Stellar Overload

Planets³ is now Stellar Overload

A new name to better describe the game.

The open-world, block-based role-playing game Planets³ is now called {Stellar Overload}. The team at French studio Cubical Drift decided to change the name because the new one fits better to what they're aiming to achieve, with {Stellar Overload} an important part of the game.

"{Stellar Overload} is the name of an in-game cosmic cataclysm which caused mass extinction throughout our solar system. When did it happen? Why? Even our elders have no answers. The only thing we know for certain is that every day's a fight for survival since the event. United against the alien invaders, and their infernal machines, we - the last survivors of the human race, have chosen our destiny. We will Fight, Survive and Rebuild," explained Michel Thomazeau, project director at Cubical Drift.

The universe of {Stellar Overload} consists entirely of 25cm³ blocks. It's a world built around freedom. The blocks can be combined in a variety of ways to build objects, structures and landscape features. Surroundings can be completely modulated, destroyed and recreated. And if we want to leave the planet, we must build our own spaceships. Here we have some new screens and art for the game.
