Poly Planets
Poly Planets is a stylized, low-poly sandbox game for smartphones where you take on the role of a higher power that can move the moon and stars.
For my Uni course I had to create a games design document, I decided to take it a step further and create a prototype. The game allows the player to control celestial objects through touch and drag controls to form stars and planets that orbit each other.
Simulations don't make good games
The game has gotten to a much more polished point however just the simulation mechanic alone is not that fun. Not entirely sure where to go with this project so I'm gonna shelve it for now.
Orbital Mechanics
Got gravity working using F = Gx(m1xm2/r^2). Every object gravitational pull has an effect and is taken into account every frame. Now to implement this properly using Unity's job system.
Concept
A few concept images I made in photoshop with a small planet I moddeled in Blender.
