Hey, thanks for making this! I'm building a game in Godot 4, and I ported over the code to auto-generate some backgrounds for it during battles. Is it all right if I use it in the final version of the game? Either way, thanks!

Hello, I used your background as a skybox. Thank you so much!

Thank you from Brasil :)

Hello Brasil!

Perfect Work. I hope you made something for planetary bioms, like wood, plain, mountains, cave, dungeon etc

Thank you! Do you mean like a separate generator for specifically generating biome backgrounds?

(+2)

Yes. For example, a forest biome background generator, a mountain biome background generator, a desert background generator, a lava biome background generator, a hellish biome background generator, a cave biome background generator, a tropical biome background generator, a winter biome background generator, and others.

for example, generation objects can be: trees closer, trees further away, maybe bushes below, if it’s a deep forest then there are no clouds, sky or sun moon. And if there is a small forest, say a flat one, then there is light and the sun or moon


I see. Would be very interesting to make all those, but I think it would be a lot of work also. I feel like with AI getting better and better these days, it could be easier to try some general approach with that than to make a separate generator for every type of background. I'll think about it, thanks for the suggestion!

(+2)

No artificial intelligence can do anything better than a talented person, like you, for example. I admire your work. I hope this will give impetus to your creative breakthrough and encourage and inspire you to a new masterpiece project like this one.❤️

Thank you, I really appreciate that! I definitely have ideas for things other than generators still. Just gonna have to take the time to work on them.

Hello can I use this background in a game I am going to sell without giving credit? Please reply as I really want to use it, it's amazing :)

Hey, glad you like it. Credit is appreciated, but if you really don't want to give it, it's not required.

I love this! Used it for my first game

Oh nice! Grats on making a game, well done!

Very Nice!

Thanks!

Hi Deep-Fold. Firstly, thank you so much for making this free to use. This is so awesome!

Is the source code compatible with Godot 4? If not, are you planning on updating this?

Hey. You're welcome, glad you enjoy it! I don't think it's compatible with Godot 4 yet, I'm still gonna have to look into that sometime. But you could just try and see if it works I guess. Maybe the godot 4 auto converter can make it work.

(+1)

i love this soo much. been regenerating them for fun

Nice, glad you enjoy using it.

(+1)

I can’t change the size

What's going wrong? After you change the size you need to generate a new image for it to have an effect.

(+1)

thx

(+1)

this is so cool! also a question, how do i export the image? the export button doesnt bring up any window, im on windows

Thank you! It should just immediately export an image when you click export.
If you're using it in your browser the exports go to your downloads. If you're using the windows tool they should show up in the same folder as the program.

(+1)

thanks for the insight! this is one outstanding program

this is so god damn cool like damn

thanks! glad you enjoy.

What an amazing generator! Thanks to you, I was able to make my first Android game! You can see the attribution on the main menu screen: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.LukUpGames.StarshieldSentinel

Wow, well done! Congrats on releasing a game, hope you enjoyed making it! And thx for the credit.

(+1)

Can you explain how to use `--script` option? I'd like to use kinda like a cli to auto-generate images on the fly! Also, great project, loved it! Thanks!

Glad you like it! I'm not really sure what you mean by the --script option?

(+1)

Well, when trying to use as CLI, i did `./executable --help` and this was one of the options. That's why I thought you could use for it.

Ah interesting. I think that might be something auto generated by godot? Unfortunately I don't think I ever implemented a cli version for this.

(+1)

This is so cool and useful!!! Thank you very much!!

You're welcome, glad you like it!

It was just what I needed for my game and it's such a cool idea. Thank you so much!

Thanks for the sick wallpaper man!

You're welcome! Glad you like it.

This is adorable, thank you so much!

Thanks! Glad you like it!

(+1)

I genuinely love that you made this with Godot. Great job! So cool to see it in GH and how you did the work. 

Thank you, hope the source is useful to you!

(+1)

This is laterally perfect for one of my projects! Thanks so much! What a great tool for being free. Big thanks for the author! One of the down sides of the new AI tools out there is that searching for the phrase 'image generator' will no longer show this tool in search results. I had to exclude the term "AI" from my search before I found this. I'm glad I kept looking. And 8 bit space background is hard to make by hand.

Great, glad you like it! Would love to see the game if you decide to use this.
Yeah sad that AI results are kind of flooding everything but at least you can filter em out.

(+1)

This is an excellent tool. Thanks. Quick question. I wanted to make shader like this for Unity so I have can real time procedurally generates backgrounds. Do you have any tips or thoughts behind creating something like this? That would be very helpful 

(1 edit) (+1)

Thank you! I don't have any tips specifically for Unity, but the shader code should be pretty portable. These shaders are glsl, Unity uses hlsl, there are a lot of resources online saying how to convert between these. So if you convert to hlsl it should all work fine.

(+1)

a very cool BG thanks

Glad you like it!

Greetings Deep-Fold and thank you for the excellent tool. I found it so useful I wrote a complimentary program called SpacePort that automates file management for exported images. I hope it is a fitting tribute to your work and others will benefit from my contribution.

(1 edit) (+1)

Oh, that looks very useful! I didn't really think it through too much when I just named every image "Space Background.png" haha.
Thanks for sharing and I hope it's useful to others as well!

(+1)

Hi! How might I have it set up for it generating a different background each time the player spawns in? Also, do you have any youtube tutorials on the lagistics of this generator? tysm!

Well that depends on your own implementation of it. You could just have a bunch of different backgrounds and choose one randomly when the player spawns. No tutorials or anything like that unfortunately, but it should be pretty straightforward, just set the options how you want them and export.

Hey Pixel Picasso! 🌌🎨 Just wanted to drop a galactic-sized thank you for your space-tastic background generator. My game’s visuals are now soaring through the cosmos, all thanks to your pixel wizardry! Your name’s not just in the credits; it’s etched into the pixels of the universe. Keep on crafting those cosmic canvases! 🚀🖌️ #PixelPerfection #BackgroundBard

Hey, thank you very much for the message haha! Glad you enjoy the generator. Thanks for the credit and good luck on your game!

(+1)

thanks for background in my profile

Glad you like it!

(+1)

thanks!

You're welcome!

(+1)

Hi. Thank you for this. I will use it for a Game Jam, and helps a lot to be faster, you will be in the credits.

Glad you enjoy! Good luck in the game jam!

(+1)

Where do the exported images export to??

On Windows and Linux, it should be in the same folder the program is. On MacOS under "~/Library/ApplicationSupport/Godot/

(+1)

Yea sorry, I figured it out, i should have told you sooner

(+1)

This is insane!! Awesome work! I'm making backgrounds for my desktop and this is just what I needed!

Great, glad it's of use to you!

This is fantastic. I may end up using this in my project, but I'm not sure yet. You will definitely get credit if I do. I only learned about your tools because a game I recently checked out ("Astrobrawl") credited you for this and your planet generator (which also may end up being useful for me).

Thank you for your hard work, and for making this freely available.

(+1)

Ah, I just decided to buy it and throw it in. My artist friend may do backgrounds of his own in the future, but these are significantly better placeholders than the ones I've been using. And if it works out that way, I'll just keep them in. They look great. <3

Thank you, much appreciated! Nice to hear of the credit, and that you found the tools through that. would love to see your game once it's done. Thanks!

(+1)

BRO, I love you work

Thanks!  Happy you like my stuff!

Hi!

i used this to background image in my game

and also used pixel-planet for player sprite

Thanks for your work!

Hi. Congrats on making a game, awesome job! Thanks for sharing!

You can set proper metadata by following the next steps: "Edit game -> Metadata -> Release info -> License for code". Also you can add the link to the source code: "Edit game -> Metadata -> External links"

Thank you, didn't even know that existed lol.

You can leave a comment here to support my proposal about making metadata more visible for those who are interested in it https://itch.io/t/2919128/metadata-encouragement#post-7952450

Hello! I wanted to ask just in case if we can use this generator for assets in commercial game projects? Not nft of course haha. This would be really useful for making tiling parallax backgrounds for maps in my rpg. 

(+2)

Yes, feel free to use this in your commercial projects. Hope this works well for your backgrounds!

(+1)

I think planets and stars can be made dynamic

Not sure what you mean? The planets should be random each time. As for the stars I drew some sprites by hand, I think the amount of variation in them is good the way it is currently.

For example, you can add some twinkling stars and allow the user to export a sequence of frames

Ah I see. I think the filesize would be way to big for some of the backgrounds though if you tried to export those as animations. I think a better solution would be to manually add some particles using whatever engine you're using.

(+2)

How do you export the image?

Click the "export" button.
