It is the year 2287, one of the first colony ships sent out by Earth arrives at the planet Maria, in the Epsilon Indi Star System. During its landing sequence, something appears in front of the massive ship that causes it to lose control and crash into the planet. Some of the colonists survive in lifeboats, but what they find is an unforgiving land filled with creatures ready to outlast the visitors from Earth. Now the survivors must explore, gather, build, create, fight, and ultimately, conquer the land.

1 comment by zede05 on May 22nd, 2013

We wanted to release alpha 0.55m last week, but we ran into several major bugs. But whatever, here it is:

Download from IndieDB: Indiedb.com
Download from torrent: Pathea.net

Now, this build is multiplayer only! It still has some minor bugs, and it's not very optimized, so there will be lag sometimes. You can, however, get an idea of what multiplayer will be like. In this build, you can already build, dig, host, have tower defense with the monster beacon, and place down turrets. The terrain is now infinite as well. 

To host a server, you must have the private server unchecked (unless you want to host LAN). The game will still show up in the main internet lobby even if you're hosting LAN (it's a bug), so some of the games on the lobby won't let you log in.

Here's a vid of the build:


Support Planet Explorers in the Kickstarter Extension, only 3 days left!

Alpha 0.6 will be arriving in a couple weeks. Work on it has been proceeding somewhat smoothly, there just way too much we want to add in, heh.

i'd like to give this game a try but i'm finding it excedingly difficult to get used to the controls. it's not by any fault of the developers mind you, just my own preference drilled in by playing other games in first person for years. i simply must have an "invert y axis in first person view" option and i cannot find it anywhere in a0.53, third person is just so different from everything else it feels unintuitive, i want to try to make my way around in first person as much as i can but when i do i feel like some sort of defective simpleton that cant look down when i want to without having to stop and think about how i'm moving the mouse thanks to inverted y being ingrained into my muscle memory. anyway, a finished product should have this option anyway, if it's not too much trouble please include this in next version.

tl;dr "invert y axis in first person view" option plz

Hi there. I got a few questions/suggestions, and for some reason the forums won't work for me...

Suggestion 00: When the people stand still, they look very rigid and unnatural. So many things in the game look so natural and right, so I figure the people should too. But maybe instead of a simple fixed posture, you could have in the character design their 'idle posture' or whatever. That could be neat.

Question 00: Are you still aiming to make this mac-friendly some time?
Question 01: How much will the game cost? Will there be a demo?

@Tactless44 We're still discussing how to do that.

Apr 25 2013, 10:54pm

@ChessboardMan You can.

Apr 25 2013, 10:53pm

@darker70 I think in the end, the playable alpha really helped, every game related KS should do that.

So where do we go from here after getting on Steam: T.co
