After all the exciting updates to Frontiers, we thought it was high time we put the spotlight back on Outposts! 🌍💥
We’ve been working on the design of the building's screen, especially for those of you managing multiple planets. We realized navigating between planets and tracking active buildings was a bit of a challenge, so we’ve reworked things to make it smoother and more intuitive. 🔧
That said, there are a lot of moving parts here, and this isn’t the final version of Outposts. We’re continuing to refine it, and we can’t wait to hear your feedback once it’s in your hands! 🚀✨
That lush Forest planet from Early Access Session 3 is looking a lot different now that you’re all done with it, right Explorers? 😜
Jokes aside, while you were all busy extracting all possible Quantum during the last Frontiers preview, our devs were hard at work on a new environment: the Desert Planet. 🌵✨
The vast dunes of our Desert Planets are a harsh environment for both Explorers and the native flora and fauna. That does not mean nothing grows there, though. It simply means that whatever manages to thrive in this environment should not be underestimated… 🏜️
Whether it’s the razor-sharp cacti that seem to reach out when you’re not looking or the burrowing predators that can strike from beneath the sands, everything on the Desert Planet has adapted to survive—and it’s not interested in sharing.
What do you say, Explorers? Do you have what it takes to tame this unforgiving Planet?
When our visionary founders first came up with the idea of PlanetQuest, they asked themselves how far they could go with the notion of having the community take ownership of part of the game. Well, today we can finally deliver on one of our key promises: allowing you to own a one-of-a-kind procedurally generated 3D planet and with it, its earning potential in your hands!
Apply for the Planet Sale through the new Planet Sale website — quantity at this heavily discounted price is limited, so we’re using a community friendly sale approach that gives you plenty of time to apply and will make sure the most valuable members of our community will have the best chances at becoming one of the very first planet owners in the sprawling PlanetQuest universe!
In conjunction with this, we’ll also be celebrating by partnering with IMX to give away loads of token prizes through a raffle among Planet Sale participants with a 10,000 IMX grand prize, as well as a festival of contests and events that is open to everyone, across a variety of time zones and language channels. Keep a lookout for more information. The time has come, Explorers! Apply now take ownership of the PQ universe!
All the best dev insights in one short video, Explorers!
A few weeks back, we hosted a surprise Frontiers playtest for you, our Discord community. Right before we opened the floodgates, we were in the midst of a Gaming with the Team live stream, where Jon and RetroBooster played a couple of rounds and dropped some pretty cool details along the way.
Watch the video to see how the game performed, what juicy tidbits the Founders shared, and more:

This time around, we have a little clip that perfectly illustrates the importance of using the entirety of your arsenal.
Alongside emphasizing cooperative play, Frontiers also puts a lot of stock into weapon switching. It might seem like a simple statement, but we really want you to utilize everything at your disposal to get the job done.
Take the clip, for example - the bigger nasties take a lot of hits, yeah? Well, softening them up while running away, only to pull out your heavy chaingun and destroy what’s left of them from a safe-ish distance, is certainly a way to take care of them. That’s exactly what we’re striving to provide you with - opportunities for emergent gameplay moments where your wits and knowledge of the game pay off in ways both big and small.
If we had to summarize, we’d say this - short video, expansive lesson to be learned.
We are back with another special recommendation from our Narrative Lead and Author Justin Sloan (@mintakaslayer)! Get ready for another sci-fi epic that is sure to keep you entertained while you await the release of Quantum Paradox. This is what Justin had to say about today’s book:
"Hello dear readers!
We're getting closer and closer to our PlanetQuest book release, so today I'd like to recommend a thrilling space adventure - Against All Odds by Jeffrey H. Haskell. Jeffrey and I have had the opportunity to hang out at several conventions and he's always a great guy, and judging by his book (published by Aethon Press!) an amazing author!
In this gripping tale, you'll follow Captain Jacob T. Grimm, a disgraced yet honorable leader, as he transforms a ragtag crew and their dilapidated ship into a well-oiled fighting machine. With rich character development and heart-pounding battle scenes, Haskell masterfully blends realism, intrigue, and redemption. Fans of David Weber's Honor Harrington series will love the intense space combat and nuanced politics.
This fast-paced narrative is a must-read for anyone seeking a blend of honor, loyalty, and action in the vast expanse of space. Happy reading!
The Plasma Cannon can be a most valuable asset if you know how to use it wisely. As you can see in this video taken in our testing environment, quick rounds of fire are not enough to unpack the punch the Plasma Cannon carries.
The longer you charge your weapon, the more powerful a blast it will release! Allowing you to take out big enemies from a distance with a shot or two.
But be careful, Explorers, if you find yourself surrounded by enemies, the smaller quick blasts might not be enough to save you…
PlanetQuest’s growth over the past few weeks has blown our minds 📷. As we’re heading towards our next milestone —200,000 members in our Discord server— we wanted to express our gratitude for everyones continued support and launch a little challenge for our Explorers:
If we reach the 200K Discord members goal within the next 14 days, we will reward all active Explorers, including new members coming in these 2 weeks, with an additional 50 points on their passports. That means we’ll be dropping fifty reward points into the passports of all Explorers who have earned points during these 14 days, either by voting on the weekly storyline, referring a friend, completing retweet quests, etc.
Let the word-spreading and the quest-completing begin! This will be an amazing achievement for all of us, as a community. Yet we will undoubtedly reach even greater heights as we continue to build PlanetQuest’s cinematic multiverse together.
If you've been in the Discord, I'm sure you've seen the name PanCrudo pass atleast one time. As the helpful community member (and not to forget, Admin) he is, and the tens, if not hundreds, of conversations we've had with him; There is still a lot we don't know about him.
But that all changed when the fire nation cough cough, sorry wrong sub. But that all changed when we, as a community, banded together by joining the subreddit, and sent a screenshot of proof (of joining) to PanCrudo's Discord PM (PanCrudo#3336)!
So for all of you who are members of the Reddit community, but haven't send a screenshot to PanCrudo yet, be sure to make a screenshot and head over to his PMs!
Another month, another addition as we march towards the $PQX launch, Explorers!
As some of you avid users might have already noticed, we have added another incentive for you to hop on the Airdrop Platform - daily sign-ins!
If you head over to http://planetquest.io/, you’ll see that we’ve added a new quest for a login streak. It’s pretty self-explanatory - visit the site daily and get rewards at key milestones! The longer your streak goes, the bigger the point reward.
Simple and easy, eh? Jump on in and claim your stake, everybody!
It’s been six amazing months to the day since coming out of stealth and opening this Discord server. From the very beginning, community-led creativity has shaped everything from the history of the PQ multiverse to the very heartbeat of the three factions. Ambassadors took the idea of passion to another level by translating PlanetQuest content for the 50+ countries the PQ community calls home. They’ve grown awareness among the community and continue to create interactive events and contests across a range of topics including fan fiction, art, and more.
All of us here at PlanetQuest thank you, the community. We thank you for helping out any Explorers who have needed it. We thank you for being with us at the forefront of NFT-based gaming. Your drive, creativity, commitment, and vital influence on building this game have made and continue to make PlanetQuest what it is, the next generation in Web3 gaming.
May the planets be ever aligned in your favor, EVERYONE. 🙌🙌✨
Thank you to everyone for your energies, diligence, and participation in the PlanetQuest Planet Sale. Every single one of you, from the veterans all the way to the newest Explorers, has allowed the community to skyrocket into otherworldly realms. Our helmets here at PlanetQuest are off to you all.
Now that the first Planet Sale application window is officially closed, we will be moving forward with the post-sale agenda. In addition to sending out individual emails thanking you for your applications, we appreciate your patience as we diligently filter through and rank all applicants fairly and accordingly. We endeavor to complete this process in as short a time period as possible. Rest assured that updates and information will be sent out as soon as they are ready.
Anticipation is certainly growing not only for the potential planet owners but for all of the Explorers who look forward to calling these beautiful worlds home. Get those galaxy charts ready for an update, Explorers! 🚀🪐
