BLAZE YOUR OWN TRAIL. *************************************************************** *************************************************************** What is procedural generation ? Core to Stellar Horizon is that its virtual galaxy, including the stars and planets, are all created through random procedural generation using deterministic algorithms. A single seed number is used to create these features via mathematical computation thus eliminating the need to create each of these features by hand. This enables the game to have a massively open nature: it is estimated that with the 32-bit seed number, Stellar Horizon virtual galaxy will include over 4 billion planets. Any player will be able to visit a specific planet once they know its galactic coordinates, given their spacecraft has the capability to do so, and find the same features as any other player, as these coordinates serve as the seed for the planet's topography and environment.
