[1.6.1 | 1.5.1 | 1.4.5 | 1.3.1] The World Beyond Development Thread [v1.1.1 - 2018-10-31]

[TheProtagonists]

While fixing ice cap heightmaps I found out that the improved Zen's squiggly lines look awful...

Here's a quick solution that looks way better

On the other hand I feel like a lot of planets I made early in the development deserve remakes...

But if I do do that then the initial release is gonna take forever... so that's one more thing to do for future updates...

[TheProtagonists]

So I finally found a way to color small parts of a colormap...

this could get interesting...

 

In other news, the description for all 100 bodies are completed!

_{^{sadly the tpyos and grammar erorrs might still exist}}

[TheProtagonists]

Hold your beverages because the screenshot train is starting again!...

Today's stop: the Amaterasu system

main planet: Amaterasu

 

Moon 1: Hakurei - the world with the highest score on the Kerbin Similarity Index

 

Moon 2 that is in the exact same orbit with moon 1 but 180 deg apart: Jeanne - a world covered in golden corp fields _{^{(NOT deserts)}}

 

_{^{None of these two moon's name should bear any resemblance to anything you might have be thinking, and if you do, please wipe them from your memory}}

Today we introduce the best and the most unrealistic planet system in the Traverse System and possibly the entire mod:

The Overture System

Main planet - Overture

and it's pink fields

Overture's moon - Collide

Collide's moon - Parallel

Parallel's moon - Tack

So unrealistic. Gimme!

[TheProtagonists]

And now... 4 asteroid sized objects
Frisk - a very odd and dense sphere

Ranco - a silver oval

Ori - the mysterious glowing ball

I will have to hope that this doesn't mess with scatterer otherwise it might not make it to the final cut...

Tiamat - Traverse's comet

[TheProtagonists]

The second to last update on planets as we complete the final system: Sora

First moon - Mirai

The heightmap is actually a slightly modified Mars... but hopefully most people aren't gonna notice that

Second moon - Megumi

A "boring" desert planet... but it won't be

Sixth moon - Yukino

A world defrosting from its ice age

 

_{^{we make terrible and blatant references}}

[TheProtagonists]

This is it! ALL 83 planets with a surface are now complete!

For these are the final worlds around Sora:

Fifth moon - Lyria

Where almost every continent is a different biome

Third moon - Nishimiya

Once a barren world but no longer _{^{this one has Mercury's heightmap, but you probably can't tell}}

Fourth moon - Miyamizu

Shaped by an ancient impact

 

_{^{we make awful and blatant references}}

[TheProtagonists]

Getting ready for gas giant making...

Here's the first one: Kroadwell

This will more than likely be the most uneventful gas giant in the mod...

[TheProtagonists]

New gas giant - Newell

Not exactly final, probably will at least make the atmo rim less orange among other things...

 

[TheProtagonists]

~New gas giant~

Yama - home of really big^TM storms or half Jool

Right now it's quite dark and some storms are really hard to see, but after scatterer they should look way better

[TheProtagonists]

Kaze - a blue and more stripy gas giant

[TheProtagonists]

Hikari - the pink one
for some reason I don't see pink gas giants very often... but do not worry because you are about to see a few more in the following days

So this is where the red went when @Galileo took it all out of Gauss. Fascinating.

I can only think of one other pink gas giant...

[TheProtagonists]

Shima - a slightly plainer blue gas giant

not final... might have to improve on this for a bit...

[TheProtagonists]

Here are the final gas giants:

Sora - a huge pastel ball

Rin - a small pastel(?) ball

[TheProtagonists]

and... I already changed my mind

So this is what Shima looks like right now:

[TheProtagonists]

Ironically the first star I'm about to present isn't a star

But it's the only brown dwarf here - Wall

[TheProtagonists]

Barrier - the exotic star remnant

AKA the spinni boi

See it in action here

[TheProtagonists]

Every star is pretty much finished!

Sadly one of the bigger problem still remains... I still have no idea how to make sunflare...

Dawn

Oblivion

Eon

Traverse

Fragment

Ascension

Eternal

[TheProtagonists]

Now we move on to everybody's favorite:

RINGS!!!!1!!1!11!!!!one!!!!eleven!!11!

Starting with Paradise:

[TheProtagonists]

Here's Yama's ring

Fairly small for a gas giant

[TheProtagonists]

New rings just got made!

Kaze:

 

Hikari:

[TheProtagonists]

Oblivion's debris disc:

 

and Kaamo's ring:
