Alas, due to unforeseen circumstances, I’m not able to write a blog post this week. This post is mostly just so that I keep my huge streak of posting every Friday. Normal service will be resumed next week. Sorry for any inconvenience. Be safe and take care folks
Plants (like all resources) – are incredibly important in Fringe Planet. This week I’ll be taking a look at the various plants you will discover in the game. Plants can be harvested or chopped down. When a plant is harvested it will drop a set amount of components (be it fruit or shavings) depending on
It’s very important to me that players feel an emotional connection to their peons. This is mostly because peons die a lot and I’m quite a mean person. With the various personalities the peons have (talking about their stats, their traits and their memories) – means they act very differently and every peon is fairly
This week, I look at the final thing that makes every peon unique – traits. I’ve discussed how the peon stats work and also gone into details about how memories work. Traits are unique characteristics of a peon, that can change their stats as well as tweaking the AI brain the peon has. Traits come

The time has finally arrived! Merchandise for Fringe Planet is now available. I’ve had a lot of fun getting these ready and designing various things for the store. So before I go into a lengthy discourse about my reasoning (so you may just want to click this and forget about rest of the blog post!)
The universe of Fringe Planet is dangerous one. The peons have the odds stacked against them, which is why it is your job as a player to keep them alive (or don’t, try and kill them in amusing ways, I won’t judge!). Dangerous creatures will try and kill the peons. Rituals will cause harm and
This week has been all about getting back into the swing of things – continuing full time development on Fringe Planet. A holiday is always a wonderful thing (and great for recharging the batteries) – but the work still needs to be done. Doubly so, when you are a solo developer. The big push this
