DevLog #64: How NOT to die on Mars: Part 4

[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!

DevLog #63: How NOT to die on Mars: Part 3

[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!

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!

DevLog #62: How NOT to die on Mars: Part 2

[h2]Hello again, Martians![/h2]

How are your preparations? Are you ready to face the harsh life on the Red Planet?

We’ve already told you all about water and how to manage it in your Martian base. It’s time for another lesson on Occupying Mars!

Today, we’ll cover Oxygen! While you’ll arrive on the Red Planet with a few spare bottles, there is only so far you can go with these alone. Learn the basics about watching your Oxygen parameters and using your base to provide you with what you need to survive.

There is a lot to cover, so make yourself comfortable and let’s get started!

You’ve done amazing so far, Martians! Take a little breather and we’ll be back to our training at a later time.

Check the countdown on our official page: occupymarsgame.com
See that? In just 3 days you’ll be going to Mars! Remember this as you’re entering the new week!

We’ll be there on Mars waiting for you. See you soon!

There are only 4 days left until the Early Access release!

The best way to stay up to date with the launch time is to observe the timer on the game’s official page: occupymarsgame.com

That said, we understand that in the heat of preparation for your Mars adventure one might not be able to keep track of time. 😉

That’s why we've prepared this graphic for you, which lists the launch time as it should appear in various corners of the world.



Remember about differences in time zones! In our time (CEST), release time is 6 PM, but this may not necessarily be the case for you.

[h3]Take note of your local release time and see you on Mars on May 10th![/h3]

Kind Regards,
Occupy Mars Team

All it takes is 2 clicks!



The Challenge will last until the very moment the game launches at 6 PM CEST on May 10th.
Remember you can find a countdown timer on the game’s website: occupymarsgame.com
