PixelPlanets VS PixelPlanetsAPI

Hey! It can be said that it will be half pixel art. Every thing on the game map will be Pixel Art. All planets and moons are and will be generated by deep fold pixel planets. The space stations and satellites will be also pixel art (I didn't draw anything beautiful to show at the moment). I only posted a picture of one planet this time, but I had posted more in my previous post. And the spaceships will be pixel art, because I want to use the "Pixel" addon by "Alttab" for Blender.

An important consideration is that Pixel Planets appears to be designed as a standalone GUI focused tool rather than something to integrate directly into a game. The main use-case of the tool seems to be outputting png, gif, or spritesheet exports for user generated planets. I guess the aim is to allow people to generate planets that they can import into their games, rather than use the generation in a game itself. It's not really designed as a "plug-and-play" module or plugin for games. It would require a fair amount of work to integrate it.

new: some more color gradients based on existing assets or randomly generated planets off the net (I referenced https://github.com/Deep-Fold/PixelPlanets mostly)

You can find the spherify function here: https://github.com/Deep-Fold/PixelPlanets/blob/55cb94df13e8fd11ee8350dbd4b2391457d640dc/Planets/Rivers/LandRivers.shader#L62

Interestingly, there is another version of this project by the same creator called Pixel Planets API. The API.gd script has some examples and instructions for how to export a planet image on demand using the function _create_planet. It would require some adapting to integrate it with another game or tool, but I think that could be easier than trying to integrate the original. Its output is still an exported file (png, gif, or spritesheet) though.
