Been searching for a long time for a planet solution in Unreal. I’m surprised no one has done this well yet. We tried Worldscape plugin but it left us wanting. Very interested in this. Keep us posted

@StoneRhinoGBL and @BradWarrenSA Thank you for your interest. I am currently working on this part-time. I will keep you updated.

Just too exciting to read this. I am searching for a similar solution. I can only found worldscape plugin but there are still some unknown question to be resolved while using that; such as : planet compatable water/ ocean system, and landscape material compatibility. If @sessid you are actively developing this, I hope you will consider this topics into your roadmap :slight_smile: looking forward to your great plugin. Any plan releaseing an alpha version etc?

Thank you, @abitcrazy, for your interest and feedback.

Yes, we are investigating the support of Water/Ocean systems and PCG. However, some landscape-specific features are not compatible with the planet generation system without engine changes.

I had to put the project on pause while I worked on a different project, but I have recently returned to it.

I’ve been watching this thread since it started, and was curious what’s been happening as it’s been nearly a year since there has been any news. A lot of great screenshots and video, but wondering when we can hear about some actual technical stuff, and see a tangible product (ie, a plugin we can buy).

People are hungry to make planets/solar system scale gameplay and simulations, and our solution options are pretty limited or expensive. While those solutions might not be expensive for some, the cost is prohibitive for me, since I’m quite poor!

Anyhow, I hope your projects are going well, and would very much like to hear what’s new and when (if ever) we can expect a plugin to experiment with for hobby/learning projects, or hopefully utilize in a production project.

Hello Derjyn,

Thank you for your interest!

I’m currently working on the project part-time. The core technology is ready, and I’m now focusing on the user interface as well as developing the business model.

I’d really appreciate your feedback—especially regarding your expectations around features and pricing.

Thanks again!
