Paint a Galaxy
The rewrite/redesign released in March promised greater productivity from a code technical perspective, and a UI that could more easily adapt to additional features. Good news, it worked! I've been able to release many large and small features the past 2 months:
choose placement of unique systems (by setting
initializiers)set custom solar system names
configurable snap-to-grid with various grid types (square, triangle, hex, radial)
new drawing tools (ellipse, rectangle, line)
export and import projects
clone projects
pan the map with arrows/WASD
step-specific canvas opacity settings (so you can optionally reference your painting or uploaded image in the Tweak step)
in-app guides for Gigastructural Engineering core
various fixes to both the app and the mod
Paint a Galaxy is still my focus. In the coming weeks, I plan to work on:
custom fallen empire spawn areas
move systems with a drag & drop tool
symmetry tools
Then I'll run another poll in Discord to help drive priorities.
