Brief Description

A sci-fi sandbox game of constructing your own planetary fate. Become a crash-landed scientist astronaut determined to beat the odds and build great things. The particle-manipulating multitool and enviro-protec suit are your best friends on this journey.

Description

Planet Nomads is a sandbox game of survival through building. It takes players on a journey across believable alien planets that are big, beautiful and unsentimental. The environment changes as the players travel around the globe, whether that's an icy pole, sandy hot equator or everything in between.

The journey is full of awe-inspiring sights and experiences, but it's also a dangerous one. Nature poses different threats, through its many beasts and unhealthy conditions such as radiation, poison, heat and cold. Players should seek sources of food and water to stay healthy and strong.

In order to combat the adversities, players should act smart and rely on the technology at hand. Rather than solving everything with an ever-more powerful arsenal of guns and weapons, players should think twice before engaging the armored Godillos or trying to loot animals' nests for resources. It's more about building your own corner in the world and making bold moves into the more dangerous parts of the world through careful observation and learning.

Once well fitted for survival, players should roam the whole planet, on the lookout for more precious materials to progress their technology further.

We're designing Planet Nomads to be able to gradually expand its game world and keep adding new content and mechanics. Those we already have in mind and those that will come up later – directly from people playing Planet Nomads in its Early Access phase.

We are Craneballs, a team of 20 youngsters located in Ostrava, a fierce city in the Czech Republic reborn from the ashes of its coal industry heritage. We’ve been making mobile games as a team since 2009 – our biggest success came with Overkill in 2011, which reached #1 on iPhone US charts.

Since then the original shooter game turned into series, and each new installment was a huge leap forward for us as far as game development goes. While the first Overkill was completely 2D, we already had 3D enemies and gun models in Overkill 2. The last one, Overkill 3, was our biggest game yet – full 3D world, 3rd person shooter, also our first game in Unity. We learned a lot about 3D modeling, did our own character animations in our newly set-up mocap studio. It truly was our biggest game… until now.
