Planet Potassium

I'm developing Planet Potassium as an original cooperative, physics-driven adventure set in a chaotic banana world. The concept is built around teamwork, environmental problem-solving and unpredictable situations, with Unreal Engine planned as the production platform.

The opportunity

Adventure games often focus on solo heroics. A cooperative, physics-driven approach wrapped in a playful banana theme can make the genre more approachable while still rewarding teamwork.

My role

I defined the concept, art direction and design pillars for Planet Potassium. The focus is on how players interact physically with a chaotic world and with each other, rather than on fixed unit types or resource economies.

Key design pillars

• Cooperative problem-solving and teamwork
• Chaotic, physics-driven gameplay
• Humorous banana-themed world and identity
• Memorable shared situations and emergent gameplay
• Planned for Unreal Engine production

Evolution

This idea grew from an earlier tactical-grid direction; the current concept keeps the playful banana theme and reframes the experience as a cooperative, physics-driven adventure.

Results & current status

Planet Potassium is a game concept in pre-production. No prototype or engine implementation has begun, and Unreal Engine is planned as the production platform. It is included to show creative direction and product ideation, not as a launched game.

Tools & methods

• Game concept design
• Cooperative gameplay design
• Physics-driven systems design
• Creative direction
• World building
• Unreal Engine planning

Lessons learned

A strong theme makes a concept memorable, but the moment-to-moment physics and cooperation are what create shared stories. Documentation is important, but the real test will be in playable prototypes.
