Hello fellow explorer!\n I am the creator of Cosmos Journeyer, and I am glad you're interested in this project. It was years in the making you see: back in 2016 already, when I was working on my 3D planetarium, I dreamed about making the planets fully explorable. But then I was limited by how little I knew about computer graphics.\n \n I only started Cosmos Journeyer years later as a way to escape from the stress of my studies in French "classes préparatoires". At first, it was only a small procedural planet generator, which was called PlanetEngine. But as ideas kept on coming, I continued working on it for years and the project grew way beyond what I had imagined at first.\n \n As I understand now that such projects cannot be achieved alone, I decided to open-source Cosmos Journeyer so that anyone could freely use and modify it to their liking and even contribute to the project.\n \n I hope you will enjoy Cosmos Journeyer as much as I enjoy making it!
