Description

PlanetSmith is a sandbox building and crafting survival voxel game set on spherical worlds. Players will explore procedurally generated planets, build rockets and explore the universe.


Unlike all other voxel games the world is a spherical planet unlocking exciting exploration and gameplay opportunities.


The game will be released initially on Steam EarlyAccess as a premium game.

Gameplay

The game will have two game modes; survival and creative, both of which can either be played as a single player experience or on a server as a multiplayer game. No matter which mode the player chooses the worlds are made out of hexagonal blocks which provides a novel building experience but also allows for the surface to be curved into a planet.


Survival Mode

survival mode the player will spawn into an earth-like procedurally generated world. They will then have to find resources, craft tools and build shelter to protect themselves from the creatures that come out at night. Once they have established themselves, players will go on quests, explore dungeons and fight bosses in order to obtain the technology they need to build a spaceship. They will then be able to fly to other planets in the solar system, gather more advanced resources allowing them to build a gateway which will open up the endgame letting them do interstellar travel.

Creative Mode

Creative mode is a pure building mode and is all about enabling the players' own creativity. Players will be able to choose the type of starting planet they want for world generation, then they have access to an infinite supply of all building blocks and can build anything they can imagine. Players can fly so the sky really is the limit!
