Find a Sulphuric Vapor Planet and take screenshots
This iconic photo taken of the surface of Venus has always inspired me. Sure, it's a lifeless, uninhabitable world of sulphuric acid and extreme heat, but it's a world!
So Star Explorers has some similar worlds, but lately I've realized they are extremely rare due to factors I had not really considered when programming the game.
The boiling point of sulphuric acid is quite high at 610.1 Kelvin. So for these sulphuric vapor worlds to exist they have to be very close to a pretty hot star. Most sulphuric worlds will be a bit further out and either be liquid or frozen. But I know they exist because someone took this screenshot...
The only problem with this screenshot is that is has some kind of RTX shader thing happening which creates a reflective surface. This shader does not exist in the game itself, but is an overlay from a program called reshade.
I would love to see some screenshots of these rare, Venus like worlds without this reshade effect.
The reward is the journey! But really, I will give a free beta key to the first person who posts a screenshot of a Venus like, sulphuric vapor world (with no plants or trees or other life features preferably). Empty and rocky would be great!
The beta key will be for my new, upcoming game called Cyclopean. It's an old-school dungeon crawler set in the Dreamlands of H.P. Lovecraft.
