Vehicle physics finally working! Still a lot to do before releasing it, but driving around is already quite fun :)

This also paves the way for more physics-based mechanics coming to #CosmosJourneyer.

I may have angered the gods of physics engines ^^' At least the bugs are entertaining to watch!

Turns out I was computing some constraints in the wrong frame of reference.

After 4 years of work, here’s the first deep look at #CosmosJourneyer, my open-source space exploration game:

Play it free in-browser: cosmosjourneyer.com

What stands out to you? Raw feedback helps make the game better!

And this effect works for any telescope size. This is part of an upcoming procedural space telescope generator for #CosmosJourneyer. In the future, players will be able to use the telescopes to find interesting destinations among the stars! #procgen #gamedev

Just released a new version of #CosmosJourneyer! This one overhauls planetary ring rendering and improves stability quite a bit. You can try it out freely at cosmosjourneyer.com and find the patch notes on github: github.com/BarthPaleolo... #gamedev #space

When you get closer to the rings, like #Cassini did, the glow becomes a dot like in this picture from #Nasa This is also the case with the Hapke model in #CosmosJourneyer [3/3]

When crossing the solar disk as seen from #Saturn and looking at the rings, you can witness what's called Opposition Surge: a sudden spike in brightness. Here it is simulated in #CosmosJourneyer using parts of the Hapke lighting model [1/3] #space

Making progress on the most beautiful planet in our solar system! I let you guess which one is from #Cassini and which one is from #CosmosJourneyer #gamedev #space
