This can be achieved by a high amount of content generated by procedural generation. Space themed games in particular usually lack game worlds with visual and gameplay diversity. This work focuses on the generation of diverse planets as game worlds for an interplanetary building strategy PC game. Therefore, a generator was developed within the Unity game engine to generate pseudo random planet models. Classic and modern approaches to procedural content generation were evaluated and compared in order to assess their suitability for the implementation of the generator. The generated models utilize a data structure that allows for changes in the model based on player interaction. The resulting planets differ in size, biomes and surface structure. The planet's basic sphere geometry is derived from a subdivided icosphere. Using a voronoi diagram, its surface is divided into regions representing biomes, continents and oceans. A basic simulation of continental plates is used to determine mountain and canyon locations. These are formed by nested noise functions and domain warping creating a height field. The planet surface consists of multiple material layers represented by data.}, language = {de} }
