First Look at the Solar System view

I guess this is the first dev-blog I'll make for this project. First of all, welcome and I hope you will enjoy! I will try to post these blogs regularly when I feel like there's something interesting to share about the development. I'll try to sprinkle some fun facts and hints about the game here and there but I'm not really a writer :) 

Decided to go with Godot for this one, I've used it before and I like it. Unity is nice as well, but I don't want to have to think about royalties and stuff. I'll definitely donate to the Godot project as thanks when the game is successful! :)

A few days of development and we got the first view of the game, the solar system view where we will be able to send ships between different bodies (planets, moons and asteroids). Currently only has the inner planets and moons but it's a start :) I'll do my best to implement real orbital maths for at least plausible realism though the focus of the game is more on the colonization and strategy side.

Found some nice textures off SolarSystemScope for all the planets and moons and that's what I'm using for now. Still haven't used the cloud layer textures but I'll add them at some point, or might make a shader for that, will see :)
