Usually, when we think of a 4X game, we imagine a big screen with Steam opened, keyboard & mouse, and a comfy gamer seat (or back pain if you play for too long!).
But we’re currently working on A Planet of Mine: MasterMine Edition, a 4X that is cute, cozy, AND designed for handheld console:
View game pageReleasing our demo at Steam Next Fest (the demo is still available) allowed us to understand that our game is more Steam Deck than PC oriented. A lot of PC players are used to play without a gamepad and we didn’t fully realize that. We’re developing the more niche game possible!
We’re currently working on keyboard & mouse controls, and it works fine. So you can still play our upcoming game on PC, but it would feel way better on Steam Deck:
Controls are tailored to play smoothly on a pad and to make full use of all the Steam Deck buttons,
UI is designed to be readable on a small screen,
There’s a quick game mode, you decide how long you want it to be,
If you feel peaceful, you can be friends with other factions,
You can do some actions, then pause the game and continue later,
Characters are so cute that you want to keep them in your pocket!
The game is perfect to be played on-the-go.
We hope Steam Deck users will enjoy our alien game 😅
