Version 1.2 Release Notes

Version 1.2 introduces long-awaited improvements to high-resolution map creation. You can now paint at higher resolutions and export maps up to 128K, making them suitable as base maps for GIS workflows.

Map Rendering & View Options

• Render specific map types, including height maps and biome maps
• Toggle grid overlay
• Enable latitude-based shading

UI & Theme Updates

• New default map theme: Lefebvre 2
• Added a status bar to the GUI
• General layout fixes and overall stability improvements

World & Seed Management

Each planet consists of:

• A base map
• A randomization seed

From the File menu, creating a new world generates both a new generalized map and a new seed. You can also randomize only the seed, allowing subtle variations without changing the overall layout. Lower-resolution maps define large-scale features (e.g., continents), while the procedural system fills in finer, sub-continental details.

We hope you enjoy these updates and find them valuable in your creative work!
