- Occupy Mars: The Game Kickstarter Campaign is now live! - 17 January 2023
Greetings, Fossil Hunters! We’re excited to announce that we’re launching a Kickstarter campaign for Occupy Mars: The Game! Occupy Mars: The Game is a highly technical survival game about Mars colonization. As an astronaut who has just landed on the Red Planet, your task is to build and expand your base and survive in the harsh environment that is unlike the one on Earth. The game has been in development since 2017 and we’re finally nearing its completion! While Occupy Mars: The Game is almost ready for Early Access release, another challenge lies ahead – pre-release promotion. We have to make sure our voice is heard and the game makes its way to players, which is difficult for our still relatively small team.
