Just when you thought Planets3, that’s Planets Cubed to you and me, couldn’t get any bigger they’ve just blasted past their initial asking goal of $250k on Kickstarter. What does that mean, you ask, well it means stretch goals of course my fine friends!
If they can make it up to $300k and I don’t see why they could not we’ll be getting additional translations of the game and a Mac version as well. The big one I’m looking forward to is the Planets3 Editor at the $500k stretch goal. I think the community can really come up with some cool stuff with all the imagination they have.
Finally if they can reach to the stars and pull out the $1 Million dollar stretch goal we’ll get access to the entire universe complete with SPACE BATTLES! Did you hear what I said, SPACE BATTLES! We can reenact the Death Star Trench Run in FULL SCALE, Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! So be sure to get over there and check out Planets3 because while they’ve only just flipped the Ignition switch this rocket is going places.
PRESS RELEASE
Cubical Drift are proud to announce that the KickStarter for Planets has exceeded its initial funding target of $250,000!
April 4 2014, Cannes, France – Cubical Drift are proud to announce that the KickStarter for Planets³ has exceeded its initial funding target of $250,000!
‘We are incredibly grateful to every backer we have for believing in our dreams of a Cubical world. The kind words, encouraging each other and helping us to get featured on websites all over the world has helped us to fund. Without you guys, there would be no Planets³. The love for our game is both very heartwarming and endearing – we can’t thank you enough.“, said Michel Thomazeau, Planets³ Project Director.
“Planets³ is something we have all worked hard on to get to this and now we can continue on and see this through to completion. We are very happy with the reaction from the games media press and public and very motivated to make P3 live up to everybody’s expectations.”
Planets³ is a beautifully presented, unique mix of adventure, RPG, dungeon crawler and building. Set in a multi-player universe, players can shape their own adventure and visit multiple planets, each composed of nearly 30 trillion blocks. Truly breath-taking landscapes and environments will be achieved through voxel-based graphics and the “Long Distance Display Engine”.
Progress through the game is achieved through “levelling-up” their character, embarking on various story-driven quests, tool-building and habitation and vehicle crafting. All of these things contributing to ever-deeper exploration of the planets in the vast universe.
Planets³ also offers side quests allowing players to unlock secrets of the game’s world and to find special items only reachable in secondary storylines.
