From the Trenches: Great new game from startup indie developer
 Anonymous writes "Moonpod was started by three game industry veterans who decided to go it alone, Starscape is Moonpod's first game. The company ethos is to bring mainstream high street quality values to direct download fun games. Starscape is a retro styled arcade blaster with beautiful rendered graphics, a great techno sound track and a refreshing depth of game play. What seperates it from the crowd is the quality of the implementation, great effects, involving plot and animated cut scenes. Unusual for this genre of game you can customise your space ships and while away the hours asteroid mining, researching and generally exploring the games non-linear structure. The pre-requisite end of zone bosses have not been forgotten either, unique and hugely impressive enemies that must be defeated in each of the five zones. Instead of the normal software sprite rendering, Starscape leverages the power of modern 3D hardware and can render tens of thousands of individual sprites on screen. With a wide range of stunning colour blending effects, even modest hardware is more than capable (i.e. PII-300 3DFXVoodoo3). http://www.moonpod.com"
