Planet Forge(r)

When first developing Planet Wars I started drawing out little custom planets in photoshop, this was taking too long and I didnt like the idea of non-dynamic objects in my game. So, I started work on an automatic planet generator, and I quickly came up with a system that will generate an unlimited ammount of geologically diverse worlds with differing weather, oceans, and continenants. Its a pretty simple cool system, I hope to integrate better atmospheric effects and cities soon, along with Satellites and moons.
Currently the planets do not rotate, I choose not to do this because of the extra processing that would take and one of my main goals with planetwars is to keep the FPS high. Although I beleive in the final version I will add some super high quality options =D
Enjoy the pictures
