulb that glows
other then that I like it so far  |
