DEV BLOG #1
Hey! As we promised before, in the latest update, we are going to share news about Exoplanet’s development, its progress, and future changes, and this post is the very first in a row. So what do we do now?
This is a sneak peek at some assets we are working on at the moment, its development from concept art to models. Some of them are already available in the game, some will be pretty soon, and some will appear a bit later.

As you may know, the starting area lacks a lot of assets so far but we are working on new ones all the time to make it more interesting and immersive. For example, we put a lot of efforts to improve Outcast Camp, create a lot of assets for abori’s culture and life.
Old ruins, idols, graves, coffins, and tombstones—some of these culture objects you can already find in game but mostly we are saving all that for the new tutorial, there will be an abori cemetery in the area.
There are some assets for everyday life, of course. First of all, tables and chairs. Since Outcasts are working with scrap metal, almost everything in their camp is made with available materials. But there are also some tables and chairs carved out of stone, a legacy from old days.
Another thing for decorations is drapery. These cloth are not yet final but it will make a fine adjustment for abori dwellings in Outcast Camp.
Abori dwellings are pretty empty at the moment, so it would be nice to create a bunch of small assets for detailing like this utensil:
Of course, we are also working on assets for detailing the starting area. So far plants, mostly.
This is twisted cacti, an unpretentious plant which can grow even on infertile soil like the one in Anomaly Lake area.
Next one is resinous plant which is actually a mushroom. It emits tar you can use for crafting. Perhaps, we will make it explosive in future, but it requires bigger ones species due to the fact these mushrooms are pretty small and would be hard to hit.
Another new asset is desert corn. You can find both normal plants and dry ones that have ceased to bear fruit. Corn is a good meal. And probably it can be used for making booze as well?
I guess that’s enough for today, feel free to share your feedback and ideas or ask questions. I will make another post like this in a few weeks. Thanks for your support.
