FINALLY got a fucking environmental classification scheme out of the way that should at least be relatively universally applicable

who knew how long that could get if you're trying to work off of existing systems for this kind of thing and extend them to fit damn near every vaguely earth-like planet possible

shit takes up like 45,000 characters/7,000 words all of its own and it's still broad as hell

speaking of which yeah hi I've been working on a general .txt file for any aspiring sci-fi artists/writers on how to handle planets/habitable moons and shit accurately

working on this thing some more with the perfect work music for a project like this https://awoo.space/media/ZsfTh9G6OSypdc5lIZQ

writing more about evolution/how life works for this damn document, found out along the way that box jellyfish have eyes

lots of them

surprisingly human-like ones

I'm not entirely sure if I should scream, be intrigued or in awe, and I'm pretty sure the English language lacks a real word for the emotion I'm currently having

Cranked out like a chapter and a half for this, 3,415 words added to the pile

I'm spent lmao

been working on this more still lately and... think I've got all the actual astronomy bits down?

got an overview of stars and possible star systems, physical params for habitable worlds, atmospheres, climatology, a bunch of writing on the overall biosphere, huge chapter on how to render all of that visually including sky and visual sun colors, effects on shadows, various atmospheric phenomena, etc

think I'm ready to move on to the actual worldbuilding bits?

in other news, can you tell I really like writing from a non-human perspective https://awoo.space/media/2-UahhMm3fSf-aY8hkA

kinda proud of myself that I managed to keep this not-horny somehow given the subject matter 👀 https://awoo.space/media/9ZDJ0IzASalbya4Ubk4
