I shipped a procedural fantasy planet generator on Steam. Hobbyist. So excited and proud to have made something real.

I’ve been building this on and off for about a year in my spare time — a procedural fantasy world generator built in Godot 4.

It generates planets on an icosphere using tectonic simulation, a latitude × altitude × humidity biome classifier (27 biomes), fill-and-spill river and lake systems, and a civilization simulator where hundreds of species-based realms expand across the surface using a terrain affinity capture formula. There’s a history log that tracks things like “The Howling Wraiths have vanished from the world” and “The Gnomes have mastered 8 kinds of terrain.”

This was a hobby project that somehow became a real thing I finished. Reaching this finish line — actually shipping something — is the part I’m proud of. I mostly wanted to share it with people who might appreciate what went into it and just connect with other nerds who spend their free time thinking about orthographic rain shadows, tectonic plates, hydrological modeling, graph algorithms and or just like building stuff. Cheers!
