A is for Astronaut Dynamic Theme
Crash landed on a distant asteroid, an astronaut waits patiently for rescue.
Optimised for Full HD resolution, this highly detailed yet subtle theme features special time and date based events.
All alone on one of hundreds of asteroids orbiting a binary star system, the longer the astronaut waits the more varied his actions become.
This theme is part of the growing Sci-FI ABC's range of indie Dynamic Themes we are developing for the PlayStation®3. Sales of these themes helps us fund our indie game developments.
European (SCEE) PSN Store - available from June 2011.
North American (SCEA) PSN Store - available from 1st November 2011.
Finding things on the PSN store can be a bit tricky, so try searching "Astronaut" and the theme should be easy to spot in the results.
This theme was created by Tikipod Ltd in partnership with Omni Systems Ltd.
Stranger's Wrath HD Dynamic Theme
After rebuilding the old Stranger's Wrath menu movie background for the HD remake, it was then converted into a Dynamic Theme. (note the white pixels are the test kit ip address being masked, they dont appear in the regular theme)
Dynamic Themes have strict limitations within which they can be built. Texture limits meant the movie couldn't be used as the background, so it all had to be specially built with new elements added to emulate the HD movie.

Gravity Crash Dynamic Theme
This was our first Dynamic Theme creation, made for Jaw (and published by SCEE) after the Playstation3 version of the game was completed.
The theme is based around the style of the level select menus found in the game, with a large layered background that slowly changes as time goes by.
