Hey everyone, Over on Team17.com we've been celebrating the release of our 100th game, sci-fi platformer PLANET ALPHA, by interviewing the developers behind each of our past releases. Last week, we spoke to Team Jolly Roger about the making of Interplanetary: Enhanced Edition. So if you'd like to read a brand new interview and find out how your favourite intergalactic artillery game was made then CLICK HERE. Hungry for more info on Team17 releases, including other sci-fi games like Genesis Alpha One, then why not sign up to our newsletter.

Jolly Friday to you, everyone! We've just put out a patch with a few fixes. See the full changelog below.

Interplanetary: Enhanced Edition Update 1.55.2090 - December 14th, 2018

  • Fixed issues with Discord integration when loading a local match
  • Added a safety fix for weapons that have been modded to have the projectile count of 0 (usually accidentally). Now they always fire at least one shot

In the midst of heavy Worbital development, weve managed to set aside some time for an Interplanetary update, consisting of a few game fixes. The main point of this update is improving the overall performance of the game. Another noticeable new thing, as the title states, is the Discord integration. Now you can invite people to play Interplanetary with you through Discord. See the full changelog:

Just a little patch to bring on the holiday cheer! Nothing massive, but the hero of this update is the much-requested "Repair All"-feature. It's something we've wanted to implement for a long time, but it was always tacked on alongside other similar features that were somewhat costly to develop. But, since Christmas is approaching, we thought what the heck, let's just make a simple, separate version of it for all to enjoy. Hope you'll like it! In other news, we're now going full steam ahead with our new project, Worbital, approaching the first playable version. As for the future Interplanetary updates, we still have some things on our internal wishlist that we'd like to get into the game. With Worbital now taking the bulk of our development time, it's hard to make concrete promises or solid timelines, but whenever we get the chance to pull some resources into Interplanetary updates, we will gladly do so. Not ready to call it quits yet! Keep the feedback coming, we'll do what we can, when we can! Happy Holidays from TJR!

Interplanetary: Enhanced Edition Update 1.54.2030 - December 19th, 2017

• Features
  • Repair All
    • "Repair All" is a small menu that becomes visible when at least one of your buildings has been damaged to a certain point. This menu is a one-click solution to repair all buildings that are below a certain HP threshold.
• Fixes
  • Fixed Power Grid Disconnected Event Log Event not triggering sometimes
  • Adjusted Coilcannon hitmarker to not overlap with the planet so often
  • Text fixes

A few weeks back we announced our new game—Worbital. We’ve just opened a Steam group for Worbital. From now on, all the game’s development updates and news will be shared in its own hub, not to spam the Interplanetary community. So, if you’re interested in following Worbital, you are welcome in the new group! In addition to that, we have just released our first development blog article, telling about the origins of Worbital’s concept. When did we get the original idea and how did it turn into a full concept? What did the first Worbital prototype look like, and why did it make us scream in agony? Read in our blog.

Over the course of Interplanetary’s development, we have received a lot of feedback and suggestions from you and implemented a bunch of them. There were some feature suggestions that seemed like fun and we liked them as much as you did, but unfortunately, they just didn’t fit the concept of Interplanetary as we see it. But, all of those ideas didn’t just go to waste. Say hello to Interplanetary’s little cousin – the action-packed planet shooter, Worbital. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p07BjLTe41I Based on the craziest player feedback, Worbital is an attempt to realize gravitational interplanetary war in real-time. The game offers same artillery mayhem, but faster paced with unpredictable chain reactions and set within smaller purely two-dimensional solar systems. Exploding and shifting planets, colonization, moons–all of those are here. Worbital is Interplanetary re-imagined, a chance to relax, let go off realism and simply enjoy the blasting fun! Worbital is early in development. Gameplay details, visuals and such may still change. The screenshots and video shown are visual targets, not actual gameplay. We are aiming to release Worbital in Summer 2018, for PC and major consoles.
But what about Interplanetary? As part of the team is developing Worbital, some of us are continuing the work on updating the Enhanced Edition. There are still features and fixes that are waiting for their turn to be completed. So, keep that feedback coming! We’re listening and doing our best to support the game. Meanwhile, you can check out the following links to keep up with Worbital development and news: Website: https://www.worbital.com/ Development Blog: https://worbital.tumblr.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/worbital Twitter: https://twitter.com/worbitalgame

Greetings again, Interplanetarists! For the past week we've been doing our best to fix issues in the game as soon as possible, putting out patches almost every day. By now, it seems we've been able to weed out most of the more critical issues and to add a few nice things along the way. It’s impossible to keep up that pace forever, so the following updates will be coming out at a more manageable pace. One reason for that is that it’s more effective to work on patches without having to put them out every day, now that the most critical ones are seemingly done. The other reason is that a part of the team is taking a quick break to catch their breath after this intense marathon to finish, release and patch the game up. The reception so far has been nothing short of amazing! Thanks to everyone playing and sending us feedback for the past week, it's been really useful and encouraging!

Surprise! The shiny new Interplanetary: Enhanced Edition is available on Steam right now! What’s New As we have announced earlier this summer, this is a massive update for Interplanetary. So massive, that, in fact, it is its own game. Essentially, this new version is a re-build of the entire game for the sake of making it more stable, as well as better sounding and looking. It’s still the same old Interplanetary deep down, but better. As we are taking Interplanetary to the new level, we are also expanding the geography of our community. In this version we are introducing localization into German language. More languages coming soon! The update also includes a bunch of new features, some of which had been much requested in the last couple of years, like Online AI Bots, Reconnect and new weapons. Find the full changelog below. What Happens to the Original
The original Interplanetary is also included in the new version and should appear in your library automatically if you purchase the Enhanced Edition. The initial version of the game will no longer be on sale as a separate package. However, for the time being, the store page and the community hub will remain open. The Future Though the Enhanced Edition is, in a way, completing Interplanetary, it is not absolutely final as is. Rebuilding a game from scratch hasn’t been smooth sailing, as expected. While we’ve bulldozed over most old bugs, completely new issues have periodically risen. As a matter of fact, we’re already hammering away at some upcoming fixes and we’re prepared to keep working at it for as long as we can. Please bear with us through the initial roughness. For future patching, it’s essential that you give us feedback on your game experience. As usual, the community forum is the ideal place for that, so you are welcome to join the new discussions. Also, you can reach us on Twitter and Facebook. Our very next feature update will see the light in just a few days and it will include localizations into several more languages: French, Spanish, Russian and Simplified Chinese. Happy blasting!
