I recently started to write some shaders to improve the look and feel of my game. I wrote a toon shader post filter for the beginning, does not look good enough but it is a good starting point to write own shader based filters.

I did now all the paperwork and uploaded all the icons and capsule images, mostly early state placeholder like ones on steam. I can now download and test battleground.
A beta view on steam looks like this

To make my spaceships more vivid I’d add a simple turn animation and visualized the rocket propuslion.
Looks much better and it is at the same time easier to navigate as you can see how much you turn.

I added a ship selection screen with a ship preview. Btw. you also can see my new simplified style for my new ships. The gloomy outliner on the ship helps to see the ships even in complete darkness.
In the animated picture you can see an Assault, Patrol and Defender ship of the Hot Fuzz team.
