After the first playtest, one of the main pieces of feedback was: "We need an interactive planet!" So here it is - a big ASCII sphere where you can fight, trade, get quests, heal up, and more. It unlocks gradually as you complete combat zones.

As always, everything is built from standard keyboard symbols. No scaling, no rotation - almost like a text mode. The image is drawn symbol by symbol - I literally write the character, color, and coordinates for every single one.

…And of course, I couldn’t resist adding lighting effects. There are two light sources and real-time shadows - no polygons here, just math and characters. Took some effort!
