Huge update to graphics and gameplay!

I've been hard at work for a month on this one, hopefully you'll like it!

This is a complete re-work of the planet terrain and graphics along with some major overhauls on how you move around the planet. Also many, many smaller changes.

Graphics

  • Completely re-worked the terrain and textures to be much more interesting and detailed
  • Added scattered rocks to Moon
  • Added shadow casting on planet surface from ship and other objects
  • Added dust cloud around moon
  • Added dust kick-up graphics and sound effects
  • Re-built lighting and shadows inside ship
  • New graphics for computer screens

Features

  • Added space gauntlet with interactive holo menu.

Gameplay

  • Overhauled ship speed relative to height above surface
  • Optimised many features to improve frame rate (still work in progress, don't worry!)
  • Re-built player controller on planet surface, movement/jumping vastly improved.

...and many, many small changes to numerous to list!

Hopefully this should feel like a bit jump in look and feel.
