Cubical Drift’s Planets³ is being renamed to Stellar Overload, a title just as poor, generic, and uninformative as the original. The voxel-based open world RPG has also just released a new alpha known as The Rokh Camp (I’m going to find the individual who named these things, and I’m going to beat him with a shoe).
In a news update posted to the game’s official website, Cubical Drift goes into the reasoning behind the change, citing a desire to convey the game’s story through its title, as well as trademark-based legal reasons. They also concede that the ³ pun wasn’t all that good to begin with. It’s a start, at least. Besides, Stellar Overload actually looks pretty interesting, nitpicking aside.
Recent work on the game has been focused on its crafting system, as well as introducing a host of new materials, weapons, tools, and an enemy known as the ‘Arluloids’ (don’t get me started). That UI is looking pretty nifty, too.
