Hey guys!

I was curious to see if anyone had any feedback to give on the random planet generator. Any glitches or issues with the site?

As well, at some point in the near future I’m going to attempt changing the format of the mobile site. I also have a “miscellaneous” category in the works that would give out a random fact about the planet—any suggestions?

Tall alien plants reach hundreds of meters into a pale blue sky. The colonists live in   tall cities of steel and concrete under airtight domes, beside rivers that flow into the planet's oceans. The cities are dominated by the headquarters of wealthy corporations that rule the population for their owners' enrichment. In the first city stand monuments to the 480 colonists who died building the first settlement and the seedship AI that guided humanity to its new home.

So, I got inspired by this little Unity tech-demo-y thing by the very talented Oskar Stålberg.  Specifically I was interested in the terrain "painting".  So, I made this little mockup idea in photoshop.  At its core, its two noise layers, one base and one "dodge and burn", run through a threshold and then colored with gradient ramps (using the grayscale values for height)  My future plan is to try and port all the functionality into a java or HTML5 applet, so anyone can use it online. Anyway, if you want to play around with it, you can grab the .psd here (obviously being a .psd, you will need photoshop to open it)
