So I just discovered that I did not, in fact, have my inbox open. It was just set to accept people I follow. 😅
Should be fixed now, my bad!

For those who have questions regarding aspect of my game, my inbox is always open! I aim to maintain absolute transparency in my development process, because not doing so is flat-out disrespectfull and misleading to any past, present, and future players of my games.

Star Dancers DOES use AI in its development, but I like to maintain transparency in HOW it's used.
TL;DR: AI is used in debugging and personal learning. I DO NOT use, nor have any intention to use AI for anything front-end related content like art or music.

I've managed to make a *little* progress with the orbit system. I've got the core mechanics down for orbit, it's just a matter of math tinkering, testing and stubbornness.
And coffee, lots of coffee.
Gods I wish I paid attention in math class back in Highschool.

Okay, I think I've decided to start working on Planetary Orbits, which TECHNICALLY means I lied about being done with the Galaxy Map but 🤷
This is going to SUCK, especially since I'm trying to do big-brain math on tiny brain.
When I say orbit, I'm not JUST talking circular.

You can now select planets by clicking on them, is a tip I garnered from a friend a few days ago. I'm embarrassed at how long this took me.
Now that Map functionality is complete (for now), I need to figure out what to work on next. I'm kinda bad at planning😅

If you ever hear me complaining about player feedback, just know that I TRULY AM appreciative and respect your opinions.
I'm just American, and thus genetically obligated to bitch about every slightest inconvenience despite living in a first world country.
Legit tho, I love you all. Stay hydrated.

Personal Game Dev Tip:
Don't fully develop games on state-of-the-art hardware.
A lot of devs (especially AAA) use modern game tech as a crutch to offset bad optimization, then blame it on "bad PC specs", which is flat-out disrespectful to less fortunate gamers.

I may be pouring a little TOO much love into the map mechanics. Added the ability to zoom in and out and focus on individual planets. Also changed around the UI to allow you to focus on the system's sun itself.

Updated the map to only display Scanned and Visited Planets in a Star System. Undiscovered planets will be replaced with an 'Undiscovered Planet' shader, and have their names other other details omitted.

Finally modified the save system to keep track of player's last visited star systems. Needed to make the system flexible since the save files grow similar to that of Noita or Starbound where data is generated ONLY after visiting new areas.

In the meantime, here's the beginnings of Terrain Manipulation!

So I'm adding some UI to the galaxy map to display star systems and their planets (planets that have not been visited will be blurred out when playing). What are your thoughts of the UI composition here?
Just looking for feedback before I commit too much to it.

So I FINALLY managed to get the star system map to display planets dynamically using their respective seed.
There's only one system type at the moment, but each star color will be it's own type with a different color and (hopefully) mechanically different sun and planets.

I made a LOT of optimizations to the galaxy map, and it runs buttery smooth even on my old and decrepit laptop.
Also added in a better UI which generates ALL the data for any solar system when looking at it.
Hoping to make this UI as simple and intuitive as possible.

Really proud of myself with how majestic and ambient this looks, both as a programmer and an artist, even though it's so simple.
