I am making a flexible interaction system for #CosmosJourneyer

It already makes switching between vehicles smoother and will drive planetary POIs and NPC interactions next.

Vehicle physics finally working! Still a lot to do before releasing it, but driving around is already quite fun :)

This also paves the way for more physics-based mechanics coming to #CosmosJourneyer.

I may have angered the gods of physics engines ^^' At least the bugs are entertaining to watch!

Turns out I was computing some constraints in the wrong frame of reference.

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

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
