Parallax Backdrop

In the typical strategy game the top of the map usually ends off unnaturally with plain blackness or an abrupt break in the foreground scenario.

The screen shots of Atu'los online inspired me to end off the top of the map with a parallax backdrop.

I've collected a few suitable panorama scenes for variation and made them tiles.
I know I shouldn't gold plate when there are more important outstanding features, but hey I had to kill an hour or so :)

Hi Cobus! Die game begin nogals impressive lyk. Goeie werk meneer!

Jy spoor my aan om self iets te try. :)

Thanks Phillip.

Direct3D of OpenGL gaan ook nog daar ingewerk word! Ek het gister 'n Direct3D toets gedoen wat baie belowend lyk.

Ek sal vir jou 'n "kick-start" .NET projek gee.
