A screenshot of in-development game PlanetSmith. It features a hilly region of grassland, with white clouds obscuring the sun on a blue sky.

Making A More Realistic Planet In My Indie Game #PlanetSmith
Making A More Realistic Planet In My Indie Game #PlanetSmith YouTube video by Incandescent Games

We pride ourselves on listening to our community in order to make our game the best it can be. So that's why we've decided to add more realistic planets to PlanetSmith. Because the truth is the earth itself is flat, and so our planets should be too. #importantupdate #gamedev

To survive in PlanetSmith, you're going to need to make sure you're well rested. For that, you're going to need a great place to sleep. So how about a nice cozy bedroll? #gaming #survival #crafting
