How to succeed in colonizing Mars? The answer is getting enough sleep!

Building a prosperous Martian colony requires lots of energy. When you are tired, you need to go to sleep. It will increase your stamina to the maximum level, so you’ll be strong enough to overcome any difficulties and occupy Mars.

Red Planet has no mercy for people who don't take care of themselves. Good colonists know why sleep is so crucial. Apart from avoiding sleep deprivation and general tiredness, keeping regular bedtime is a great way to get through the Martian nights, when temperatures are critically low.



Of course, you need a bed to get proper rest. Beds can be built in a hab and living capsules. But what if you are on an exploration trip, far away from your base? Don't worry, your Heavy Rover also has a fully functioning bed!



If you have any questions or just want to know more about the game, feel free to join our Discord channel!

Dear Martians!

Thank you for overwhelmingly positive feedback on our recently published Occupy Mars — Cinematic Trailer! We've put our hearts and minds into every scene to show you what the game is about in the most inspiring way we could. We are very happy that you like it! :)

As some of you know - we are a small team of people who dream about colonizing The Red Planet. While working on this game for the last 3 years we've learnt a lot, not only about game development but also about space exploration and Mars itself. Every day we find new important things which we'd like to add to the game.

Given your amazing feedback on the trailer and your active support on Discord, YouTube, Facebook and our other social media, we feel the responsibility to give you more information about current development status and our plans.

Together with our publisher we've made a decision that the game will be launched as an "Early Access" game first. This will allow us to expand the game after the initial release and adjust it to your suggestions.

The Early Access release will feature a detailed single-player campaign / story mode, which will already give you long hours of gameplay. Additional game modes will come to the game later in the form of updates. We've decided to focus on polishing core functionalities first, and adding some of the stuff we've already shown in DevLogs later, to make sure they are thoroughly tested. We also want to add a 3D model importer which will turn the game into real moddable sandbox which will grow based on your feedback.

After careful analysis we determined that our hopes to release in December had been too optimistic, but we are finally at the stage where we think we can set a release date! The game is currently planned to launch as an "Early Access" game on March 2020.

This date is our internal goal which we intend to keep. Please keep in mind however that it will be the first such big game released by our studio. Open world sandboxes require tremendous amounts of playtesting which are hard to estimate and may result in some delays. Our experience with releasing a smaller game Rover Mechanic Simulator taught us that the exact day of the release depends on many factors & variables which are hard to predict, so we want to be as clear as possible about the release date.

We aim for March 2020, but we will update the final date on steam after the final testing is finished. The development of Occupy Mars is a world where two of the most difficult fields of knowledge collide: game development and rocket science - both of which give best results when they are not rushed.

Let the final development stage begin!
