This is amazing. I haven't found any named creature yet. This is simple and yet beautiful. It combines two (three?) of my passions: Prcodural generation, huge-terrifying scopes, and weird pixel art interractive stuff.
I also love the landscapes when you're zoomed on the planet. I don't know if those are generated too or hand drawn? Anyway, they really give a frightening and beautiful sense of scale too.
Thanks for this experience <3
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
Everything is procedurally generated except for maybe the font, when typing in the names :P
The planet surfaces is what I spent most of my time on working. It uses open simplex noise, "domain warping" and a little spice that I came up with myself to get some more heterogeneity into the generation.
Basically in different parts of the terrain, different settings get plugged into the noise function. Here's a little toy version you can play with, if you are interested:
