Pixel Planet Generator

EDIT: Just noticed the dev logs - will look at those :)

seriously impressive work - I wanted to try do something similar but find dealing with shaders very difficult - don't suppose you have any advice on learning what's required to do something like this? 

I'm an engineer so understand the fundamentals just cannae ken shaders

Thanks for these! they are great!

This is awesome. Using it for the Indie Galactic Space Jam 2024.

This is so cool, i wish i had a use for it haha

add more galaxy shapes!

I used it to make a few planets for my menu: https://iamsul.itch.io/starshooter

Its freaking awesome thanks!

Looks amazing! Would you mind sharing some technical details? Is it using geometry? What procedural generation techniques did you use?

Unreal! Absolutely love it. Plans to make similar generators in the future?

this is so sick. great job

i wanna see custom made moons n stuff

This is one of the coolest art generation tools I've come across. Will definitely be using this and citing you in my spaceship building game!

Hey, it’s a really cool tool you’ve created! What’s the license for the generated sprites? Am I allowed to use them in a complete game template and sell it on a marketplace like the Unity Asset Store? I’ll make sure to give proper credit if needed. Thanks!

Hey, I made a game using your generator.
It's called Dr.Planet :D
Thank you, this  helped a lot.

Nice, can you make our Solar System as a pack with this exact theme?

Can u make a port for Game Maker Studio 2 ??? Please

Love this, it's delightful! 

I thought you should know there's a bug when you export the black hole as a spritesheet or gif here on itch. The accretion disk wobbles back and forth for some reason when the frames are assembled. The hole is stationary completely but the accretion disk wobbles about some invisible axis.

Can I export the planet as an HTML file and still keep its rotating effects?

This is an amazing tool! I will be using this for some game assets and will make sure to include credit.  Thank you!

This is perfect for my space game project, I was wondering if there was a way to change or remove the light focus/direction on the planets. 

Damn, this is cool as hell, it would be nice if there was a setting with Earth in it though

Super cool Asset!

One of the most amazing tools on the site! Absolutely love this and the Space Background generator. I've used some images from them in my latest jam game, and it couldn't be easier with the way you set it up. Really fantastic work, thank you very much for putting it out there for everyone.

Great tool, I'd love a way to change the rings on gas giant 2, or just add rings to different planets either way

Hi :)  Love this. I found it a year ago and keep coming back to mess around with it. I was just wondering if this can apply a texture onto a sphere or is it only for 2d?

how do i find where i exported it. spritesheet wise

Hey Deep-Fold, awesome, awesome tool!

It gives me inpiration to work on a game, and I'm reusing your planet scenes directly from a fork of your github repo, as I love the flexibility compared to just using sprite sheets. Thank you for sharing!

Your code is very clean, and it's easy to just instanciate a planet and benefit from its methods; but I noticed a thing that annoyed me: I don't know if it is intentional or not but Asteroid scene and NotAtmosphere scene have a 'custom_minimum_size' of (100,100) instead of (0,0) for the other scenes. No impact on your tool, but for people trying to generate several planets on a screen and resize them, it makes it harder to align correctly compared to the other scenes.

Another tiny thing that can help is also to set all shader materials 'local_to_scene' to allow several different planets of the same type on the screen. I did it programmatically (I hate the UI) within the _ready() func of planet.gd with:

'for c in get_children():

c.material.resource_local_to_scene = true'

Anyway, once more: Thank you for this tool, thank you for the github repo, I hope I will be able to share an exciting demo someday with you :)

Is there any way to generate more frames with higher resolution? Becasuse when i generate less than 60 frames, star rotates way too fast. Is there any feature to generate more frames, maybe by parts?

Absolutely love this! Just used it for my latest video, and will definitely be coming back!

Trying to match the amazing aesthetic of the stars your generator can make is tricky, but I'm getting there :) Here's one of them with a ring world!

Simply wonderful. I kinda wish I was making a space game now :-D 

I assume there is now way to make it resemble earth, right? (I mean with the approximate size, location and shape of the continents). 

Thank you for sharing this in any case. I absolutely love the look of the planets this tool generates. 

This is amazing... thank you for sharing with everyone!

Hey there :) Wanted to let you know I'm using this for a title I'm working on:

Cosmic Cosmonaut

I will definitely include you in the credit section on release.

Amazing! Something you should add is rotation sliders for all axes, or some way to rotate the planet in the gif the same way the "rotation" slider works in the editor. Overall this is really cool and ill be using it and the space background generator for a game mod im working on.

This is awesome! Will definitely be using this. One oddity I noticed is the No Atmosphere planet has a random square on it.  Any chance that could be fixed?

This is EXACTLY what I need for my up coming space game. Thank you! this is an amazing tool

So great! 🤩

I do have some Features you could potentially add:

• A button that records a full 360° turn of  the planet
• Population

This is Amazing ! And for Godot!

Do you plan on doing an update for RPG Maker MV or MZ?
