Elium, dynamic sky and clouds

New (updated engine / the artist kept working on this after I left) project video: youtube.com/watch?v=aBTXPOb7jig
Original project site: http://www.elium.tk
This video is meant to show off the dynamic sky/clouds system that I built into Elium. The clouds are generated with a perlin noise algorithm and, as you can see, morph and play across the sky in realtime, and allow full scaling of the various sky properties, etc. (this was all back in 2003-ish, so yeah, the graphics are older)
The time is VERY much accelerated, the in-game clouds run nothing close to this speed.
(it seems the Youtube encoding more or less destroys your ability to see the stars or make out the clouds over the night sky - sorry about that)
The algorithm I used more or less came from this site: http://freespace.virgin.net/hugo.elias/models/m_clouds.htm
Music is by Philip Glass, from Koyaanisqatsi

g I'm the same artist that used to work with Shalinor on Elium

Where can i download this game? i have kasei And that's kind of like this game. It is also called Elium.

Stars can't really be seen but that doesn't matter. Great stuff you did there, looks really great!

Pretty sweet. So did you write this engine entirely from scratch? Clouds seem to move EXTREMELY fast, or is this sped up?

@raveheart58 As the video says, I sped the clouds waaay up for this video. Looked much cooler than way, and showed the effect off better. Yep, we wrote the engine, though we built it on top of Nebula Device 2's renderer and resource management system.

Well, the game was just a prototype, you can google Elium for the main page - I am no longer on the project, but I believe my partner kept working on it. You can also check out Glass Bottom Games (my site) in the future for some related stuff... not the same game, of course, but I haven't lost my sense for physicality in combat, which was one of the things I did like about the Elium prototype.
