Opening Seaons

Here's what the new death sequence looks like:




I still haven't fixed the engines all the way, but the overall effect is a lot better as far as giving a pause to the player that got killed, and getting rid of the shields.  We've added an entrance effect and a new awesome looking star. 

So, since everybody else's project had a neat opening, we put one together too.  It uses the new entrance effect for the ships and the new prettier star.  Here's the opening scene to Star Battles.

If I had more time, I might work it up into something better, or maybe we'll go with the scripted animation method too.

Two more posts in the not so distant future, a star tool and warping.
