Fully explorable Earth size game map in three-dimensional

[DarkMatterMU (MasUniverse)]

Project - Infinity Planets

[Introduction]
Infinity Planets is a project featuring completely explorable planet-or-greater size in 3D inside Roblox, with artificial/smart optimisations to make the future of full 3D planet size map games inside Roblox practical and feasible.

[Current Project Stage] PreAlpha v0.0.01
Game Link - [M] Infinity Planets - Hub - Roblox

^ You can explore a massive Planet freely in 3D, with your friends online.

^ Unlike Minecraft “Earth” map, InfinityPlanets uses grav-Globe which lets you to walk around the entire planet in 3D properly. For example, walking all the way to NorthPole and keep walking, you will walk downward to other side of the planet, then toward South Pole.

[Upcoming Game Project]
Farmlands Planet [July 2025], I will be making a farming game where players can own a plot of land in the planet which is saved physically into the Planet. The farms will be discoverable by other players even if they aren’t in the same sever as the farm-owner, or the farm-owner is offline.
Let’s say a player’s farm is 512x512 studs (equal to 7 acres of lands in our real life world), it will need 5’080’695’841 (5.08 billions) players farms to just cover 29% of Earth’s surface area.

[Future Features/Plans]
Beside just an insanely massive explorable game map, where players can make their own custom planets inside the Hub.
→ This project will also feature Cross-Server technology; which means players can socialise, talk, trade, and see each other buildings even if they are in completely different server.

→ There will be introduction on True User-Generated-Contents inside InfinityPlanets. Unlike Roblox UGCs, the InfinityPlanets will allow players to upload their own models/buildings/guis etc.
[HOWEVER] Due to stockpile of DCMA issues and Roblox will most likely never help me to achieve True-UGC to its full potentials, this project will only allow 1/2 max custom content uploaders inside this project. However, it does mean the game will have contents automatic-update without developers’ intervention, only requiring moderators/administrators of the project to ensure uploading new-custom content is safe.
^ In another word, custom-contents aren’t visible in public/players at all until they have been verified.

[Here is the thread about the original (but now changed) plan about this project]
My development discussion topic - https://devforum.roblox.com/t/future-in-roblox-fully-explorable-planets-create-by-players/3636264

[History of this project] If you are interested about the above Subject
Cross Server can be found in this game - [Demo] Map of Europe - Roblox
Human Characters can be found in this game - [Demo] Metaverse Human Feature - Roblox
^ All above games are from MultiverseStudios, which have projects that were halted but I (as sole developer in that group) have create InfinityPlanets as upgrade to MapOfEurope in MultiverseStudios.

Thank you for everyone who read this article, and if you have any feedback, please feel free to do so.
However, do keep in mind that I am the only one working on this entire project, so there are quite lots of things aren’t even game-quality-completed.

You will see an option to upload your own custom planet via JSON data, this is only advised for Pros but the game allow you to upload and play in your own planet as you like.

Here is the old tutorial video regarding to upload your own custom planet via JSON - Youtube Tutorial [Outdated but Pros may get it] [Note] I will try to make new tutorial video, but I am busy on making Farming Game now

This is the File used to produce JSON data for Earth v1
[E] Client Export File - Earth (512x256).rbxl (62.9 KB)

^ Above are the images used for Earth v1, HeightMap, BiomeMap, ImageMap.

→ I will make a new JSON data upload tutorial, but it may be in July.
→ It took me 1 month to do bugfixing and lots of other stuffs to get from a buggy grassland only planet, into current game.
→ There is data file size limit on your JSON data to be upload into the game, there is data-compression but it compress 50% only currently.

[New Update] Foliage - Only on Earth v1 Template

GIF link - [Rbx DevForum keep saying upload failed]
https://gyazo.com/21abffb2c1065a195c4264f0f18f0d4c

New Foliage/Trees generator have been added into InfinityPlanets.
Unlike random-generators, the foliage/trees sync across all servers onto the Planet’s Map.

[Projects Update] As in day of post

• Farmtopia - InfinityPlanet filled with plots of farmlands for players to build on, with buildings and players visible across all servers within the game.
• Process - 15%

[DarkMatterMU (MasUniverse)]

[Update] 09/06/2025 - InfinityPlanets

• Procedural Terrains. AI-Generator have been refined with vastly more realistic terrains onto the map,
  
  
  
  
  
  
  ^ Picture is taken on an island, on Farmtopia Planet. The Planet have 4 quite/real massive continents.

Feature is still on experimental stage, if you wish to test it simply add in below example code to “TerrainVariables” ModuleScript in ClientExportFile.

return {
	{
		Type = "FractalNoise", Value = 1024,
		Octaves = 4, Lacunarity = 3, Persistence = 0.35, NoiseScale = 128, SmoothFactor = 16,
	},
}

[Next Update Post] Hopefully on the Dates
14/06/2025 → Farmtopia - Buildings
21/06/2025 → Farmtopia - CrossServer Socialisation Techs & PreAlpha Launch/Open

This is really cool! I always love when games find a way to include the entire real-world. Perhaps we could have a Roblox game someday featuring all the major cities of the world as explorable locations. That’d be pretty awesome!

(I’m a Geoguesser enjoyer.)

This is impressive so far, I just have one question. How are you gonna make China and North Korea?

[DarkMatterMU (MasUniverse)]

@eatabler0ck

This is impressive so far

Thank you

@eatabler0ck

How are you gonna make China and North Korea?

It’s not matter of (How), as it is already made → there are no countries officially on the Earth v1 in Infinity Planets Hub. As the AI inside the game uses Earth HeightMap, so all continents even Antarctic is included in the game.

Watch the video (In Youtube link below), if you want to see how you can teleport to place like NorthKorea as asked in your question. You can walk & swim to there from Japan as well, but it will take literal days

Initially 5 years ago, I wanted to make such project with people or even city games to do that, but it would be equal to scoring Powerball Lottery 1st Prize x 1’000 times in a lifetime to get even 1 single attention or fund & team to do so

But I appreciate your reply , and I am currently making kind-of AIs to help buildings/constructions on these Planet sized maps too.
I am currently using it for Farmtopia (different custom planet with same techs & full Earth sized game map). I may use it for vast cities creations too in future, but getting close to Earth cities would be out of question as this is solo-project, such tool is actually quite useful and honestly I would love if Roblox develop their platform into planet-full size games with millions online players who can talk/chat to each other without going into different servers, it is possible as proven on this project but again I’m just more likely winning lotteries than this

[PreAlpha Update] - Buildings Grid AIs are being made, technical details won’t be disclosed but a conceptual draft is made in below as this project’s current direction.

Farmtopia Project - PreAlpha Open will be at mid/end of July
The project will be mainly focus on Farming, but it will includes basic Buildings with goals toward Bloxburg buildings system too for an actual proper RolePlaying element in the game. Concept layout is made in above.
