Devlog : Planet surface


I have focused lately on the surface part of the game, the so-called side view of a planet's region, mostly working on the "engine" of this game module rather than the visual stuff, but here are some screenshots, nonetheless. A region is a single hexagonal tile on the planisphere. When zooming even more to this tile you will end up in the side view, the flora, fauna, geology, atmospheric conditions and the local civilisations are represented in details. This whole view represents a small significant area of the region.
There are over 100 different species of flora, I simulate a suitability score for each of them to determine which species will win the competition become the dominant ones.

There are subterranean species as well, in underground biomes, they can be found in seemingly lifeless planets.
Another type of dominant lifeform are the giant worms, I have expanded theirs AI, and the way they grow.
And here is another thriving lifeform, constituting above's luxury desert:

There are hundreds of different buildings, each one has its equivalent in the 5 technological eras :

  • Primitive, comparable to our "stone age".
  • "Medieval", encompassing a equivalently broad period of our history.
  • Industrial, specifically with the technological advances of the past 2-3 centuries.
  • Modern (our own era)
  • Spacefaring.
Of course this doesn't merely change the aesthetics of a civilisation, but this isn't the subject of this devlog. Check this post to know more. Many buildings are built by the private sector, without the intervention of the player, but some are to be placed manually, or planified. To those who just discovered the project, here is also a glimpse of the liquid and destruction system :

    Antimatter is a strategy game in a simulated galaxy where you create and incarnate a character.
    In command of your spaceship, trade, fight, explore or lead an interstellar empire.

    You will dive into a complex universe where you, a mere player, is the insignificant cog of a cruel simulation.

    Features


    • Thousands of systems and planets to explore in a gigantic instantiated galaxy.
    • A dynamic universe where dozens of factions struggle for power or survival.
    • Take command of a spaceship, trade, mine, harvest, scavenge, produce and participate in the simulated economy.
    • Manage an existing city or found a new colony on any planet.
    • Climb the political ladder of a commercial corporation or a sovereign organisation, or found a new one from scratch.
    • Interact with AI characters who are living independant and simulated life in the Antimatter universe.
    • Terraform entire planets by altering their atmospheric compositions.
    • Fulfil missions for corporations, factions or individuals, or unravel the secrets of this galaxy.
    • Get involved in the Antimatter Crisis and try to change yourself the course of history.

      How To play ?


      Antimatter is a RPG that plays as a grand strategy game, you have neither omniscience or omnipotence, most of your responsibility can be delegated to spaceship captains and governors if you control any territory.
      No micromanagement is required, you have the freedom to deal with the businesses that interests you the most.
      Antimatter plays in the intersideral space, on the planet's surface or in the mysterious undergrounds, you can play all the way from a space journeyman to a galactic emperor.



      Create and customise your galaxy with all available options, such as the stellar systems count and types or the historical events that will impact the simulation of civilisations through the ages.
      • An universe generated and simulated across billions of years with a realistic accretion model of gas and dust.
      • A simulation of civilisations through thousands of years, filled with historical events.
      • Asteroids, comets, nebulae, planets and many other astral objects to explore.






      • A wide range of planets, entirely simulated and procedurally generated.
      • A procedurally generated geology.
      • A realistic and dynamic atmospheric simulation.
      • Terraform entire planets by altering their atmospheric composition.





      All civilisations are procedurally generated and simulated through thousands of years. Ruins, monuments, POIs and ancient artefacts exist thanks to this detailed simulation.



      • Manage your crew and the specialty of your crewmembers.
      • Customise your spaceship with many modules and choose from dozens of different spaceships.
      • A radar simulation with passive and active detection, which rewards stealth and reconnaissance.
      • A varied range of weapons, such as missiles capable of crossing millions of kilometres.
      • Manage your fleet and hosted ships.
      • Land on any planet or asteroid in the galaxy.
      • Study and harvest exoctic flora.
      • Meet and profit from ancient civilisations.









        • Create and incarnate a character, define his physical and psychological traits, his education, characteristic and skills and his appearance.
        • NPCs have their life simulated from birth, each trait and characteristics come from an experience in their lives.
        • NPCs have their own artificial intelligence, they act by themselves with the same liberty as the player. You are not the only actor in this universe. NPCs also contribute to the political system of organisations.






        Create, or be part of a commercial corporation, a sovereign state or a criminal organisation, fulfil missions and climb the ladder of the organisation.
        • Trade goods.
        • Mine and harvest ressources and objects.
        • Manage and build space stations, and produce new spaceships.
        • Embrace a pirate's life with extorsions and deceiving actions.
        • Administrate cities and territories, or lead an entire empire.
        • Participate in the organisation's political intrigues.
        • Lead and organise a fleet by using your influence.







        THe terrain of each planetary region (tile) can be explored and can even be the location of a colony. Each region has its own geology, a simulated biosphere and can host ancient ruins generated during the historical simulation.
        • Manage the city's industry, trade, demography and its political aspects.
        • Plan the city's defences against orbital threats.
        • Develop and extend the city's frontier across the planet.
        • Explore deep and mysterious subterranean regions.
        • A destructible environment and a liquid simulation.
        • A dynamic weather system.
        • A monstruous fauna (only giant worms for now).







        Change the climate of an entire planet by slowly modifying its atmospheric composition, observe the chain reactions on its geology, hydrosphere and its biosphere thanks to a detailed and realistic atmospheric simulation.
        The flora is entirely simulated where each species' reign depends on local conditions and the other competing species.
