Petit Planet Dev Details How Gameplay Will Keep Players Hooked

Petit Planet’s big launch is on the horizon and a live-service approach will give players plenty to enjoy, with more details on the mechanics being detailed.

Standing out in the life-sim genre is no easy feat, giving HoYoverse a stern battle, but the live-service model provides room for regular updates, and the core content of the game should provide hours of entertainment.

As part of detailed interview with assembled media in Seoul, where Prima Games was among those in attendance, lead game designer Murphy detailed what players can expect to sink their teeth into immediately upon launch, and how that experience will evolve.

“There is no ultimate goal, we aim to provide different types of goals for different players,” she explained.

“In the short term, when players log in every day, they can experience new creatures, weather, and explore new things, with the little surprises we can provide.

“The mid-term gaming experience, as players invest more time and energy, will see relationships with NPCs gradually develop to unlock more stories behind those neighbours and get more familiar with them.

“In the long term, players can decorate their planet and their home, and there will be lots of decorations and furniture, and you’ll always get new ideas as events are launched.

“Also, players can enjoy and share content with the community, and, as a live-service game, we aim to provide different sorts of ongoing content for players.”

Updates for post-launch are already being outlined, including the ability to adjust the time of day, but the features are still being finalized.

“In the future, we will have some updates to allow the player to experience and adjust the time of day in future, so stay tuned for updates.”
