Following on from our last update, which covered rocket launches, models for outposts, and UI/UX improvements, our development team have some new updates to share. Here’s Producer on the project, Matthew Holmes (He/Him), to explain more:

“The team have been hard at work in a variety of areas of Mars Horizon 2. We’re delighted with the progress we've made and can’t wait for you to see it all come together.

We have been implementing new ways for the player to follow directions, and we’ve also been improving the game’s controller support.

In addition to these developments, we’ve also been looking at missions and how these evolve for the player. We want to give you some clues here and there for where life may lie, but we want you to discover it for yourself!”

🎮 Playtests Exploring Mars 🎮

Every month, Bristol Indie Developers holds Playtest Party - an opportunity for local game developers to share their game with the public and get valuable feedback.

We couldn't pass up on this opportunity and last month we took along Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life for an evening of playtesting and pizza and got so much incredible feedback!

If you like the sound of Playtest Party, it takes place on the first Thursday of each month at Martian Lawyers Club. The next session is on August 7th and maybe we'll see you there?

What's been happening recently in the space news? Well, let's take a look!

🚀 Vega-C successfully makes it to orbit - Five satellites onboard will map Earth in 3D and monitor carbon dioxide from space.
🧑🏻‍🚀 First astronaut with a disability prepares for mission to space - John McFall is set to become the first astronaut with a disability to visit the International Space Station after more than a year of intensive training.
🤯 Life may have come from outer space - The seeds of life on Earth might have come from outer space – and might be widespread throughout the rest of the universe, scientist say.
