Planetary Creatures2D
The first installment in the Planetary Creatures franchise Planetary Creatures2D is a multiplayer online battle adventure game in which Players take a Squad of up to six into 3v3 adventures. With two main game modes Players will enjoy quick battles in the Arena Mode, or set their sights higher in Safari Royale! Mode, scouring procedurally generated landscapes of mystery and wonder. Players will enjoy a mixture of traditional moba and RTS controls in what I have dubbed an "RTSLite" experience.
Planetary Creatures2D is based around competitve gameplay. In the spirit of equal opportunity every Creature will be made to be equally competitive. To achieve this there is a power ranking system. In Arena Mode Players are given a set power score (30 or 300 now but subject to change) and must choose a Squad with a total power ranking of or under the set score. Each Creature is given a power ranking score between 1-10 or 1-100 and when selected this value is subtracted from the Squad's overall power score. Squads may consist of six standard stage 3 Creatures but should a Player wish to use a super strong or legendary Creature for example they will then have to swap another one of their standard stage 3 Creatures out for something less competitive. Players will really have to determine how to get the most out of their strategy by either working around a few main Creatures with the rest acting in support, or a balanced Squad of solid Creatures. Another tactic to consider is to use the unevolved stages of a Creature to get the same effect at a lower power ranking.
There are a few different game modes in Planetary Creatures2D. Arena Mode, the main battle mode, has a few settings to configure for ranked vs unranked play, map settings, and other custom options. Arena Mode's ranked ladder will be linked to the game's E-Sport in the form of the Grand Tour. This system allows for gamers to be recognied for their skills, streamers and other small time content creators to easily host professionally sanctioned and "swag" supported events, and organizations and influencers to have streamlined affordable partnership opportunities. Live events will be cannon within the expanse, with community events and individuals commonly commonly referenced as part of The Grand Tour. Planetary Creatures2D is not currently persistent. This means Planets are not sustained from playthrough to playthrough. A game is generated, Players load in and play, and then it ends. To add variety Safari Royale! Mode allows for up to 30 Players to customize inputs to procedurally generate the game environment or 'Habitat'. Players are free to roam and explore for hidden surprises, catching, traning, and battling Creatures, and cultivate the Habitat in the direction of climate consciousness. When all but one of the Players have been eliminated the game ends with winner gets their Champion's prize.
