    It looks a little goofy on the small planets, but looks nice!

    Ooh, yes, I was waiting for shockwaves!

    Edit: it's a little odd how it makes the planet super dark though. :p

    I think it's a step forward and a step back.

    I think it looks a little weird on small planets. Maybe that's just me though.

    That's probably a first pass.
    It's definitely a step in the right direction though. Now all we need is a shockwave and some fiery debris and this is going to look A-MAY-ZING.
    Also the whiteness will probably be cleaned up.

    Yeah I don't quite like how it looks now, that must be really wip.

    Planet smashes should be like in the concept, the cracks that fly into space were perfect in the current stable build (can't tell if they are different in this video), it should have a schockwave, but turn everything to dust, lava and ashes.

    burn baby burn.

    Verified: programmer effects there...
    But, there's a lot more going on than you think ;)

    There is always more going on than one may think.

    Is the intent to test particle effects and planet size?

    Not enough shockwave (wrapping around the planet) and not enough fire/lava. But we'll get there.

    Nuke smoke and shockwave are also WAY larger (I assume the radius of the damage is also bigger)

    EDIT: I may actually be going crazy and it hasn't actually changed, if so I apologize.

    Awww, c'mon now, you've got to unpack that a little bit! Regenerating the navigation meshes too? ;)

    I'm glad there still working on that animation cause I woulda booed them if they release the game with the one we got ha ha :p Now they gotta make it so the planet transform into a lava planet with the firey shock wave going around da planet whenever a moon is used cause moons are huge. See if it was a smaller asteroid being used than it'd be ok for the planet to not be completely transformed :)

    Are there any plans to add a raised lip to the crater that's left behind?

    Looks like it needs to be more tweaked but looks like particals fun.

    Btw is that a new feature water filling up the crater?
