Planet Explorers Alpha v0.2 Released
Hey everyone, since the release of Planet Explorers Alpha v0.1, we've been getting some great feedback from many players. We're very thankful for all the helpful comments and encouragements. Now, we're ready to release Av0.2. The file is available in the download section at IndieDB. Or you can use this torrent (please help seed). Below is the change list for Av0.2:
- remade the character customization area with fully working character customization (except for hair and face types)
- added in the male character with 4 changes of costume
- added in a few more cave systems and a small island full of gold
- added in a world map (press m or press the small guidance map)
- added in fire bears, needlenoses, and flathead sharks
- added in collision for trees, trees will give different amount of wood depending on size
- added in lots of sound effects
- optimized saving so it saved everything and allowed players to save and load, including the turrets
- added in hp regeneration when health is low
- added in tool tips everywhere- added in a key to close all windows (esc)
- fixed lots of bugs from Av0.1
- offline mode
- cannons now can be placed in 4 directions, click the right mouse key to rotate when putting them down. Arrow turrets can shoot 360 degrees while the other cannons cannot
Some of the things originally slated for v0.2 got pushed back to v0.3, not because of lack of progress, more due to the probable inclusion of terrain LOD in v0.3, which will have significant impact on several aspects of the game.
Let me expand on Av0.3 for a bit. First, it'll be a while before it comes out (the earliest we're aiming for is August 24th). We're hoping to include a lot of very cool things in this build, including but not limited to 1.3km view distance, new AI system, parts of the creation system, coop online multiplayer, ragdoll, entire redo of the adventure map, water physics (swimming), forest area, new NPCs, new story missions, new items, and new enemies.
So, please try out Av0.2, give us feedback here on the forums and look forward to Av0.3!

good thesis statement
i take it back, now it works <3
I just want to say that.... THIS GAME IS AWESOME! It's a verry genious concept! I ever wanted to explore a Alien Planet, it's so exciting! Please keep up your awesome work it will be a big hit!!
ps: sorry for my bad english :)
The torrent is down currently, no seeds seem to be availible, i would happily seed if i could get my hands on a copy, considering MOD DB is still trying to verify
IndieBD has verification finished
I'm not sure if it's just my download or my computer, but.... the game does not work. It will start up, let me start a new game and make a character, but after the intro is done all I get is a view of the sky with what looks like a cloud. The character portrait shows up with three bars (green, red, blue), I can click on that to bring up the character info but not close the window afterwards, and the item bar on the bottom of the screen seems to function correctly (all I have is the fist, but I can select the empty spaces via the number keys or clicking).
The only keys that seem to do anything are the numbers and esc lets me skip the intro, but other than that, nothing works.
I'm experiencing the exact same Problem.
Hardware used:
Core i7 960
24GB Ram
2x 4870x2 Crossfire
Asus P6T SE Mainboard
Win7 x64
Exact the same here
Still having the same hovering issue with a HD4870, only difference being that i can now walk around.

Yeah, we weren't able to correctly fix the problem for the HD4000 series for this build, but we know what the problem is now and will try to fix it within the next 2 weeks. Basically, the HD4000 series can partially use opencl, but some of the data needs special treatment. So we'll have to write some translator for the series.
I see. Thanks!
a female main char be nice who the char on the main page?0.0
btw i ran into a save while mining bug that made the game not work when loaded it just camed some were and i dont see my char nor am i able to move
Can you post the game log for the mining bug? The female character will be back in in V0.3.

Wait 'til Av0.3.

Thank you

I admire your work. Keep up the good work. I really hope that the project will not die, and in due time will be strong enough to compete with existing high-level sandboxes.
Keep it up! :-)
At the moment, very sorry for that little forest.
You are going to add various types of ore?
The settlements with the NPC?
Continents, among which you can swim in a kind of transport?
We have the budget to see this game through. :) And at worst, we'll just do crowd funding, I'm sure a lot of people will be interested to fund this game.
And yes to everything else you asked.
Help in version 0.2 choose a girl?????
The girl is not available in Av0.2. She'll be back in in 0.3.
Save / load don't work. When I've loaded the game, there was no ship, no towers that i built, no NPC character (I mean that woman who give quests) and no land animals. After I've restarted the game and loaded it again, the ship and the animals appeared again, but towers and NPC didn't restored. (Actually, I used "continue" option, so the autosave was loaded).
The game is too slow paced. Chopping wood and killing animals becomes boring too fast. The world is big and the character is slow )) However, this game have the great potential. I like it's idea and graphic. Thank you for developing this project.
P.S. I had no problems with launching the game, and also there was no lags (I played with "fantastic" graphic quality). Win XP x32.
Great game. Downloaded it today and it is working and already lots of fun.
Still i saw some problems.
1. Targeting
Can not see what the target is. (First quests are asking to kill a animal whit a nice name)
2. Tracking quest
If i kill one animal what is ask it would be nice that there is a counter that say someting like 1 killed of 5.
3. Digging
If i dig down and try to make a cave, the shadows (tiles sites) are a little messed up. Its difficult to see what your doing. Also if i turn around, i look under the land and see water.
4. Trees
Sometime you must stand a little beside the tree to cut it down. Also i turn 45 degree sometimes when i use the axe to cut down the tree.
I know its beta and i like very much what you have set up.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks for making Share

I do the character customization and the game loads up. I can equip and un-equip weapons, I can do free look, I can move the camera all around and everything, but I cannot move. I've tried primary and secondary buttons for movement and the character just will not move. Also if I look around my character isn't actually standing on anything but air. Any ideas on how to fix? I'd really appreciate it. Thank you! :Dnevaresfinearts
