Star Zeal is a work in progress 4x space strategy game with a focus on a more personal take with your civilization and its characters. A mixture between a procedural, open ended RPG and a space civilization builder. It has a massive Milky Way galaxy with thousands of procedural stars and many unique species to choose to play as. Full real time 3D battles, 3d colonies and a rpg style character/hero system. You go on an adventure with your civilization.
Return mostly 3d planet surfaces, and some other related progress.

I had to change back to the mostly 3d surfaces. Turns out the 2d method takes much longer, and I just couldn't get it to fit the rest of the game. 3d is also better for the procedural generation. This way also allows for some fancier effects and traffic etc on planets which i will add a bit later on.
I am also finalizing the planetary UI. Don't mind some of the empty space, its mean't for some of the functions yet to be completed.
The minerals and stored window can be minimized now from the main planet window. So you don't end up having to squint or be slapped in the face with a spread sheet every time you click on a planet... unless you want to :).
NB: Even ships can be stored on planets.
