That was the main feature I had an idea for. I wasn't even sure where to start. I just wanted the player to be able to create their own solar system. There were also moons but they got removed last minute because they were WILD, mind of their own lol. I was going to look back into getting them in.

I thought the little mini game at the begining was also a clever start. I would suggest disabling the ability to paint when the cursor is hovering over buttons.

I would love to paint my own solar system, thank you very much.

Making dust is even more fun, but you can bypass the entire first part of the game by spamming the C button.
