I’ve been waiting for this for so long! I love this because it reminds me of Outer Wilds and I love that game. Thank you so much. Also, for some ideas, maybe you could make an asteroid belt by generating lots of little asteroids of varying sizes, shapes, and colors, and making them go in orbit close to each other. You could also take the clouds from the clouds coding adventure and make them rotate/orbit around a point in the center of the planet and make them far away enough so that they are where they should be in the atmosphere. Perhaps you could even make gas planets by making the clouds larger and have them be varying colors. Lastly, maybe it would be cool if you could add a Hyperspace function to your ship which lets you travel to another solar system and basically reloads it so you can explore a new, fresh solar system. and by the way, congrats on 400k subs!

U the GOAT dude, really I have learned so much from this channel, keep it up you make one of the best content on here!

Please don't stop with this project! Add the clouds that you did in your previous project. Anyways, you're an inspiration man, I really enjoy your videos!

Procedurally generated magic!

I think people are more referring to how the results have a certain magical appeal to them. Yes, it's just math, but he uses that math to create amazing things and he can tell you how he did it but that doesn't change the way the results make you feel. In a way it's almost more impressive that these things are the results of math, rather than sculpted and textured by hand. I think it also helps that he has good eye for color pallet selection, and/or a very good algorithm for color selection, since he was randomizing the planet and moon colors at one point, yet most of those color pallets still worked and where pleasing in that weird way that Sebastian's color pallets always are...

Thanks! Yeah will definitely need to figure out some good optimizations, but there's a lot of cool possibilities :)

@@SebastianLague *arc-cos*: Is this like a personal attack or something? xD

@@SebastianLague for the planet heightmaps you could dispatch vertices on x and y compute axes and craterCount on z axis. If you convert a float to a unorm 32 with a min and a max, you could do atomic operations on them. This means your cache is way more coherent since every xy will read from the same crater until the z changes. And there won't be a for loop anymore. But since this is a one time thing it's probably not worth it (unless you generate with lots of verts and craters). Triplanar mapping is normally the heaviest part (especially with multiple textures like diffuse, metallic, roughness, etc.). But I haven't found a good way to get around this, except for introducing a seam or using procedural 3d textures. Or by reducing texture bandwidth and samples (like using rg32f instead of rgba8 albedo, r16f metallic, r16f roughness seperately. This does require manual unpacking and interpolation tho). This is an interesting series, keep up the great work

@@MartianSantas It seems like foxes aren't very happy about it and immediately slaughter them. Rabbits will have to find another planet to solve their overpopulation because of exponential growth

Probably because that's exactly what he's done in this video - I recognize stuff that was covered in more detail in several previous videos (Perlin noise, how to make meshes of spheres, colouring terrain etc.), and I think he even said explicitly this project was going to be an excuse to combine things learned in previous projects.

Imagine bringing the boids for the oceans, the simulated ecosystem for the lands and the cloud simulation into this

@@bamfyu I'm 99% sure he'll bring the clouds in.

@@russellbloxwich693 I'm almost certain he won't.... or not in the form as he showed in the cloud video. It was incredibly heavy on performance and to have _just clouds_ take up so much processing power isn't really sensible for a star system simulation. If it was something like an airship simulator or whatever then there might be a case for performance-heavy clouds as it'd be important for the game, but not like this

@@russellbloxwich693 ​ @Tomáš Karlík Yes he'll have to go through a ton of optimization, and I'm not sure he wants to, as it's not supposed to be the focus of the series.

Sometimes, reading code is a lot harder than to write it. This is one of those times: you're seeing this quickly in a 20 minute video when it took the guy several hours or days. Also, keep in mind he's been using the time-honored tradition of copying and pasting code from other sources (such as the noise code). You don't have to understand a piece of code to be able to use it effectively.

And he probably has an IQ above 150. Great thing is that his humbleness hasn't eroded.

I'm hoping we can get a reply from him?

Yesterday evening i had the idea of watching this video to relax and learn a bit about the topic. Quickly started to notice that the content will blow my mind and if i continue watching i wouldn't sleep but think of the code all the time and do researches myself. This is such high-class, just genius!

There's 2 months between first and second video. Plus take into account work/life balance, free time, his video editing skills, he might also work on something else...also his project is probs more advanced than he shows, he waits for enough content to make a video. Still pretty fast with all this in mind, not sure I would achieve the same result even with the 2 months *fulltime* :p

Great ideas, I could definitely see this become a badass strategy game, involving various gameplay elements such as technological advancement, resource gathering, and working to cohabit the various ecosystems in your world without destroying them. Could make it really difficult to sustainably develop your planetary system without destroying your planets, for realism, of course.

yeah great idea, it would be cool to if the game has a bad or good ending, which the players will chose, the good ending was to adapt to ecosystems and live in a sustainable way, or the bad ending, where to build the ship the player chooses to use all resources without caring about the planet, making it uninhabitable, and escaping to another planet with the resources, until he builds the ship
