By the way, the game is #opensource (AGPL license), you can have a look at the code and even improve it at github.com/BarthPaleolo...

After 4 years of work, here’s the first deep look at #CosmosJourneyer, my open-source space exploration game:

Play it free in-browser: cosmosjourneyer.com

What stands out to you? Raw feedback helps make the game better!

Forum user CrashMaster built Cosmos Journeyer - an entirely procedural infinite universe that you can explore! Crazy Cool!

And this effect works for any telescope size. This is part of an upcoming procedural space telescope generator for #CosmosJourneyer. In the future, players will be able to use the telescopes to find interesting destinations among the stars! #procgen #gamedev

What would you see if you stood on #JamesWebb 🔭secondary mirror? You would be standing at the focal point of the primary mirror's parabola, meaning most rays converge toward you!

This creates this fun image duplication effect I modeled using #babylonjs

What a cool feature and demo! Now I can go crazy with spot-lights to light my space stations

Drop what you're doing and go explore an infinite procedural universe inside of a web page! Brought to you by forum user CrashMaster

Just released a new version of #CosmosJourneyer! This one overhauls planetary ring rendering and improves stability quite a bit. You can try it out freely at cosmosjourneyer.com and find the patch notes on github: github.com/BarthPaleolo... #gamedev #space

When you get closer to the rings, like #Cassini did, the glow becomes a dot like in this picture from #Nasa This is also the case with the Hapke model in #CosmosJourneyer [3/3]

It can be observed from Earth when our planet is aligned with #Saturn and the sun as seen in this image from www.planetary.org/space-images... [2/3]

When crossing the solar disk as seen from #Saturn and looking at the rings, you can witness what's called Opposition Surge: a sudden spike in brightness. Here it is simulated in #CosmosJourneyer using parts of the Hapke lighting model [1/3] #space

I wanted to make some stats on some of my repos, and I could not find a tool to plot the usage of each language over time.

So I made it myself: github.com/BarthPaleolo...

Works on any git repo, you can filter languages and specify a time frame among other things! #programming #dataisbeautiful

Making progress on the most beautiful planet in our solar system! I let you guess which one is from #Cassini and which one is from #CosmosJourneyer #gamedev #space

Are you making a game? Then you know finding visual regressions can be tricky and time consuming.

I wrote a small tutorial to automate this process for web games with playwright. It runs on any machine and in your CI with Docker: barthpaleologue.github.io/Blog/posts/w... #gamedev
