About

From an uninhabited planet in space to an ecosystem full of life.

In Planetary Life you will be able to shape a planet in the purest Sandbox Simulation style, playing with its mountains, seas and even its climate, to create the perfect habitat to harbor life.

PLANETS

Control a planet with the multiple tools available. Let the tectonic plates shape the mountains and seas, modify the climate, the heat of the nucleus, the volcanic activity, the gases of the atmosphere, etc... until shaping the home of your creatures.

CREATURES AND EVOLUTION

Add creatures and evolve them from simple organisms to intelligent beings. Design and expand them looking for the balance of a perfect ecosystem.

Help them or let them fight for survival on their own.

CELL STAGE

Create new life forms combining different types of cells. From single cells and multicellular life, to macroscopic creatures and plants.

GEOSPHERE AND ATMOSPHERE

Change core heat and volcanic activity to shape your planet terrain through volcanoes.

Manipulate rainfalls, cloud and surface albedo to change the climate.

ECOSYSTEMS

Build ecosystems. Maintain the balance between fauna and flora. Do not let them break the harmony and avoid the extinction of species.

WALK YOUR PLANETS

You can walk around and see from a first-person point of view your planet and your creations.

CIVILIZATIONS


This feature is still not available in Early Access, it will come in a major update soon!

When your creatures reach sufficient intelligence they will organize themselves into tribes and later flourish into civilizations. Manage and help them in the battle for technology to conquer the planet.
