This Planet Made of Text Symbols Will Remind You of Dwarf Fortress

Wishlist Effulgence if you want more.

Do you miss the original Dwarf Fortress? Then take a look at this cool planet, which is entirely made of text symbols. The project is a part of Effulgence, a game being developed by Andrei Fomin in Unity.

"The entire screen image is drawn symbol by symbol," Fomin explained his planet's creation. "Each symbol's position is calculated in real time. There’s only one texture with symbols and a lot of sprites on the screen. Created a text editor on a sphere to make planets for my game Effulgence."

While you might suddenly understand what it's like to have astigmatism looking at the image (the creator says the glow can be switched off in the game), the idea itself is definitely creative. 

Effulgence offers to explore a mysterious world and make yourself stronger by defeating creatures and breaking them down into particles used for crafting. Fomin promises dozens of locations, a variety of resources, and over a hundred blueprints when the game gets released in March.
