Interesting world and society - a bit like H.G Wells posthuman Eloi people in his book the Time Machine, where the cosseted, effete classes are fed & clothed by machines and have devolved into childlike beings who have left literacy and science behind

A bit, but I was actually going for a play on the concept of a philosophical zombie. They act like intelligent beings and live in what is technically a civilization, but they aren't sapient beings like a human. They've evolved into animals that live in the niche of civilization, but don't actually contribute to that civilization in any way.

I like how this one has much more giant islands in stead the whole one or two massive continents.

I tend to gravitate towards large continents because they're easier to get good detail on, but with the new technique I'm working on I can get a lot of detail into smaller continents, meaning I can do more reasonably sized continents without sacrificing detail and causing the whole piece to suffer as such. I've done a couple more test planets since then and it seems to work, but I'm still tweaking my methods for optimal results. Now if only I could find a way to get decent looking ice caps...

It wasn't really meant to be scary, it was meant to be an examination of how seemingly good and beneficial decisions could lead to unexpected results.
