Planets Gone Rogue! is my first “real” game currently in development for Android, Flash, and iOS (if interest is high enough to justify the conversion effort). It is a genre-mix that alternates between round based space exploration and action based combat sequences. The player controls the fate of his own home world as he equips and upgrades weapons of interplanetary scale to engage other planets in battle. Death is permanent and the player needs to start a new game in a fresh galaxy after losing his planet.

Post news Report RSS New backgrounds for Planets Gone Rogue!

A new system was added to the system that will generate space nebula backdrops for the battle sequences in the game.

Until now, the backgrounds in Planets Gone Rogue! have consisted of a single image whose hue was altered when creating a battle scene. Although I had multiple images and the hue / position was different for each battle I was very unhappy with these backdrops as these looked very static and unimpressive. I have therefore added a new background generation system to the game that is able to create unique space nebula backdrops for each battle. You can see it in Action here in the main menu of the game:

At the moment the system only supports nebula in two different colors, but I will add more colors, styles shapes and additional backdrop elements until the release.
