Entering Earth’s Atmosphere and a Music Sample

We have atmospheric entry! It looks better in motion, but being the tease that I am, I figured a time lapse would be more tasteful in a hipster kind of way. This scene is just a brief intro before one of the levels. The heat shield is made up of a few parts that breaks apart during the intro and if wanton destruction is your bag, I think you’ll like it. Development of Heaven Variant is certainly moving forward, and we all just kind of develop everything by the seat of pants according to what looks cool. I do wonder if level intros are going to become a thing or if we’ll just use them for a few levels here or there. If Twitter is any indication, people seem to dig them. We’ll see how things go, I suppose.
And don’t tell those people on Earth we’re here! You know how they overreact about things. We have the safety of the colonists to think about!
I’ve also gone ahead and uploaded the music track from our preview video online since we were getting quite a few requests for it. And speaking of, if there’s ever anything you want to see shoot us a line either through e-mail, a comment or even better: Twitter.

atmospheric entry looks great man!
and thought I’d chime in and say i loved the music – the main theme sounds vaguely familiar from one of your earlier works that i probably listened to a trillion times
but its a totally different arrangement and the new mood fits this project perfectly. Keep up the badass progress guys

Gotta say this is all looking/sounding great.
I’d pre-order this xD
It reminds me so much of the nineties shmups.
Music that has the strong action vibe to it with a good amount of feeling to give the action a little reason.
Hoping for a high speed (maybe high speed chase) stage with matching music.
Though if this is the first stage, whats the boss music like? :3
Can hardly stand the wait, getting way too psyched for this.
