News Sneek Peek at Horizons Progress

Hi All,

This is a quick-and-dirty un-edited capture from Horizons from a debug build on one of our dev machines, using the debug camera on an SRV and zooming out faster and faster from a crash site on the surface of a rocky potato-shaped planetoid, not unlike Vesta in our solar system. There are tons of little details we plan to tweak or fix, but I thought it would be great for you guys to see where we’re up to with this:

Looks fantastic ; cannot wait to get my hands on Horizons. Give your team a round of applause for that video. :)

Just to land on planets and simply look up at moons and so forth... the whole experience will be epic.

Bravo. Such a simple video but shows so many possibilities of what may be coming... Not to mention showing off nice LOD changes keeping the framerate nice and high despite going from focused on an SRV to an entire freakin' planet!

Really looking forward to being able to play this in a few months. Thank you very much for sharing! :D
