???????? What have the devs been working on this month? ????????
"We hope everyone is enjoying Halloween ???? the team are still working hard on Mars Horizon 2: The Search for life and feeling very excited about how the game is developing!
"The spooky season has avoided giving any of the Mars Horizon team a fright.
"We have made some changes to the turn flow to allow players to return to the solar system view at the end of the turn. This coupled with improvements to the solar system UI allows players to use the solar system as their strategic view.
"In the solar system it is now possible to review the danger levels on different planets alongside the resources they possess. As a player, you can more accurately plan your next move and narrow down where you would like to explore in your search for life."
- Matt Holmes, Producer for Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life
Speaking of Halloween... ????
Here's a pumpkin one of our team made for Halloween to celebrate the launch of Mars Horizon 1! Check out the tweet for the full video including a surprise.
???? Get Cozy on Mars ????
The Steam Festival, Cozy Quest, takes place from 14th November through the 18th and both Mars Horizon titles will be part of it. The event, hosted by our friends and publishers of both Mars Horizon titles, Secret Mode, highlights a wide variety of relaxing and feel-good titles.
Mars Horizon will be discounted during Cozy Quest, while Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life will be part of the Coming Soon section.
Be sure to check it out once it's live on Steam on the 14th of November!
???? Reach for the Mars ????
Over on the Mars Horizon Subreddit, there's a different type of Space Race currently taking place. Reddit user SpareAnywhere8364 has been attempting to do what they can to land on Mars pre-1980 in Mars Horizon and they recently accomplished this great feat! ????
What's even greater than this is that their crusade continues as they aim to do it even earlier! They've been sharing their progress along the way and, at the time of writing this newsletter, they've just reached Mars in 1977! ????
A huge well done to them on this feat and we look forward to checking your progress from here.
