Author's Notes

I was thinking I needed to put up some kind of visual for what that floating sidebar code in my CSS repository was even for, considering I don't use it anymore. When I looked through my old screenshots I thought I might as well make a little gallery of what Solaris has looked like over the years. I have to say, putting this article together made me all nostalgic. Were you around for the purple days? Did you remember the old floating sidebar?

It's cool to see how Solaris' visuals changed over the years :)

Explore the dark and mysterious Inferncenem, the bright and wonderful Caelumen, the dark but magical Ysteria, the vibrant and bustling Auxul or the world of contrasts Mytharae! Have a good one! WorldEmber 2025 is upon us! Check out my progress!

Genuinely cool to see your progression! I remember when Solaris was a wee little baby world! Look at it now!

Thank you! Yeah, gosh, like when all I had was a few articles about Penumbra and a couple sentences about each planet. Now it's almost three years old, time really flies.
