That’s no moon!
Greetings all, some updates for the news deprived!
First update, we’re a little less than half way through emailing everyone their link to the fulfillment website. We know a lot of you are patiently awaiting the mails, and we appreciate it! We’re going slower than we’d like, but we want to make sure we can handle any issues that come up quickly and be able to communicate directly on each one. We will send out another update when ALL emails have gone out, so until then, if you can’t find it in your inbox or your spam filter, we haven’t sent it yet.
Our LiveStream is tomorrow at 1PM PDT (Wednesday, October 31st - Halloween!). As always, towards the start, we’ll be talking about PA before we get into the developer game of Super MNC. Stop by for the whole thing, or just to catch any new info that will be discussed regarding Planetary Annihilation at the start of the show. You can catch it at: http://www.twitch.tv/uberchannel
Last, but I think you’ll agree in no way least, we are releasing to everyone, backers and just fans alike, our first official wallpaper for the game. This is based on concept work the fabulous Steve Thompson has been working tirelessly on. So, without further ado, we present the metal planet!
The images have been sized for any type of device you can imagine, from iPhone to your giant high resolution computer monitor, and even stretched multi-mon.
In addition to the links below, these will be available to view on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/planetaryannihilation

5760x1080 would be highly appreciated.
Creator ThePizzaElemental on November 1, 2012
Hey, looks like we're going to visit Core Prime. I approve.
Creator Lujdu67 on November 1, 2012
Wallpaper in 5760x1080 please.
Creator Jeramy Staub on October 31, 2012
For phones you dont have the 720x1280 screen size.
Creator Lasse Lynggaard on October 31, 2012
Nice Wallpaper, Thank ! :D
Creator Akryum on October 31, 2012
Finaly!!!!!
Thank you Uber! <3
Creator Tom Page on October 31, 2012
Thank you SO much for providing this awesome wallpaper in 2560x1600 and all the other resolutions! Just brilliant, and a good sign of the kind of high quality of output we are looking forward to!
Creator Hanif Harris Handoyo on October 31, 2012
You should also come out with the perfect Res For MBP with retina display 2880 X 1800.....
Creator Hanif Harris Handoyo on October 31, 2012
Love the wallpaper can't wait for the full game!
Creator Russ on October 31, 2012
For people saying their screen resolution isn't there, here's a good way get the same thing without quality loss. All you need is to get something at a higher definition that has the same ratio.
Ex) I have 1440x900, which isn't there. 1440/900=1.6. 1920x1200 and 2560x1600 have the same ratio, so if you download one of those, you can fill you entire desktop like it was made for it. Works for all wallpaper searches too! (No point in getting the 2560 really, you won't notice a difference)
Creator James on October 31, 2012
http://www.neowin.net/news/study-1366x768-now-the-most-popular-screen-resolution
The most popular resolution in the world is 1366x768 and that's what I got.
Ah well, I guess 1600x900 or 1920x1080 will scale to that resolution too.
Nice eyecandy, thanx :)
Creator Gordon Crossman on October 31, 2012
The reddish-brown rectangle? I think that's the 'on' button.
Creator Darren Taylor on October 30, 2012
what is that brown bit near the center of the shot? -- hmmm
Creator Max Burchett on October 30, 2012
How about a 2048 x 1536 for the ipad 3 with retina display?
Creator James Nemanich on October 30, 2012
Everyone seems to forget about the 1366x768 screen resolution..... It's been the standard resolution for 14 and 15 inch laptops for a while...........
Creator Ian Perley on October 30, 2012
Whoooa. That is one seriously cool wallpaper. ^_^
Normally I'd want one without text like a few people have mentioned, but I have zero problems with having a reminder that I've backed one hell of a project. Not if this is any indication of the quality to follow. Keep up the supremely good work folks, and thank you very much! :)
Creator Rand Chua TL on October 30, 2012
Can u guys make a metal planet from transformer? (Cyberton) :p That no a regular size moon, it's a planet size metal planet.! ^_^
Creator Zetura on October 30, 2012
My 27" iMac is happy, but what about my MacBook Air > 1440x900 ? :D
And hey !? Is that the DeathStar 2.0 ? Will it appear in the next Star Wars from Disney ? (just joking :D)
Creator Matthew P on October 30, 2012
Very nice wallpaper. Thank you. Can't wait for more!
Creator Jsapr3521 on October 30, 2012
The Metal Planet looks kind of like a Death Star.
Creator Keith Rome on October 30, 2012
Any chance of a 5760x1080 version for those of us with triple widescreen rigs? :)
Creator Moleculor on October 30, 2012
Aw, no wallpapers for us Android users. Those "smartphone" versions are just for iPhone. Android wallpapers pan as you swipe. For example, my 1280x720 phone needs a 1280x1440 wallpaper. Or anything that's 8:9, I believe. But hey, desktop versions.
Creator Matt Salmon on October 30, 2012
Is it possible to get 2880 x 1800 added to the list of resolutions for any wallpapers created? (Retina MacBook Pro)
Creator Squark on October 30, 2012
Looks fantastic, keep up the great work
Creator Ravenlight on October 30, 2012
Metal planet looks dope as hell. Coincidentally, my phone has a new wallpaper. Thanks for the plethora of resolutions.
Creator J Smith on October 30, 2012
That's awesome, and kinda appropriate given the Star Wars Episode VII news too
Creator varsovie on October 30, 2012
OMG
They claim to have done it for every definition imaginable, and all people brag about is : Mine isn't there!
P.S. What about my 4k monitor? :D
Creator Supermap on October 30, 2012
my monitor is 1366 x 768... :(
Creator Nathan Friedly on October 30, 2012
@ Giovanni, Philomorph, and anyone else wanting versions with no logo: I cropped the largest photo to get that effect for myself:
http://nfriedly.com/img/not-a-moon-1920x1200.jpg - Uber logo, but no "Planetry Annihilation" text
http://nfriedly.com/img/not-a-moon-1920x1080.jpg - No logos at all
Creator Inquisitioner on October 30, 2012
Why not re-size it yourself to your specified needs?
Creator Chris Phillips on October 30, 2012
How about Android phone sizes. Our backgrounds scroll and can be landscape and portrait so a square shape is better. I have 1 phone and 2 tablets, all are 1200x800.
So a 1200x1200 would be nice :D
Creator DANY FEGHALI on October 30, 2012
Not bad at all
Keep the good work
Creator Bruce Powell on October 30, 2012
That looks awesome, guys! :)
Creator Stephen Bernal on October 30, 2012
Thank you for splitting the wallpaper up individually as well as a giant .zip. It's refreshing not having to download the whole thing.
Creator Chris Bale on October 30, 2012
No love for those of us using 1440 x 900 I see... =(
Creator DHAmoKK on October 30, 2012
Nice Wallpaper.
Oh wow, everyone is so demanding :/ It's really no big deal to resize a higher resolution or cut off some pixels of the upper and lower edge. Paint is all you need and you already have, when you're using Windows ;)
Creator Sinan Midillili on October 30, 2012
Is it possible for you to update a 1200x1920 for us portrait mode users? :)
Creator Monty on October 30, 2012
Metal planet looks brilliant !!
Creator Alexandre Moore on October 30, 2012
Looks awesome, a version without text would be awesome too.
Missing in the 16/9 aspect : 2560x1440 (Dell 27").
For those missing the 1440x900 that is a 16/10 aspect -> use the 2560x1200 or 1920x1200 that will downscale perfectly to your resolution.
In my case (16/9), the 1920x1080 will upscale nicely too, but won't be perfect.
Creator Giovanni on October 30, 2012
Can we please have the metal planet without the text and logo? It's awesome but I don't like text in my desktop wallpaper.
Creator TELunus on October 30, 2012
Whatever happened to my 1440 x 900? I see other people have noticed the issue. Just figured I should add my voice to those of us wanting 1440 x 900.
Creator Matthew Halls on October 30, 2012
If that hole on the top right of the planet isn't a doomsday weapon of some sort I will be sorely disappointed :P
Creator Lauri Jantunen on October 30, 2012
Kindly asking for a dual FHD wallpaper :) (3840x1080)
Creator Philomorph on October 30, 2012
Awesome wallpaper! Is there a chance we could get a version without the text on it though? The logo is fine, as it's unobtrusive. But I like my wallpaper to be cool without needing to be an ad I read every time I look at the screen. I already bought the game :)
Creator John Christmann on October 30, 2012
Seems you have every resolution except 1440x900 :/ Guess I'll resize it myself since Windows does such a terrible job of automatically resizing wallpaper. Looks awesome though.
Creator Alexis Shaw on October 30, 2012
Can I have one in 7680*1440 3*2560*1440 is an awesome setup which needs an awesome wallpaper.
Creator dyrak55d on October 30, 2012
