???????? What the devs been working on this month ????????
August might be a quiet month for some, but here on the Mars Horizon team we have been busily working away adding new features.
Our Research Tree is starting to take shape, this is where you will be able to spend the resources burning a hole in your pocket to upgrade your agency. Through the Research Tree you will be able to access to all our payload types in the build, Flybys, Orbiters, Landers, Rovers and Constructors to support your exploration endeavours! You can then follow these payloads through space after launch via transfer lines in the Solar System as you wait for their arrival with bated breath.
We have been continuing to build adversaries into the game, with unique hazards on the planet surface that you will want to give a very wide berth! Also, a bit of healthy competition with the introduction of AI agencies who will gobble up all your resources and race to find life first.
