We need your help to bring an adventure game to life. We are looking for people that want to be involved in creating content for Planet Quest using MecaBricks.
Please take a look at the pictures at the link below to have an understanding of the look and feel of the game, plus a small gimps of the story.

We are looking for mad max thunderdome style town with isolated outposts and locations to fill the world, It's a rough junk almost steampunk planet with space traders, pirates, hidden danger and exciting characters.
Locations are small dwellings/huts, workshops, ship repair/refuel, markets etc. Lots of makeshift not perfect places that look like they have been made from scrap or ship parts, nothing big and complex at this stage. Also any land planet vehicles or smashed destroyed ones.
This is a ultra creative project that is not in line with normal brick builds, but I'm keen to see who wants to be involved, if we get enough support we can release a free playable version for the MecaBricks community.
Thank you
Adrian
@Adrian thank you!
@Adrian
Oh yes, will definitely sign up! 😄
I downloaded it! Question is, how do I get started? Does it work on Mac?
No, the game only works for PC (eg. Windows).
Oh ok. I’m downloading Bootcamp on my Mac so hopefully I’ll be running Windows soon! Can’t wait to play the game. 😃
Okay. Good luck! 😉
Sleepy that dish is epic. Well done going to work hard to add all the new builds into the game.
Thank you
Adrian
Excellent! 😉
The new features in the update are looking splendid Adrian! I'm already hyped for it. 😛
Also, here is a brief list of some things I would like to see improved in the game (current version and upcoming one):
- The game can be pretty laggy, especially in the beginning. I have a laptop with an Intel i7 quad-core with 8 GB of RAM. This is a bit concerning on the game's performance, not everyone has access to desktop machines.
- The planet could use a bit more of some "random positioning". Instead of having it just rotate on its global Z axis, why not have it rotating on a titled local Z axis? This might help the player to see the planet as more "lifelike".
- Can we have camera movements? Basically the player uses WASD to move and the arrow keys to move the camera? This will help tremendously in navigation.
Samino thanks for the feedback, if the game is laggy you might need to select a lower graphical setting when the game starts. I will add another lower level of performance to the selection.
I can make the changes to the planet rotation
The camera movement is something I have concidered, but this might only go in when I have a chance to look at some conroller options. It is more complex then it seems as the current camera control is a basic AI system based on the players movement and location. It is on my radar.
Thank you
Adrian
Here are some smallish builds for the game!
a small space station:

And a small broken radar dish, since Sleepy did a big one. 😃
No problem. I use the lowest possible setting, but even then, but CPU will heat up like crazy. The temperatures go into the 160°-180° F! 😦
@StarWarsnerd63 love the radar dish! The space station looks really cool too.
@AdrianRayner thanks! Actually the radar dish is designed so that it can go infinitely big. (I think)
@samino I have added two more graphical setting medium and low. I hope this helps with the temp. It will be on the next update.
@starwarsnerd the dish is great we need a lot more random broken stuff like this well done
@sleepy do you think you could change the tracks to a monorail version so it's more futuristic and can you try and do a monorail train and carrage that is wrecked.
Regards
Adrian
@Adrian sure thing! When you say monorail , which one? The left or the right? Yes I will start working on the train and carriage.
@ Sleepy i like the right if you can, thanks
Adrian
Okay!
@AdrianRayner Thank you! 😃 Do you know when the next update will be available?
Here's the second version of the rail.
