We're super excited (and a little nervous) to hear what you think of the game. We're now in the final stretch of development before Early Access launch, so will be making lots of changes based on your feedback/suggestions for the demo. Come and chat to us on Discord if you have some ideas that you'd like to see implemented.

If you enjoy the demo, please please please LEAVE A REVIEW as it's super helpful in boosting exposure for the game.

Thanks for all of the support, and looking forward to hearing what you think!

Love,

Outlier

We're delighted to finally reveal Outlier's next game, Mars Attracts!

Mars Attracts is a theme park management sim set in the iconic universe of Mars Attacks™ .

Build rides, hire and train staff, manage guest needs, and most importantly - abduct humans to serve as the star attractions! Craft the perfect park to appeal to your Martian guests, but don’t forget to keep your humans’ needs met too - the hideous enclosed-brained Earthlings can be prone to escape!



Check out the Announcement Trailer:

The time has come! Following just over a year in Early Access, This Means Warp 1.0 is ready and waiting for you to jump in!

Thanks for all of your support, feedback, and suggestions during Early Access! The game has come on a huge amount and we're delighted to deliver the full vision of This Means Warp, which will also be coming to Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch later this year! We'd love to hear what you think of the 1.0 update, so if you haven't already come and say hello on Discord!


[h2]Visual Overhaul[/h2]
After months of work we can finally reveal This Means Warp's brand new look! The user interface across the entire game has been completely redesigned, including new menu flows, graphics, animations, and effects.



[h2]Battery Ship[/h2]
This Means Warp is also launching with a brand new player ship! In addition to different visuals and an updated layout, the new ship also features auto-reloading guns powered by a unique power generator system. You'll need to carefully manage power across each of the ship's three sectors, and can overcharge a sector to give a temporary boost to all of the systems in that sector!



[h2]New Scenarios[/h2]
Test your skills with four more unlockable scenarios, each tailored to push the limits of the new ship. The new scenarios also come with unique ship tints so you can personalize your ship with an even broader array of color options.

[h2]Additional Languages[/h2]
This Means Warp is now available in more languages, with French and Brazilian Portuguese added to the existing list (English, German, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese).


And of course these build upon the multitude of features that have been added throughout Early Access:

• New Scenario game modes to experiment with different playstyles
  
• Lots of updates to crew AI, including granular control, crew levelling up, more intelligent decision making, and more
  
• Dozens of new missions, enemies, and weapons
  
• A totally revamped ship mod system

• More variation in map modifiers, upgrades, ship mods, dialogue options, etc
  
• Unlockable character cosmetics
  
• Quality of life improvements like inspecting an installed system, shop rerolling, skipping cutscenes, etc
  
• ...and lots more!
