Playing around in Unity

Hello! I just started a new and really really exciting project called "SpaceCraft" which obiusly involves spaceships and stuff! I recently started playing around with Strumpys shader editor, and man, its as good as unreals material editor! Below is an in-game pic that i put together to practice painting space skyboxes and getting believable 3D planets that blend nicely into the background. Many have asked how i did the rim of the planet. The technique is brutally simple: Its just a plane with a painted circle that always faces the camera:

Just finished my first released game

I always thought it would be a very emotional thing to, after all struggles, finally have a copy of a game you made yourself in your hands. It turned out that those emotions didn't erupt until i finished the game and saw the credits list. It's a really cool thing to finally have a game out on the shelves, and I can't wait to get more of them out there!

Hey everyone, Every now and then something small happens that makes you really really happy. During the last few days I've had two e-mails from people who played through Project 25 thought it was good enough to let me know they've played it and enjoyed it.
