Jetpacks and updates

发表于由

Hey everyone, we’ve been getting a lot of things done over the past few weeks. We’re about ~2 weeks out from a0.7 releasing. The changelist for that is still ever changing, we’re not even sure what will end up in on the build’s release date ourselves, multiple new features are still in fluid situations. Like I mentioned before, between builds, we normally take the game apart and work on the pieces individually, over the last week, we’ve been putting a lot of stuff together again.

Here’s a video of us using the jetpack, you can see the new grass and parts of the new terrain textures, since the placement system is still not completed (terrain layout order and terrain normal/heightmap for grass), the final versions of these will look much better. Also, ignore the ignore the frame rate dips and the weird resolution, we were capturing in Unity with Fraps on a HD5770, not the best of combinations.

Now, below is an image of the planting system. As of a0.7, we won’t be able to get the auto planting and harvesting by npcs in, so it’ll be all manual labor by the player. How it works is, the player will get fertilizer, and spray it around (the dark soil). Then he can place the seeds in and watch them grow. On top of Earth crops like corn, tomatoes, and more, the player can gather seeds from all the collectible plants from around the world and plant these as well.

  1. “Then he can place the seeds in and watch them grow.”

    “He”? Really, Pathea? This is 2013, and females can’t play your games? Sigh…

  2. Nice, Can’t wait. yous should create shock absorbent boots so you don’t take fall damage.

  4. This gake is getting so much better and better, and it was already my dream game back in alpha 0.6 XP
    I can’t wait for the a0.7 and I think it has a massive potential of becoming the next game all the youtube celebs may play ^.^

  5. Would love to see support for touch screen tablets with windows 8.1 and see some gamepad support. the gamepad support currently is not good at all… 🙂

    Oh, and I have stopped playing 0.62 because the crabs at night I flash the light in their face and they keep attacking, so for now I’ve given up!

    Thnx

  7. Planting system – hella cool.

    Jetpack – Eh, I don’t think it’s really needed. Could really mess with game balance unless it is really expensive to run. Current jet pack science (with combustion based systems, no propellers or water based tech) is limited to around 30 seconds use.

  8. love the jetpack great freature and the farming look great cant wait thanks for the update. i cant wait to play the new version. i feel like a little kid wait for his christmas present 😀

  9. Will farming be apart of the multiplayer build as well? I want the many singleplayer aspects like NPC towns/aliens to be apart of the multiplayer so these experiences could be shared with friends. I hope they will be!

  10. Will the MAC client now work ? I’m still stuck, like many others, with the opencl issue. While my graphics card does support opencl Planet Explorers does not run. Can’t wait to play and finally get to see what I paid for 😉 Best of luck.

  12. Playing the story mode in 0.62, I have been given a mission to create fertilizer, but it requires aluminium, which I have yet to find.

    The NPC mission giver says there is some in the mountains to the west, but I believe those mountains are on the other side of the invisible wall near to the Earth camp.

    Is there anywhere else where aluminium is at the surface?

  13. Planet Explorers 0.7 earth camp There is an error where no base man going out of the game and there people do not see the tasks can not
