FXPack1 Explosions in (frozen) action

Yes! We like them a lot. They're great seen paused 0.1 seconds after they go off (Darkwind is a turn based game, so you can spin the camera around and enjoy them).
In particular, the dirt explosion blasts rock. Er.. literally..


But also the metal-hit and generic explosions are very cool..

This last one is just plain gratuitous. Hey, that's what particle effects are all about, non?

Darkwind: War on Wheels is a turn-based car combat MMORPG set in a post-apocalyptic near future (it is currently the year 2062 in-game). We're currently in open alpha so feel free to drop in! Windows, Linux, and OSX clients are supported.

@Christian: yes it is. Explosions have been resized to match Darkwind's gameplay: they are a bit larger than they should.It has added a real depth the game's graphics without too mych pain as it was ready to go.

Great Fx pack too! 8-)
This explosion pack as greatly improved Darkwind: War on wheels, graphical side. I was voiceless the first time I saw those explosions in action. Great job, Adam.
