From orbit
to the living room.

Procedural features

• The seed decides the star class, five to eight planets, moons, rings and the asteroid belt.
• There are seven planet types: terran, ocean, desert, ice, volcanic, barren and gas giant. Each has its own palette, atmosphere and generator rules.
• Planet textures are baked from the same tile map as the globe, so the continents you see from orbit are the ones you land on.
• The night side of a planet is dotted with city lights, volcanic planets glow with lava, and NPC ships travel through the system.

Procedural features

• The globe is built from hexagon tiles and 12 pentagons with accurate neighbours (a Goldberg polyhedron). The tile count is adjustable.
• Terrain comes from 3D simplex noise on the sphere, so there is no seam at the poles. The result runs from deep sea to coast, beach, grassland, forest, desert, tundra and snowy mountains.
• Coastlines and biome borders are rounded with contours instead of following the straight hexagon edges.
• Rivers wind toward the sea. Neighbouring mountains merge into a single range.
• There are two civilizations, fantasy and modern, with cities, land roads (A*), sea routes between ports, and bridges that appear automatically where a road crosses a river.
• The seed, sea level and mountain density can be changed, or press Shuffle world for a new planet and solar system.

The Settings panel (menu icon) holds the seed, sea level, mountain density, tile count and the hexagon outline toggle.

Procedural features

• The town is cut from the planet tiles. Coastlines, rivers, mountains and roads out of town match what you see on the globe, projected to metre scale.
• Fantasy towns have streets radiating from a plaza, walls and gates, market stalls, wells and docks. Modern towns have a street grid, pavements, tall buildings in the centre, parks and street lamps.
• Buildings are placed from the real footprint of each asset and face the street, so they never clip into each other.
• Around the town there are fields in parallel rows, forests, foothills, beaches, lakes and bridges where roads cross rivers.
• The 2D planner rerolls the layout and sets the density without changing the terrain. It locks once you have built a house, so that house is not broken.
• Residents walk the streets, traffic moves, and day turns to night with the world clock, with lights on after dark. The look can be Normal or Pixel.

Procedural features

• The seed produces the plan, roof, stairs, openings, furniture suited to each room and the yard. A new seed starts over, while Variation reshuffles the automatic parts and keeps what you have edited.
• There are three styles: Classic (brick and gable roof), Cottage and Tropical Modern, each with its own materials, furniture and plants.
• A house can have 1 to 3 floors plus an attic. A plan can be boxes, free-angled polygons or curves, including round rooms.
• The 2D map and the 3D model read from one design, so an edit in either shows up in the other right away.
• Roofs can be gable, hip or cone. Height and eaves can be adjusted, split by section, or dragged directly in 3D.
• Items attach to the floor, a wall or a table. Invalid positions are marked red and rejected. Apply also rejects a yard that runs into a road or a neighbouring plot.
• The draft saves automatically with Undo and Redo until you press Apply to town.
