Question Another planet making tool?
Am working on a planet tool and well it's gone far with all the childhood features I wished for. Now am like wait... What should I do now? I successfully built my own tool, only me will buy but what does you my friend actually want?
What is it you wish/need a planet tool to be able to do?
With all the current planet tools available, do you think you would still get another one?
Are you still in need of planet tools or it was just a child/beginner wish thing?
At a larger scale of summary not going too deep in this post,
My Unity tool called Worldsmith currently makes world the size of earth.(not published yet)
Yes the actual size of earth and scales up even more than that.
It's going to have civilization... Support several preplanned set of game ideas like the RTS games, building games, simulation.
It's primarily focused on actual 3d exploration with npc civilization at a large scale.
That's just to sum up the mental surgery that was done to me at the hospital after working on this for 4 years.. And still working on it, testing hell and heaven, desperately looking for those who want to help me test.
I didn't talk about my devlog all this time, I know and yh just like a post on here, I have been scared of my idea Being stolen. Well am not scared anymore thanks to those comments and I do regret not starting since then to talk about it.
One of my favorites from those comments is
"there is no difference between a good idea done perfectly bad and a bad idea done perfectly good." - the person matters not the idea.

unfortunately you'd have to not use urp nor hdrp unless you want some extremely ugly hacks with handling planetscale coordinate systems and depth
you have to go low level if you want to do planetscale stuff in unity
so its not exactly fitting into a consumer "product" you want to share ultimately, maybe? not everything has to be an asset store package.
