Planet Alpha 31

This is amazing work! Thanks for sharing! :slight_smile:

Very glad you guys like Planet Alpha 31. And quite motivating as well, I must admit :slight_smile:

So here are some new screenshots fresh out of the oven showing a checkpoint and the wall mounted turrets - one of the mechanical enemies our hero will encounter.

Really great work, and something I am really interested in at the moment - lighting and low poly meshes. Are you planning on releasing some kind of tutorials or share your experiences in some other form? Not a priority at this stage for sure, but maybe in the future? Seeing the results of your work so far it wolud be very interesting to have a look backstage.

I love the low poly contrast with the textures you chose, it creates an extremely surreal effect. I look forward to seeing more of Planet Alpha 31 once it is released!

Looks awesome! Great job!

Looks awesome! Great job!

Great use of color to achieve a unique look!

I love your art style ! The project looks very primising :wink:

Iā€™ve got an itch and the only thing that will cure it is MORE PORTAL! -I donā€™t know if you get the reference to the joke but, seriously, as others have said, that portal effect is fantastic!

Howdy ,

I remember seeing this project when the thread first started, and WOW! This project has really taken shape. I am super excited for when this game is released. Fantastic work!

Hello,
Sorry for the long absence - Iā€™ve been quite busy at my full time job, releasing two games in a month but Iā€™ve also been busy wrapping together a playthrough video with the prototype for Planet Alpha 31.
Thanks for all the kind words, quite motivating!

So, regarding the prototype level me and are working on, I would say is around 50% completed - both in length and in contend - with more diverse puzzles, enemies and environments to be added.
Still, I believe thereā€™s enough to give you an idea of what Planet Alpha 31 will be like and I hope youā€™ll enjoy it.

Watch it here:

But I strongly recommend full size here: https://vimeo.com/113235701

This is awesome. I love the environment and lighting.
The puzzles and game design in general are looking good too. Are you planning to release a demonstration version so we can test and feel the game for ourselves?

Keep it up!

Glad you like it. Youā€™re game looks awesome too, canā€™t wait to see more. Havenā€™t thought so far in the future about demos but at some point Iā€™ll have to do some user testing - closed most likely.

Here are few gif since loves them :smiley:

Coming along quite nicely. Iā€™m looking forward to the final!

This is one of the most polished and cool things i saw on the forum!
Great job so far!

Hi guys,
hereā€™s a small sneak peek of a new area Iā€™m developing for Planet Alpha 31:

Check it out in full-screen here:

Hope you all are having a great vacation :slight_smile:

And here are some screenshots and GIFS from the new area:

Hi guys,
Long time no see :slight_smile:

Iā€™m currently implementing a new core mechanic for Planet Alpha 31 and I could use some help testing the game-play.

If youā€™re interested in helping out send an email here:

Include some info like age, what type of games you like, how much you play and on what platform etc.

Currently the build runs on Windows PC only with medium-high specs. At 2560x1440 full-screen in editor the game runs @40-50 fps on a Geforce 770 GTX 4Gb ram.
An xbox controller is recommended but you can play the game with keyboard alone as well.

At this point Iā€™m looking for 4-5 people that like puzzle platformer type of games.

Thanks,

For the past couple of weeks Iā€™ve been working on a new core mechanic for Planet Alpha 31. Itā€™s not done yet but hereā€™s a small sneak peek with some of the elements that will use it.
Looking forward to share more.
