???????????? What have the devs been working on recently? ????????????
The development team have been hard at work behind the scenes on a variety of exciting aspects of Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life. Matthew Holmes (He/Him), Producer on the game, shares what the focus has been recently:
"Over the past few months, the development team have been hard at work in various aspects of Mars Horizon 2. For the payloads, they have been rebalanced, and animations have been improved.
"A host of changes have been made to how the extra-terrestrial (ET) bases and outposts have been implemented, which will have an impact on how you use them to support your mission. They will be crucial if you’re looking to fully investigate a surface and track down signs of life.
"The ways in which the game communicates your missions, tooltips, and more have been improved. We’re looking to get people onboard as smoothly as possible and have made leaps towards this recently.
"We’ll have more to share with you in the next update for Mars Horizon 2. Thank you for being part of the journey with us so far. We’re so excited to share more with the community going forward!"
