Early Access Nearing, Lava Biome Searing
The way we launched the Alpha of Planet Nomads brought a stable release and we want to use a similar approach with Early Access. This time we'll use the help of Alpha Nomads for intense testing and bug fixing. There will be a feature lock-down towards the expected release of the first Early Access version. We will stop adding features for the time being and focus fully on bug hunting/fixing together with Alpha Nomads. With this approach Planet Nomads will launch as a stable game, hopefully get positive reviews here on Steam and secure its bright future and further development. That's the plan. Alpha Nomads can expect at least one major update before the Early Access launch. It will include the updated visuals and the rest of Planet Nomads - the game. As Trello indicates, the months leading to Early Access are all about creating the gameplay - to be able to have survival mode we need to add all those little things like material mining and processing, lists of items and their recipes, recipes for building blocks, functional blocks such as 3D printers, containers and generators with interfaces, player conditions, deadly threats... The list goes on and on. It will be no small task. Expect to be part of it all. We're going to have Peter in the next episode of Nomadic Journals, and he will talk about the Early Access in more detail, and tell us the whats and whys.
As we see it, the Early Access launch of Planet Nomads will happen in March or beginning of April. The date depends on how well development goes and on other games being released at the time. What's most importantly - you'll know the date long before launch.
Many people on the team couldn't take a rest for the whole Christmas holidays. They kept working on their things. One of these people was Kubat. To get warmed up, he created a lava world. The lava world is the first biome created specifically with the new PBR shader in mind, the one which we introduced last year. So far it has helped Kubat create some pretty impressive stuff.
Nomads have voted for Planet Nomads left and right on IndieDB, and so Planet Nomads, the planetary survival sandbox game become the Best Upcoming Indie of 2016. Ending on a lovely 3rd place, two positions higher than the previous year.

We have both important and hot info for you. It's been quite some time so let's take a look.

Planet Nomads is a sci-fi sandbox game of survival on alien planets through lego-style building. You are a lone scientist crash-landing on a strangely captivating planet where no human has set foot before. Keeping your wit together and securing your basic survival needs, food, water and shelter, is your best start towards figuring out how to build a spaceship capable of interplanetary travels.
The game is coming to Early Access in Q1 2017 and is now in alpha. We are looking for testers. Check Planet Nomads website for more information. http://www.planet-nomads.com/
Planet Nomads provides a unique experience by combining building, survival and exploration together and making them equally important.
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.
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.
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.
