Planet Explorers Kickstarter! And Alpha 0.53 news

After talking about it for a couple of months, we've finally launched our Kickstarter campaign, you can goto it here: Kickstarter.com

Now we really need all of your help in helping us making this campaign a success. You can help us financially or by getting more people to know about the game and the campaign. Tell all of your friends and favorite game sites and boards. We want to make this game as good as we possibly can, and you're support will go a long way in getting us to that goal.

And speaking of trying to reach for that goal, we've just released alpha 0.53. In this build, we've fixed many bugs that players have found in a0.52. We've also included a few new and useful features.
