Nothing is final until the fat spaceship explodes, but there are some screens showing some test GSB2<\/a> battles with new planet imagery. I am going to need to knock up a level editor which lets me adjust all the planet sizes\/parallax etc, so I can do something more creative than just slap any old planet with any old nebula, star and background… But I definitely like the ‘big battle over the planet in the background’ thing. Feedback is most welcome. (click to enlarge)<\/p>\n

One of the things I’m not sure about is the extent to which I let the planets zoom in when you zoom in the camera. There are two possible methods, the ‘treat the planet as an object an infinite distance and don’t scale it’ approach, and the ‘it’s just another object in the scene so zoom in’ approach. I frankly don’t care which is more accurate. Nothing about GSB2 is accurate, it’s just aiming to look l33t. I keep changing my mind as to how to set up the camera regarding planets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
