Adventure Trailer
In Planet Explorers, it is the year 2287, one of the first colony ships sent out by Earth arrives at the planet Maria, in the Epsilon Indi Star System. During its landing sequence, something appears in front of the massive ship that causes it to lose control and crash into the planet. Some of the colonists survive in lifeboats, but what they find is an unforgiving land filled with creatures ready to outlast the visitors from Earth. Now the survivors must explorer, gather, build, create, fight, and ultimately, build a new home.

Being able to design and create your own weapons (Shields, Turrents, etc to be added) is a fantastic idea and was a feature that I got a lot of enjoyment out of.

I'll leave The Cranky Old Gamer to convince you, I found he pretty much summed it up nicely.
Also... He sounds like Nicolas Cage.
This game is currently in Alpha 0.53 at the time of posting and has already won me over, with Multiplayer coming in the future (Alpha 0.60) you can share that same experience with others.
Pathea just finished their Kickstarter Campaign and ended up with $137,765 out of their $100,000 dollar goal.
Planet Explorers has recently been Greenlit on Steam, which is fantastic news.
The Alpha 0.53 is currently available to play for free and can be downloaded here.
[collapse=Alpha Note] Obviously due to the game being in it's Alpha stage, the controls, animations, mechanics will feel unpolished[/collapse]
