![]() I am extremely excited to boot up Planetary Annihilation with a cup of hot chocolate while the snow outside pours down. Nanolathe technology, quite similar to the real-life. With a traditional lathe, stock is spun in place while various tools are used to remove small amounts of material at a time until the desired look is achieved. Now this launch is a soft date, so it may change based on the alpha and beta feedback. In the RTS computer games Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander, nanolathes are the systems used by construction units and structures to produce additional units and structures. Then it will move into its beta phase from September through all of November, with an unconfirmed launch in December of this year. If you want to mark your calendars, Planetary Annihilation will hold its alpha phase from June 7th through the end of August. ![]() However, for the early adopter audience, this opportunity through Steam, to play the game early and actually have influence on the game as it develops is invaluable.Īlthough I am very excited for this game to come out, I can't say I am one of the early adopters to pay the $90 price tag however, I am looking forward to the beta phase where the buy-in (which has not been confirmed) should be substantially less. As some are aware, alpha builds of games are generally VERY lacking, and filled with bugs which can be off-putting for the general populace. Additionally, by having this high price point it is very easy for Uber to filter out the early adopters from new players interested in the game. However, Uber announced that the goal with this pricing was to stay fair to all of the backers who paid the price in order to have the early access. This price currently on Steam is $89.99 which, to many people, seems steep. This prompted the team at Uber to work with Steam in order to offer the early version of the game for the similar price paid by the backers via Kickstarter. However, once the Kickstarter was closed, a lot of people still wanted to have early access for a fee. And potentially shooting at them, as well. The game was funded through Kickstarter on Septemand depending on what amount you chose to support the game, you could get access to the alpha testing phase. That headline may seem obvious, but wow.So Total Annihilation (and, more recently, Supreme Commander) were big, but Planetary Annihilation is shooting for the stars.
