Summary0016213: Entire map visible during generation of new game
DescriptionNot sure how to categorise this, because it might well be entirely intentional - when approaching from space you might well be able to see the whole world, after all!

However, the fact that during generation everything is visible and then later on you just get a lander and a load of fog of war is strange. Most similar games use a loading screen of some kind to cover the time during generation before they know where the player is going to be, I think?

Yeah, we put that in kind of as a whim because it was helpful for debugging and it looks neat. We haven't really done anything about it since, given that it still does look neat and I'm not sure how much it gives away. Probably for the sake of professionalism something else will have to be done, though, yeah.

I had the same thought, but I thought it was pretty cool looking. My last game world creation did center right over an alien base, though, so that can happen.

I like the terrain generation (you've probably caught glimpses of it from orbit), but the various cities should probably remain hidden.
