Shhh Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Hi!I'm making a sci-fi genre game, privately, and I need something to make a map with. Excel won't work as I would need lots of sheets, making it difficult to navigate.I was thinking if someone knows a "Universe maker" so you can make galaxies and inside them, the solar systems and inside them the planets and stuff.Also, if you have any idea for making this, using Excel, without disorganization, i would like to hear it.Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
