It's been a busy few months for the development team as they have been working on the Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life - Test Mission demo, which launched at the end of September. To give you an update on the game's development, here is Producer, Matthew Holmes (He/Him):
"All of the development team would like to thank everyone who has played the demo so far! A lot of work went into making it and we're glad to see people playing the build and sharing their thoughts on it.
"Speaking of which, we are currently going through the demo feedback shared across our social platforms and Steam, in addition to the Feedback Survey which was recently published. Please share your thoughts on the demo if you haven’t already.
“We're excited for the future of Mars Horizon 2 and can't wait to bring you along on the search for life!"
🚀 Experience Mars Horizon 2 Now! 🚀
In case you missed our last update from September, we released Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life - Test Mission, which is a demo you can play right now! Players take on the role of a space agency Director and lead a test mission to search the surface of Mars. Deploy research rovers, construct rockets, and build a vast network of infrastructure to make your mark on the Red Planet.
If you have already played the demo, we would love to hear what you think via a Steam review on the demo's Steam page and the feedback survey, which we have more on in the next section...
📝 Demo Feedback Survey 📝
Shortly after we released the Mars Horizon 2 - Test Mission, we also published a feedback survey to see what you thought of various areas of the demo. If you have yet to fill it in, we would greatly appreciate your thoughts. It should only take around 10 minutes to complete.
One lucky person who provides us with feedback AND enters our giveaway at the end of the survey will win £25 worth of Steam vouchers. Entries close on 7th November.
