After more than 1 year in development, you now finally receive Planet Pioneers as full release 🥳

To keep things transparent, here are some details if you are still unsure if it’s worth the price.

What are the main changes compared to the demo?

  1. Planet size progression (Planets become bigger and more difficult over time)

  2. You can turn off pollution if you want

  3. Free build mode (including configurable planet generation)

  4. Desert and ice planets

  5. Multiple new tiles, including a few tiles with wider range

  6. Updated tutorial setup

  7. Saving the progress (only allowing one savegame at a time)

  8. Steam achievements and highscores

  9. Some balancing

  10. A lot of bugfixes (obviously) and quality of life changes

What might be included in a future version (NOT promised):

  1. Full controller / Steamdeck support (so far the feedback in tests was that the placement with controller is too tedious)

  2. More variance for common buildings

  3. Dedicated Linux build
