Ive played a little with this. Imagine the limitless creation power one could have at their disposal when coded to work with a game engine!

I've been using this for I think a year now? It was before he even had a separate English site. Pretty awesome

Hes adding Procedural galaxies in the next big update.

Fun things: Pandora from Avatar is in here, as well as Caprica's quadruple Starsystem from Battlestar Galactica "Cyrannus"

Challenge for everyone, find a planet closest to earth in figures like temp and gravity.
