Cool, Would you mean all the planets on one image, or separate images for each planet and then a little description of them?

I'm interested in this...

Maybe both, show the view of the entire solar system, then maybe smaller pics of each individual planet.

Make your own story, your own cannon and continuity. Your own universe.

There are times when you want to break down and rage at the heavens. Don't. Stay calm, and let the emotions flood in, accept them and then rise above them. Never dwell. Don't fear or worry. Anything worth thinking about is worth talking about. And... Good luck.

Oh I gotcha. I'll work on this, I already have a base storyline for the first planet...

I'm a writer, just ask if you need any help on that. Maybe we'll get a full-on badass story set up, who knows?

Ya, I was so pissed that he died...  >:(

Dude, let's do it! Tell me specs, story, etc. and I will design it. You can be kinda like the director. And if I get my digital graphics and animation teacher in on it we might be able to make the system have orbit and what not!

So, thoughts?

So, thoughts?

I hate Solar Systems with ALL inhabitable planets. They suck and are SO unrealistic, even with terra-forming and LOLZOMGSUPERTECH!

And truth be told, I prefer single planet adventures FAR more than extra-planetary ones. (Despite how unrealistic THAT may be. :\ )

But... I have an idea, a pretty far fetched one, but I think it's good.

First, we need a sun sized planet. Massive beyond massive. Then the moons surrounding it will be the "Solar System" some close enough that they are still in the atmosphere of our giga-planet.

Oh yes, there will be blood, and monsters, dragons, demons, beasts of all sizes!

Ha ha, I'll get to work on our "Giga-Planet" What should the surface look like on this planet, Because that's the hardest part. Splicing and putting back together different textures to get the surface.

Well, the thing is, is it doesn't need to look to amazing or extravagant; just a very large planet, which when it's not compared to other planet-moons, looks like it's the same as any other celestial body, except with maybe smaller landmasses compared to the size of the planet.

Well, it's big, and there's nothing wrong with red, but it's also an inhabitable planet, y'see? Needs SOME water *hint* and some land*hint* but feel free to make whatever color you want besides that. And if possible, have it look like maybe there's some super-cites *hint* maybe some gray (I wouldn't say much in comparison though, maybe a dot or somethign), and maybe some floating landmasses, but IDK how to do that, and if you don't either, then don't worry about it.

And if at any time I'm asking too much tell me; I know how hard it is to make things, and you've no obligation to me whatsoever, so... Yeah, all about fun here!
