Thank you for an amazing 1.0 launch!

Hello terraformers!

It's been two weeks since Planet Crafter 1.0 was released, and we are, once again, overwhelmed by the incredible response from our players!

Many new terraformers joined the adventure, alone or with their friends, allowing Planet Crafter to reach more than 28,000 concurrent players on Steam, and almost the same number of positive reviews!

We can never thank you enough for believing in our project, carried out by our small team of 6 people. This will allow us to continue supporting the game for a long time to come!

The future of Planet Crafter



We will continue to maintain the game by adding new content. We have already started working on the next free update and we will continue to add regular free updates to the game, trying to deliver several updates per year. We're also thinking about DLC, like new planets to explore, but that will take a little more time.

All this taking into account your feedback, as we did during the early access period. We are currently reading all the reviews, good and bad, on Steam, to improve the experience as much as possible.



Planet Crafter Soundtrack



For version 1.0, we worked with the incredible Benjamin Young to produce the perfect soundtrack for the game. A soundtrack that will evolve along with the terraforming and play depending on where you are on the planet. We're really proud of this collaboration and so we've released the soundtrack on all platforms for you to listen to as you please.

Planet Crafter 1.0 is OUT NOW!

Hello terraformers!

Planet Crafter 1.0 is NOW LIVE!



Check out the major differences with the early access version:


This 1.0 version is packed with new content:


  • New online multiplayer co-op mode up to 10 players
  • New big animals creation via DNA manipulation

If you have already purchased the game, it will be automatically updated and existing save files will transfer seamlessly. But with the 30% discount, it's the perfect time to start a new game, alone or with up to 9 friends simultaneously!

After 2 years in Early Access, and 7 major updates in between, we want to thank our amazing community who gave us feedback and helped us trough this journey to make the best 1.0 we could!



We tried to keep true to the promises we made two years ago, and hopefully you'll think we delivered. Some things couldn't be added to the game, like a vehicule, as we felt the map was not well suited and couldn't find the right balance for it yet.

Being a really small team of 6 people for a projet of this scope, we know the game is not 100% perfect yet, but we do our best to make clear decisions. We will continue to improve the game in the future as we still have a lot of ideas for new and exciting content!



We are really excited to finally share this with you and we sincerelly hope you'll enjoy your journey!
