Hello Everyone!
We hope everyone is having an enjoyable holiday season, and with that we would like to offer Planetes at 20% off during this year's Steam winter sale!
There will be an overall price increase shortly after the new year, so get the game now while it's at it's cheapest!
Additionally we will be patching shortly (hopefully tomorrow the 21st).
Some things you can expect to see in this patch:
- Holiday cheer! Various items have been added or re-skinned to make Planetes more festive during the holidays.
- New Armor panels. The old one block panel was not sufficient and had issues. We have now added six new armor panel parts. Three sizes of each armor level with both light armor and medium armor. Also the armor parts have been improved so they can now fit closely together. Previously it was not possible to place two armor panels on an inside corner.
- Redone starting star system. All the old planets have been replaced with new ones using our updated mesh for planets. This allows us to build much more dynamic and interesting planets, also much larger!
- Loot box spawning. We now have a system in-place that will spawn loot crates semi randomly in preset areas on asteroids and planets. These crates can contain anything from resources to weapons and items.
- These are just a few things you can expect in the upcoming patch, which will also include plenty of smaller additions and many fixes and changes.
Thanks for reading, and Happy Holidays!
