Planet Crafter past & future

Hello terraformers!

[h2]Happy new year from the Miju Team![/h2]

Brice, Coralie, Emilie, Florian, Serge and I (Amélie) wish you all the best for 2025!

It's been almost 3 years since we launched Planet Crafter in Early Access, and each new year brings its share of new exciting things! But we are not done yet, and we still have a lot of ideas! So expect new things from us!

We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all once again for supporting our small indie studio. We do our best to provide quality content to a relatively low price, and hopefully give you a lot of hours of fun with our terraforming game.

For now, we are going to focus on testing new things for a few weeks, and then we'll be back to you with more information.

Stay tuned!

Both Soulmask and The Planet Crafter are slowly clawing their way out of Steam Early Access with regular updates, and each is equally worth your time. If you're yet to try either, then, you're in luck because both are now part of a discounted bundle.
