Hello Nomads,
Let's break the silence with a bank. We've updated the developer branch of Planet Nomads to Unity 5.4.2 and its new camera (post-processing) effects are a treat for the eye.
Kubat has fallen in love with the possibilities it provides, he had used everything he could - from the new antialiasing to depth of field, motion blur and eye adaption, improved ambient occlusion, color grading and bloom. Then sensitively toyed with the settings to have a more J.J. Abrams feel rather than Michael Bay. Here's what happened...

These screenshots are taken directly from the developer branch of Planet Nomads. No photoshop, filters, flashy marketing tricks, this is what you'll see in the game (frankly, we hope it'll be better) and boys and girls does it look stunning in motion.
Developer branch vs Alpha Branch
Which brings us to the question “When will Alpha Nomads be able to play this version?” It won’t be this year. The developer branch is currently unplayable; player controls, world generation, the interface, building, physics, everything is still under detailed scrutiny and rework. The Alpha Nomads are constantly on our mind and we are working to put the dev branch together and release to Alpha Nomads early next year, long before the public release of Planet Nomads on Steam Early Access. There is an update coming on 1st December though! It will include the big blocks we uploaded on Planet Nomads Trello some time ago. Walls, wall corners, new flooring, ceiling, stairs and more.

Planet Nomads provides a unique experience by combining building, survival and exploration together and making them equally important.
Building
Building is the cornerstone of Planet Nomads. What you build determines your chances of survival and increases your action radius and potential to uncover more materials. Your options include over a hundred building blocks to choose from and use to create nearly anything your imagination can come up with. Paired with working physics for land-based vehicles and fliers.
Exploration
You may have explored your immediate surrounding, but a few hundred kilometers away or a thousand meters higher, things could be radically different. Unlocking advanced technology allows you to explore the more hazardous places where you wouldn't survive before. The planets are up to 120 kms in diameter, with biomes changing as you travel from pole to pole.
Survival
Living the nomadic life is always full of danger and adventure. But mostly danger. Surviving on an inhabited planet is no easy task, but with careful planning, caution and a healthy amount of curiosity, you can do it. As long as you overcome radiation and poisonous atmosphere, avoid being slashed to pieces, frozen to death, eaten alive, starved and generally ended, that is.
Planet Nomads has been successfully Kickstarted and is being developed together with our community of Nomads.
