Be an Alien: Renewal

Be an Alien: Renewal is a creative alien roleplay and open-world sandbox game on Roblox by solo developer PeZsmistic, originally launched in 2016 and actively updated into 2026 as the "Renewal" overhaul. Players morph into one of many custom alien creatures - snake-like, bird-like, lizard-like, dinosaur-like, and stranger forms - then explore the alien planet Kiray in the Skyris system, fight other creatures, build structures, and roleplay with up to 34 other players per server. With 52.5M+ visits over a decade and continuous development now past v1005, it has one of the longest-lived creative roleplay communities on Roblox.

The game is defined by its alien biology system and the breadth of activities available on Kiray:

• 🗺️ Exploration - 17+ distinct biomes spanning forests, swamps, caverns, ocean trenches, and volcanic zones
• 🏠 Building - F3X tool-based construction in designated areas; permission system restricts builds to keep the world clean
• ⚔️ Combat - creature vs. creature PvP with a revised combat system and new sound effects added in v1005
• 🎭 Customization - alien colors, patterns, additions, and names via the full customization system (added v771)
• 🎭 Roleplay - the social core; players interact in character as their chosen alien species

The Alpha track runs separately from the main game and tests new features including the Jiqii, a moth-like alien available to players who check out the beta. The experimental Needs system (hunger and thirst, added v1005) adds survival depth to the roleplay layer. PeZsmistic is a solo long-standing verified developer whose active update cadence - the game reached v1005 by June 2024 - reflects genuine ongoing commitment.

The game is in beta, meaning data resets can occur. Players are advised to follow the developer's social channels or the community Discord server for advance warnings of any resets.
