January Update Is Live With Life!

Hi Everyone,

In this month's Exoplanet update, let there be life! Procedural animal life, that is.

There's lots of behind the scenes changes in this update. The life forms are in a very alpha state, however basic path finding and wandering should work acceptably.

Note, the little (and big) critters may get stuck occasionally, procedural life on procedural terrain can be a challenge.

Other changes include:

  • Improvements to the terrain generation.
  • Much faster teleportation.
  • More accurate grass/tree/rock positioning.
  • Scan bubbles for planets and systems.
  • Fixes to the planet meta-data and more accurate gravity readings.
  • Some minor font adjustments.

Enjoy!
