planet explore is a pc exclusive game thats part spore and part minecraft.

players build a outpost an explore the randomly selected (but pre-generated) world their given. players goals are simply. map and explore your world while expanding the outpost. creatures range in size, nature and styles. there are creatures that are naturally tame but just happen to be so big that running into your mudhut for example, and leveling it is an inevitability such as this big thing:

I had a similar idea for a game, unfortunately I lack the artisitic skills to pull it off and none of my programming buddies had any artistic skills either.

The premise sounds amazing though. Exploring a truly alien world with randonly generated terrian and creatures. That's the kind of thing I would spend my childhood imagining.

yea is got a long way to go. i rememebr alpha testing a reckless disregard for gravity. day 1 you could only play lvl 1. level two would stall out and then the game would crash

You're saying consoles shouldn't even be part of SW anymore?

Im going to try this! I need a change from all the call of duty games and CoD clones this gen is full of. I always thought originality makes a better game.

Because they are not shallow idiots that only value high production rehashed games that pretty much make up 99% of the console market?

Offensive enough to make it onto basic cable show like Tosh.0

Tho, I did read on MSN that the person did survive back when this hit the net(pun intended).

However, had you said that it's too f'ing big, I'd totally agree and curse gamespot for not accepting my edits, so meet the rainbow!

Planet Explorers got Alpha 0.4 released a few days back at http://www.indiedb.com/games/planet-explorers, free to play. Tried it and it's really fantastic with great potentials. Way better than previous versions. In my opinion it's also way better than Starforge at this development stage, especially in terms of artistic work. Well, let's see what will come out with both games. Starforge got some funding from Indigogo now and they may be able to polish their game a bit.

You won't be disappointed. I have followed it since their first alpha. Make sure your video card supports DX11 though.

Bah. I thought the game was finally done, instead of just a 4 month thread bump for another alpha, and I'm too backlogged to feel like testing.:(

Is there any info out about a proper release date? It definitely looks like something I'd want to play eventually.

The Planet Explorers is still an Alpha and may have quite some time to go to reach final release. But if they do get it through, I believe it will be one of the hottest PC games.
