It's truly indescribable how amazing it feels to finally reach this day of launch after years of hard work! This incredible journey began more than 10 years ago when we conceived the idea for this game during our time at university.

The development of the game itself started in 2017, and now we have reached the significant milestone of Early Access Launch. Our dream game has reached a point where we are thrilled to share it with you!

This is just the beginning of a much longer journey, as we have an ambitious roadmap ahead of us.

[h3]But for now, let's focus on playing![/h3]
For those diving right into the game - please keep in mind that the following known issues in the current build v0.119.1:
- loading abandoned bases - procedural outposts can sometimes relocate after loading the game
- saving the game when rover is on crusher can in some cases block rover
- ATV sometimes doesn't spawn next to the abandoned base but further away
- tornado/dust devils can pull the player from abandoned base and throw away with high speed
- repairing boards one after another can block workbench
- soldering tool and hotair tool can disappear from workbench
- player can die when building rover and standing too close to the ghost
- cables can hang in the air and block interactions
- tutorial 6 can be blocked if player replants tree seedlings to crate before receiving instruction to do so
- there may be gaps in the terrain at the borders of the map squares
- There may be FPS drops while riding ATV/ROVER
- loot may spawn under the terrain or inside walls/floors
- player can be able to equip 2 tools at once and block interactions
- weather effects may last after the icon on hud disappears
- ATV crates content is not saved
- saving game manually when there is space sign at the end of save's name blocks saving the game
- after longer gameplay random textures may be spawn on random models or not spawn at all

Minor or less frequent issues and edge cases:
- the surface of frozen lake can spawn over the ground
- there are several rare issues which can randomly block saving the game
- ghost of rover can be built only in specific places
- saving the game after placing ghost of workbench but before building it may be impossible
- leaving the base while printer works freezes printer indefinitely.
- aiming while using jackhammer&grinder can be sometimes difficult
- upgrading jackhammer to level 3 without unlocked technology is possible but can break the game
- player can duplicate boards on workbench but doing so can block facility.
- boards may have full HP while having broken parts on workbench
- saving and loading the game after upgrading tool but before taking it from workbench duplicates the tool but can break the game
- FPP camera while driving on ATV can go inside players head on some angles
- charging suit from battery/transformer may sometimes not work
- tipper dislodged from trailer by meteor can be impossible to reattach
- after loading save from campaign, there are pipes and cables in ambulatory
- some sounds may not be properly adjusted

We are focusing on solving all of those issues as well as adding more content.
We are planning regular updates. Next one will be live tomorrow, and the next the day after tomorrow... ːsteamhappyː

[h2]Hello, Martians![/h2]

We’re only 1 day away from the Early Access release of Occupy Mars: The Game!

The time to occupy Mars is drawing near and there are still so many things to tell you before you depart!

Today, we’d like to give you some tips on survival. On the Red Planet, you may find yourself in extremely dangerous situations. At these times, you have to think and act quickly. That’s why we’d like to tell you about some of such scenarios:

Keep these tips in mind when you place your first steps on Mars on May 10th. These may be lifesavers!

P.S. If you’re already itching for some Mars survival, you can already play Occupy Mars: Colony Builder, which is available on iOS and Android devices.

See you tomorrow!

[h2]Hello, Martians![/h2]

[h3]We hope you had a good weekend![/h3]

We know it’s not easy to start the week anew, but with Saturday and Sunday past us, we find ourselves only 2 days away from the Early Access release of Occupy Mars: The Game!

That’s why today we’d like to resume our lessons on survival on Mars. During the last one, we covered Oxygen. Today, we’d like to focus on a related topic – CO2 Scrubber and Sabatier upgrade!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Water, Oxygen and CO2 management are some of the most urgent matters you have to attend to once you arrive on Mars, so we hope that these videos will help you feel more confident about your upcoming trip.

[h3]Get plenty of rest and May 10th will come in no time at all![/h3]

See you soon!
