We listened to your feedback and released an alternate version of this effect! Changes include the removal of the mothership, additional warp-in and warp-out particles for the mini-ufos, and an improved explosion for the malfunctioning mini-ufo.

cool effect, tho I think it would be nice to have the small ufo's and the mothership separate...I may just be selfish and want little ufos instead, but might wanna scale down the mothership, but other than that gj man

Really love this, but like NotDaveorDaniel and Myahster said its too much goin on, split in two different unusuals would be better and maybe make the rate of fire from the tiny UFO more slower

actually good concept and execution holy shit

I like it, the effect tells a story. The aliens are invading.. and they are trying to kill.. the agents. It tells a whole story, a whole movie in one effect, wow

too big

its very cool but too big

Huge fan of the invasion update and as a result I love the effect good work, looks awesome

ngl every thing needs to be scaled down and simplified TREMENDOUSLY.
with out it its just a large gaudy eyesore with too much going on, and with the MASSIVE glow it has not only would this thing hurt class recognition, it would also majorly impact team recognition.

Unfortunately I think there's far too much going on with this effect. I recommend lessening the emission rate for the smaller UFOs going around the head and shooting. Sometimes less is more fellers.

this is actually fuckin dope. id love to see some other colors, maybe a purple or orange. pretty awesome either way

it would kick ass with green energy

super sick, im an unu combo kinda guy and this would be impossible to combo with, but alone is quite awesome

This looks insane and well made, Id def want this added. Good shit on the effect!!!

Removing the big saucer and just having the mini ones would improve the effect considerably. Right now it is still way too big

looks great but way too distracting, particularly the big saucer
if it was just 1-2 mini-saucers, that'd be more tolerable

UPDATE: After reading well-noted feedback, we've...

1. Decreased the overall size of the effect, (Now of a similar size to Pumpkin Moon)
2. The Mothership now bobs up and down to make it less static and more fluid
3. Lowered the mothership and it's particles to have it be closer to the head
4. Fixed malfunctioning UFO not being locked to the head.

We hope you like this new version :)

I agree with NotDaveorDaniel.
I would split this into two different effects.
The mothership is too big, and there is too much going on.

Can you add the ability to play space invaders?

Abduction was a perfectly fine effect. This is just dumb

I'd suggest separating the large UFO and the tiny fighters into separate unusuals. I'd love an effect that is just 3 tiny UFOs circling and fighting the player in different ways. And the large ship takes up so much space that it'd be better off halved in size and made it's own effect.

High quality nonetheless. Keep up the good work!

ITS SO BIG!

Needs to be bigger.

Might be too distracting. I would remove the mothership and keep the lil ships

Woah woah woah, that is wayyyyy too much. Make it so you maybe have the small ships are rotating around subtly. Otherwise its just too much of an eyesore, despite that though, its very very well done.

ok, there was definitely a lot of work that went into this one, so in that sense, this effect submission is very appreciated. however... this effect is WAAAAY too much. i imagine you wouldnt be able to see the merc from above with the massive ufo in the way, and there is just way too much going on. honestly, just having one ufo float around and pause to fire off the occasional laser at the mercs head would be more than enough.

Dont you think this is a tad bit too massive?

too big of an effect that uses solid sprites imo, i think making 2 variants where one is the mothership and the other is the small ships would do well :D. Other than that, everything looks pretty cool, good job
