I've been thinking about the future of this project, and believe me, I'm far from giving up on it (if you were worried cause I wasn't active or something). I am currently coming up with a method to design ships, and I just finished temperate planet generation.
Its time to make some real decisions about first release. Now that all the planets are ready, its time to get the map set up. I feel like the best thing to do for first release, is to release a boxed in area of ~200 stars of content. This is a good start to the game, and if I waited till everything was done before releasing it would take forever. This project is going to be a slow and steady process, with many releases adding more features over time. So, the project is going to start with a tiny bubble of stars with the Solar System in the center, and the first release is mainly going to be about humanity.
I've decided to scratch random planet generation for now. Instead, I'm going to hand design each individual star system. This way, they will have the quality I am aiming for.
Things are either about to get serious, or I'm about to get over my head. Or both. Lets hope I can figure out how to get this done.
