I think this is looking kinda cool in general, I like the indoor stuff.. those aliens dont seem to have textured skins though...

Defineitely work on sprite effects some more, also remeber that mos tgames dont use just one sprites, but a clusture of sprites for explosions.

To improve look of most sprites in game: Always use my.bright=on and my.ambient=100, and adjust the sprtie material in materials.wdl...

for instance, the sprite material is deifned as

_mat = mat_sprite;

//set the values to something like this

color = 255;
_mat_set(_mat.emissive_blue,color);

color = 255;
_mat_set(_mat.ambient_blue,color);

color = 255;
_mat_set(_mat.diffuse_blue,color);

color = 0;
vec_set(_mat.specular_blue,color);

_mat.power = 0;

_mat.albedo = 0;
