Revision 1

Overview

Neighbors are the anthropomorphic animal characters who populate the world of Petit Planet. Each Neighbor has a distinct personality, profession, and backstory. Players befriend Neighbors through conversation, gift-giving, and completing tasks for them. Building relationships with Neighbors is one of the main sources of Luca and a core part of the daily gameplay loop.

Confirmed Neighbors

Relationship system

Each Neighbor has a friendship meter that increases through regular interaction. Talking to a Neighbor, giving them gifts they like, and completing their requests all raise the friendship level. Higher friendship levels unlock new dialogue, special events, and bonus Luca generation.

Gift system

Neighbors have preferences for specific items. Giving a Neighbor a gift they love produces a large friendship boost, while a disliked gift may result in no gain or a minor setback. Learning each Neighbor's preferences through dialogue clues and experimentation is part of the social gameplay.

Professions

Each Neighbor has a profession that reflects their personality and gameplay role. Some professions relate directly to player activities. For example, Yunguo is a cultivator who provides farming guidance, and Glenn runs a shop where players can buy items. Others have more narrative or social roles, like Mors curating the Omni-Gallery museum.

Finding new Neighbors

Not all Neighbors are present from the start. Some are discovered through Starsea Voyage exploration, appearing on distant islets. Others may arrive on the player's planet as it develops and its Luca level rises. The game encourages exploration and progression to meet the full cast.
