We’ve released the latest build of Planet Explorers on Steam. This version has the animal riding as well as some extra missions. This one took a lot longer than we planned as we decided to add in several new animals (in the end, only one made it in, it’s on one of the islands) and the animations took a while. We’ll add the rest of them in the next build. Changelist Added trading card system on Steam Added animal riding system in game (through Chen in story) Added three more missions Added a new monster boss Added being able to select all scripts at world create in Adventure Fixed the resource diplomacy mission not being able to repeat Fixed bug in music player Fixed items in inventory not being able to reorganize Fixed players not being able to exchange items in multiplayer Fixed bug in store page Fixed bug in replicator Fixed durability display error in Enhance machine and repair machine Fixed UI bug in create mode under 2560 x 1440 Fixed multiple colony icon on map in multiplayer Fixed the displaying error in storage box in multiplayer Fixed several crash bugs Optimized Chen’s background music.

Game Modes
Planet Explorers will feature single and multiplayer modes.
In single player there are 3 distinct selections
- Story Mode – Story mode is the main meat and bones of the game, it is the action-adventure-rpg-somewhat-4X segment, offering npcs, missions, colony building, farming, ranching, training, diplomacy, and of course, a storyline that you can follow or ignore. This story features a 17X8km world map with many unique character, landscapes, biomes, locations, and over 100 types of potential enemies. Even though we’ve made it seem like a very action oriented game in the trailers, in reality, players can choose to not fight so much as to just plant a farm, make some food, keep the colonists alive, negotiate with the sentient aliens, and defend the perimeter from the local life forms. That can still eventually arrive at the ending. And yes, there is an ending. Story mode also features coop with other players.
- Adventure Mode – This mode is based on a procedural map generated from a seed. Currently, it comes in a 40X40 kilometer map. Players will be able to complete random missions, defeat bosses, and explore different landscapes in the mode and eventually be able to setup conditions that they want to play (such as tower defense or attack an alien camp). This mode will also feature survival gameplay. The randomization in this mode will eventually pull in player made objects and locations so that a world will always feature something new and unique.
- Build Mode – In this mode, there are no enemies and an infinite amount of building material. It also currently comes in a 40X40km map. Players will be able to build whatever they want in this mode, including everything in the Creations Editor. Think of this as the perfect testing ground to test everything you build. Or…it’s your place to build your garden without ever worrying about the pesky aliens.
Multiplayer allows Local Area Network and player hosted servers. It features several modes but some are still on the drawing board or going through technical trials so the final result is still in flux. Players playing multiplayer should be able to bring at least one of their created objects into multiplayer games, be it a sword, gun, or vehicle.
- Coop – Coop comes in many selections, such as adventure mode, tower defense mode, build mode, etc. This is pretty much an open world sandbox with a max of 32 players (this number still needs to be stress tested).
- Versus – This mode allows teams of up to 16 players to battle against 16 players from another team. We allow full terrain manipulation in this mode. Currently, it's a point based system where one team wins if they reach a certain point level based on kills, built objects, resources mined, etc.
