It is the year 2287, one of the first colony ships sent out by Earth arrives at the planet Maria, in the Epsilon Indi Star System. During its landing sequence, something appears in front of the massive ship that causes it to lose control and crash into the planet. Some of the colonists survive in lifeboats, but what they find is an unforgiving land filled with creatures ready to outlast the visitors from Earth. Now the survivors must explore, gather, build, create, fight, and ultimately, conquer the land.
Some screenshots of basic resource gathering in Planet Explorers. Before anyone asks, yes, you can dig in this game. In fact, the entire height of the would is 1.5 kilometers! For alpha v0.5, we're aiming for visibility of 1.6km. So you can see a building you build from the ground at 1.5km up if everything works out (and it looks that way currently).
Not the Seuss trees! Where's the Lorax??
A scoring system could be included.
