Alright, after working on this for almost 5 months, we’ve finally finished the initial version of alpha 0.7. Now, it’s not completely bug free, that’s for sure, so we will be putting out a a0.71 version for sure. In fact, some last minute multiplayer syncing bugs almost kicked this build to next year (we fixed them in the eleventh hour). We actually tried to do a little too much for a0.7, and some of the experiments failed. We tried to do realtime cubemap based ambient lighting. It worked, but the frame rate took a dive to around 15fps even on the HD7970. So it went out the window. We also wanted to write a sound program that runs outside Unity in parallel for all the sounds of the game so you don’t get a hiccup when Unity does garbage collection (Unity’s Mono is really old, so garbage collection takes longer than it should, and doesn’t seem to work all too well anyway). We were waiting to see if Unity will upgrade their Mono with Unity 4.3, they didn’t, and by the time we knew that, there wasn’t enough time to add this feature. So you’ll still get awkward skips in sound and music in this build.
We also had some last minute bugs/issues that knocked out:
AI detection based on visual and sound
Took out 4 followers for now because it’s causing balance issues (making things a little too easy)
Cannot trade items in multiplayer yet (first thing we’re working on for a0.71)
Took out 64bit client because there’s a collision issue with Unity that’s causing random crashes
Monster beacon in multiplayer, it broke a lot of things
One of the biggest improvements to be added to a0.7 is that now players can use their CPU to render voxels if they choose to, this opens up the game for players with integrated cards.

The precise time will be announced after we examine where we sit after a0.71 comes out. It’s been a hectic month for us, we’ll sit back and relax a few days before getting back to work on a0.71. Hope you enjoy! And be sure to report all bugs to our board at http://board.pathea.net.
For people wanting to host servers for multiplayer, please read up on port forwarding in this thread, there have been a slight addition for a0.7 settings: http://board.pathea.net/index.php?topic=2264.0
For Mac users using Mavericks, for some reason, the new Apple opencl driver 1.2 is actually causing problems for the game. You’ll need to switch to CPU opencl for now until we figure out the problem. For everyone else on Mac, opencl graphics cards should still work fine.
Now I just have to header home in a few days to download and play this. I am uber exited Thanks a ton guys!!!!
Anyone know what is the animalIK setting for?
Without IK, the fps will be faster, but animals’ feet will not stick to the ground. With IK, the feet will conform to the ground and look more natural, but probably a 3-10 fps dip, depending on your setup.
where did you guys hide the iso converter?
Yeah, we forgot to post it, along with the saves…will have to do that on Monday, we’re all out of the office. >.<
Have a nice cold beer you guys did awesome!
Well, I’ve tinkered a bit now and I am very happy with the progress! The jetpack and glider are great! Boost high up with the jetpack then switch to glider and glide around, works very well. Found NPC’s in MP Adventure mode and got a mission from them. Will post back when I’ve had some more time with it, but so far it’s turning into one hell of a game!
Thank you for my gift.
Dont work key(((
I downloaded the PE for Mac but still once I have unwraped the files and launch the application game it says:
This application comes from internet – and won’t open.
Any solution?
You need to change your “Allow applications downloaded from” Gatekeeper setting to “Anywhere”
Yo can find it under
Apple menu > System Preferences… > Security & Privacy > General tab
Youwill also rant to run Play_Planet_Explorers, not Game, as I’m pretty sure you can’t run that directly
Can not equip any resource blocks.
Press B.
Merci
Anyone Found any gold yet? still cant scan for it 🙁 i have seached the place where it was in the older patch but no luck
Hello, I’m a YouTuber Italian I was wondering if you could give me a key for the game so I make a video and I review the game

Merry Christmas!
No, go buy it cheap skate 😛
Wicked awesome. Been super excited waiting for this to drop and it was worth the wait. Looks amazing! I can see grass for miles and miles (well 1km :D). Happy Holidays to all of you at Pathea. Keep up the excellent work.
Salut,
Y a pas de mot à part merci papa noel et à toutes l’equipe.
Quel plaisir de jouer à ce jeu et avec tous ces nouveaux ajouts on est forcement heureux.
De bonne fêtes à toute l’equipe et continuez votre bon travail 😉 encore merci.
Un fan de chez fan^^
Thanks for this awesome christmas gift ! Can we expect a 64bit build when the unity collision bug will be fixed ? But for now you really deserve to rest, nice work !
Whenever they fix it, we’ll have 64bit. 🙂
So many alpha patches out this month, between that and other games doing events I just have enough time in the day now lol
my dumbass cannot find my activation key I used for when I bought it. How do I activate the game since I just downloaded 7.0a
It should carry over…or you can use http://74.81.173.197/~ppu/activation/public/resend_keys.html
ehhh how do you transfer over your save game from the last version?? thanks
i dont think one can in the build that they have atm. but they said that were going to make a save file that starts where the old 0.62 ends.
ok thanks i hope they do iv a big homebase craved into a mountain with helipads a a few helicopters in dem. it would not be nice if i lost it 🙁
So I was browsing though kickstarter, searching through projects in my State (Cookeville, TN here), found this, bought it, and wow. I honestly can’t believe that I found a game so good by searching in such an obscure fashion. You guys really need more attention. Out of all the indie games I am supporting right now, with all honesty, this one has the most potential. I’m still tinkering with making vehicles/weapons and things, but that’s part of the fun for me.
Seriously, keep it going. I really want to see this one make it.
hi games looking really good…
but when in the forest i’m having major lag to the point where it’s unplayable!
Also at the martian camp you get the blaster scrip, but you can’t make it with out the fuel scrip and i looked every where ..
Any one els having this problem?
Building in the landscape is like MineCraft now, I liked it better before where you could drag diagonal and it melted together not these Blocks. And Digging isn’t as smooth anymore.
Oh yeah Fast travel is dumb now and freezes every time, why would you change that?
We are changing it back to the old format in a0.71.
The terrain direct modifying is going back in pretty soon, we can’t put everything together right away you know, manpower vs priorities. 😛
I do realize i complain a lot. I just really like the game and appreciate you allowing us to add our thoughts. I know your working hard. Thanks.
Hello I play your game and it’s very cool. version 0.7 but I have no animals shuttles tents. only people trees and grass, and all I have windows 7 64x and still nothing. Sorry. I forgot to put the point
Does it still do this when you start a new game?
I have some really complex buildings i have spent Weeks on. They have power generators, gas lines, power cells, a industrial looking Cracking system and reactors. Will we be able to build the buildings again like we used to? I don’t like how it has been changed if this is suppose to replace what we had….
