Planet Nomads is an upcoming Science fiction Sandbox video game developed Craneballs Studio.

Development

Craneballs began working on Planet Nomads in January 2015.[1] It is the first desktop video game developed by the studio who's previous games were all released for mobile devices. The developers decided to fund the game through Kickstarter, however while in the campaign video they say that they can fund the game via their mobile games, the Kickstarter funds would allow for more time to be invested in the development. Preparation began in Summer 2015 and the campaign was launched on 21st of January 2016.[2] The kickstarter campaign goal is 70,000 Pounds.[3] As of the 25th of January, the game has already surpassed 30,000 Pounds.

Gameplay

The player is an astronaut who crash-lands on an extraterrestrial planet. The player is then tasked with surviving with his equipment and skill. He can create new equipment, vehicles, build shelters, etc... The developers say the game was inspired by games such as Minecraft, Space Engineers and No Man's Sky.[4] The game is mainly about exploration of the surface of the planet. There are multiple biomes that player can come across to. The main threats to the players survival are alien wildlife living on the planet, extreme weather or radiation. The planet itself is procedurally generated and the landscape is voxel-based.[5][6]
