Alien Planet is a dramatic 3D environment designed to be explored. You control an alien explorer walking across strange terrain filled with colourful rock formations, unusual textures, and thick atmospheric fog. As you move around the landscape, distant scenery slowly emerges from the mist, creating a sense of mystery and discovery.

Explore the code
Open the code and look for these parts:
Planet atmosphere (sky + fog) The alien mood comes from two simple effects: – the sky uses a three-colour gradient – bright orange, yellow and purple colours create an otherworldly horizon – a fog block adds thick coloured mist across the scene – the fog density controls how much of the world you can see
Alien terrain Instead of a flat floor, the project uses: – an uneven terrain map – a custom material with an unusual eyeball texture – bright colours that make the ground feel alien and unfamiliar This gives the world much more character than a standard landscape.
Alien explorer character A character is loaded and customised with unusual colours: – purple skin – bright green hair – colourful clothing This helps reinforce the feeling that you’re exploring a world far from Earth.
Rock formations Large rock models are placed around the map: – multiple rock clusters are positioned at different locations – bright colour combinations make them stand out – many are hidden by the fog until you get close
Third-person camera The camera follows behind the explorer: – camera_follow is enabled – a large radius gives a wide view of the landscape – the player can look across the terrain while exploring
Remix ideas
Try extending the project with your own ideas:
