The nebula prototype, we told you guys about not so long ago, is almost ready and we will soon move on to work on other features ( planetary engine, cities, vegetation ). Note that nebulae are fully volumetric and it reflects the color of the nearest stars, so it takes into account the position, distance and color to each star.
A short video of the nebula recorded in real-time can be downloaded here.
I also want to add that a lot of art and models have been made the last couple of months, not only by the devs but also by contributors. If you are intrested in contributing, you should visit to the 'contributions' section on the Infinity forums.
that vid is @!#%@#% SICK
That video is bloody impressive. Well done.
Its so amazing, this game is like a dream come true. Its seamless engine is impressive all the art looks incredible, some really cool ships coming up and infinite space to explore. Is it gonna cost a lot to have an account? I know this question is not appropriate here, but no matter how cool the game looks, I gotta afford it sometime and it'd be really nice if it didn't cost a fortune. Always a pleasure to hear from you. Keep on keeping on!

mac compatible? =>, looks great.
Sinking its going to be free ;)
*Partially* free. How far you can play before having to play is undetermined at that time, but we aim at making it as low price as possible, without monthly fees if possible.
this is amasing... wow.... you guys get me every time....
This man is a genius.
Words cannot describe how awsome that is... Wow.
Ahh, okay. Was really wondering why Infinity is called a mod, since its standalone, has a thrivingly impressive engine and looks so incredibly good and professionally done. I thought for a while that it was misplaced here, but nontheless enjoyed it. I think i read somewhere that this is gonna cost monthly and sometimes I have no money at all, sometimes I have to much(rarely). So it 'd be really cool to pay for it only once a year (Christmas) and keep it reasonable. I think the good thing about this beeing a mod, is there will be no hard-assed monkeys playing this, neither will little kids who's daddy has bought it for them. This game will have a strong dedication of followers who came to it, attracted by the beauty inside. I'm always awed when I look at Infinity pictures and I see this whole project as a piece of art. Its sooo incredibly cool of you that you don't think commerial only, but instead create a game you will want to play with people you like and who like you. People like you make me keep my hope that there is still much good in this world. Wow I'm been pathetic! Tears rolling down my face,
Cheers!
