Planetary Weather Systems

[Obsydian]

From the SCUK Facebook page:

Was talking to Sean "Criminal" Tracy in the Discord chat. He spilled ALL THE BEANS. Talking about how they planned to simulate complex weather systems and said that the link below is what they're aiming for. Also said that they could do any size of planet, 1000km is just to keep it fun and they were moving at something like 10xSCM speeds in the demo which made it feel smaller. It's still larger than KSP's 600km.

Also how some ships won't be able to land due to the strength of their thrusters but that they might drop stuff from orbit.


Really nice guy, super helpful, obviously loves what he does, super techy which I love as I'm a programmer. +42, one of my favourite CIG staff all of a sudden.
They're calling for a "10 For The Criminal" at some point.


(He was trying to post a video which he said was his own prototype but I think they stopped him)
