Mars Horizon News

2020’s Mars Horizon was a space flight management game where you were in charge of constructing bases, building rockets, and leading missions into the black abyss. Nate (RPS in peace) liked it quite a bit for its “masterfully crafted strategic dilemmas,” despite his findom relationship with the game. Now Mars Horizon is getting an expanded sequel, taking us to the outer reaches of the Solar System. Mars Horizon 2: The Search For Life is releasing sometime in 2024 on PC.

[h2]This is a general survey about modding and is not tied to any of our current titles. [/h2]
Hi everyone 😁

We are always impressed by our community and the amazing creations you make with our games. Your feedback in discord, twitter, forums and emails all help us make our games better and we thank you for this.

[h3]So with that, we would love to hear from you once more! [/h3]

We are running a survey that could impact the future of our games. The survey is on modding and we are looking for a wide variety of people to take part. It doesn’t matter if you have no experience with mods or create them daily, all information is greatly appreciated. 🙏🏾

Filling in these surveys help us so much, and they only take about five minutes of your time. And to say thank you, we will be gifting £25 worth of Steam vouchers to one lucky entrant of this survey. Entries close Wednesday 27th 2022! 📅

Simfest Hobby Edition 28th March - 4th April 2022 is a joint Steam & Auroch Digital event. It is a Steam festival celebrating simulation games, giving the genre opportunity to showcase all it has to offer. As there are so many games within the sim genre, the first Simfest will be the “Hobby Sim Edition”. A Hobby Sim is a simulation game that authentically simulates a hobby or job (or both!).

At Auroch Digital we've lined up a range of excellent streams and panels from games and studios doing interesting things in the simulation game space.

We are also sharing our own experience of making a job simulation game with Mars Horizon, check out the panel we are taking part in below. The panel is being looped multiple times during a 24 hour period in order to cater to different time zones. Make sure to check the schedule to find exact showing times.

[h2]🏗 Panel: What is a hobby Sim and why do people play them? 🏗[/h2]

• Date 3rd - 4th April between 6pm - 6pm UK time
• From the teams working on popular hobby and job simulation games to find out how they made the games, find out how they capture that hobby or job. Where does realism belong in this genre of games? Is it more important to simulate a hobby or job accurately, or does an idealised version suit gaming better? Find out where the line between realism and idealisation is drawn in some of your favourite hobby and job sims!
