Planet Explorers - What I've Always Wished Minecraft Had Been

This is the game I've been waiting for. Garry's Mod meets Minecraft. They are even hoping to eventually support the ability to build a rocket/space ship to reach and colonize planetary moons. Which, you know, would be absolutely amazing (akin to SpaceBuild in Garry's Mod, the coolest mod ever). I've already kickstarted it, plan on trying it out when I get home tonight. The premise of it is something I've dreamed of for a long time now, glad to see someone is making it a reality.

 

Create your character, design your weapons, build a shelter, build defenses, design your vehicles, and survive!

Kickstarter

 

You can kickstart it here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1757963851/planet-explorers?ref=live

 

You can download the alpha now for free, but I believe only kickstarters get access after 0.6 is released.

Son of a... what are you doing to me, MH6? Garry's Mod swallowed weeks of my life.

 

I hate you.

Swallowed a few months of mine. :lol:

 

SpaceBuild in particular. Creating a spaceship from the ground up, designing life support systems and programming the ship's computers is insanely fun. For me anyway.

Why am I just learning about this? You suck, Sir.

Yep, SpaceBuild destroyed my free time. Terraforming the moon and all that. Awesome stuff.

I still remember the day I built a cloaked Mass Driver on one planet--charged it to an ungodly amount, put a massive payload in it, and shot it at another planet. The cargo, which at this point was essentially a huge fucking projectile of death, lit the planet up in a gigantic fireball and killed everyone on the surface. It was a beautiful thing to behold.

 

 

Anyway, I managed to play PE for a few hours today in between all the damn work I had to do. It's pretty fun, I'm liking it. I designed my own pistol, crafted it, and bought some copper rounds. Them nasty critters roaming around are quite a bit less scary now (except for the big ones, I still give them a wide berth).

 

I *had* built myself a nice little house with some cannon emplacements on the roof to fend off the local wildlife. There was a quest beside my house to fend off a wave of monsters, and I took it. Only thing is, one of said monsters was about as big as my house, and didn't take kindly to my cannons firing at him.

 

I no longer have a house. <_>

I found a trick w/ cannons - build two on top of tall towers and place a little distance between. The big nasty guy will try to attack Tower A, but won't be successful to reach it. Tower B 2nd cannon will be able to get a shot on it. Monster will go back and forth between towers trying to attack but are slowly whittled to death.

Ha, nice. I'll have to try that.

MH6 - what is your signature? Is that a bunny rabbit planting a tree? Is that from your Facebook game addiction? :P

 

Funny. Funny guy.

New enemy animation (I think it looks pretty sweet):

We're actually showcasing the current build at TMODE (some anime/gaming convention in Maryland).

 

And no convention is complete without swag, so here is ours--bags of sunflower seeds (since it's a game about throwing seeds and restoring life to the world). Both cheap to make and pretty cool I think.

Oh, so this is the indie game you have been helping to program? Very cool. Ought to kick off a separate thread to discuss as others may be curious for more details.

 

Yeah I'll move my post so as not to derail the thread too much.
