I saw this one over at RPS, where they featured an article about the game. Basically, you are playing as an explorer, where you have to survive. Its also a terraforming, building, crafting sort of a thing.
Singleplayer right now, but plans for multiplayer and co-op.
Seems quite interesting actually, and there is a free demo as well I certainly have to try!

That looked really good, right up until it turned into a tower defense game. I hope that's not the focus.
Looks promising. I wouldn't mind the tower defense aspect as long as that didn't become the biggest feature (as in spoil a lovely large open natural environment by sticking ugly gun totting forts all over). Focus on time to wander around and find/make stuff/personal battles with the natives etc and i can see it being lots of fun.
Looks like they are trying to keep it very open ended. I imagine the defenses are there to protect your structures, but you don't NEED the structures at all. There are quests, but the vid says you may ignore them. So it's apparently open-ended.
I'm more concerned about how the difficulty scales. In my ideal, there will be set places in the world that are more dangerous, since it's all created and not generated. So it would be like those action-RPGs where things get more dangerous as you move away from the landing zone or something. However, taking that approach might make the game less interesting for those who just want to explore...so I don't know.
Just a heads-up for the Kickstarter - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...anet-explorers
Looks very nice - Is the kickstarter run short, or did we just not know about it until 20 days into its run? Also, very modest kickstarter levels and good rewards - I like it!
The latter. I backed it a week or two ago I believe.Originally Posted by Razgon
Just stumbled upon this and dropped $15 to back it. Looks pretty slick.
Interesting. Appreciate the heads-up.
