What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access enables us to involve players in the development process from an early stage, allowing us to gather valuable feedback, identify bugs, and understand player preferences and priorities. This input is incredibly valuable as it guides our development decisions, helps us prioritize features, and ensures that we are creating a game that resonates with our audience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The potential of Planetaries is limitless, and we have extensive plans for its future development. Given the scope of our vision and the ambitious features we aim to implement, we anticipate that the Early Access phase could last anywhere from 1 to 2 years.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The finished version of Planetaries is planned to be expansive, offering a diverse array of finished content like weapons, buildables, enemies, mechanics, systems, vehicles, mineables, character progression elements, and overall more progression elements. Our goal is to enrich the game with much more polished and optimized content and features across the board, providing players with a broader range of exploration, challenges, and gameplay experiences.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In the current Early Access version of Planetaries, there is a lot to do, including building, crafting, mining, exploring, character progression, combat, missions, tower defense, flying, trading, and more. Players have a wide range of activities and features to engage with as they navigate the game world and interact with its systems and mechanics. Additionally, all of these experiences are available in a multiplayer setting, allowing players to collaborate with friends or other players as they delve into the game's diverse gameplay elements.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Considering the significant amount of work already invested in the game and our ongoing development plans, there may be adjustments to the game's pricing structure as it progresses from Early Access to the full release. These adjustments would reflect the added content, features, and improvements made during the development journey.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to actively listen to feedback from various sources such as the Steam community page, the game's Discord server, players online, streamers, and other channels. We will carefully consider this feedback as we continue to develop the game.”

About This Game

Planetaries

Prepare to dive into a sci-fi open world survival adventure. Set in a time when humanity has expanded its reach beyond the confines of Earth, immerse yourself in a rich galaxy. Craft, build, mine, trade, explore, and fight your way through a living universe filled with alien life, mysteries, pirates, droids, and much more.

Progression and Mechanics

Explore, gather resources, and complete contracts to earn rewards. Engage in daring raids to secure valuable loot or focus on collecting crucial data to advance your levels and accrue tech points. Use these resources to unlock new technologies and crafting blueprints. Upgrade your gear and equipment to take on increasingly challenging contracts or brave perilous environments on hostile the planet, ensuring your survival and success in your adventures.

Build Your Legacy

Build your base of operations, whether it's a fortified bunker to withstand enemy assaults, an industrial outpost for farming and trade, or a temporary shelter for your adventures. Construct essential facilities like particle accelerators, energy generators, vehicle pads, and more to support your goals and survival in this vast and challenging planet. Each choice shapes your gameplay and strategies, offering diverse opportunities for exploration and success.


Tower Defense and Combat

Construct your Tech Data Beacon and brace yourself to fend off relentless waves of hostile enemies drawn to its signal. Alternatively, you might choose to focus solely on survival by hunting aliens and battling the dangers of the world. If raiding and plundering suit your style, target other outposts for their valuable loot. Or perhaps you’re an intrepid adventurer seeking thrills in perilous caves, taking on hazardous contracts for the ultimate challenge.

Gathering Resources

Utilize your advanced gathering laser to kickstart your resource collection journey, extracting rare matter essential for crafting and construction. Venture into deep mines to extract valuable crystals coveted by traders for their currency value, or hunt alien fauna for their organic matter.


Contracts and Exploration

Explore a variety of outposts to acquire contracts from reputable contractors, then dive into completing these tasks for both rewards and the excitement of facing adventure and danger head on. Or traverse the world, uncover valuable loot, level up your skills, reveal hidden secrets, and stumble upon new outposts and points of interest.
