27 months ago, we started developing our dream game about terraforming Mars. We are a small indie team of programmers, designers and artists. All passionate about science.
Today is a huge day for the studio. After all this time, after all our hard work, all the blood, sweat and tears we put into Terraformers, we have finally released the very first public Demo on Steam!
Terraformers is a 3X terraforming game in which you explore Mars, exploit its resources and build new cities.
Our goal is to make a real simulation based on scientific studies. We are fortunate to be able to rely on NASA and ESA data to get as close as possible to what the actual colonisation of Mars would look like.
You start the game with a small group of explorers on Mars. You discover new areas, put up buildings to produce energy, food, materials and improve your cities to accommodate more people.
Each new year you have to choose your future projects, where to invest your energy, your time and your resources. The most important value is the well-being of your citizens, so you can expand and improve your cities.
We are very excited that players are finally getting to experience our game. The journey is far from over, as the demo is only a small part of what you will experience in Terraformers. But being able to let you test this latest version is the best reward for us.
Thank you very much for reading. The demo is available from now until June 22nd. And free on Steam. Don't hesitate to give us your feedback!
Edit: as multiple person are requesting it, here is a link to the demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1244800/Terraformers/

Sax's journey from coat full of rats to poet to revolutionary General to legendary leader is such a great journey.

So it's like Fate of the World except you start with the world ruined and try to fix it.

Do Plutonians attack and try and de-terraform the progress you've made?
RzvnC
Game looks really cool! I’ll definitely check out the demo, especially after being disappointed in Per Aspera for not showing the results.

Ooooh sweet! I've been waiting on this game. :D
TheVoicesinMyHeadSingShowtunes
I’ll go check it out. It looks interesting.
Escape2Fantasy
People imagine terraforming is building factories producing things, in reality, it's all about yeeting comets at it.
SpaceForGold
There’s some really polished looking things in these gifs. Well done. (Also a dev). Will check it out.
UncleRat
So what will Nevada look like after the terraforming?

@OP I just downloaded. I'll leave feedback on your steam page.

I'm in! Love games like this
superpaul79
I'm no scientist, but I don't think terraforming Mars is feasible on account of the planet being geologically dead.
TyrannosaursInF14s
Yes, a magnetic field would be nice. In that sense, Venus seems more feasible candidate to some.
TyrannosaursInF14s
Ah shoot, Venus hasn’t got a magnetosphere either! I forgot. :(

This looks an awful lot like the board game "Terraforming Mars"
mrlemonofbanana
So long as I can just chuck asteroids at the surface for fun and profit I don't mind.

It's gorgeous but I hate when people use ingur as free advert even if they are proud of their good work
monkeyboy396
I don't mind, but I downvote the hell out of the new accounts obviously created just to upvote and comment on it.

i dont want imgur to be only political. and indie games are ok in my view.

Imgur corporate: How can we make money? Should we charge people to run ads? No? Let's just try to sell them emerald instead.

I'd been excited for this, but the demo disappointed. I was expecting a lot more actual terraforming, not abstract Cities: Skylines.
goblinzs
It will arrive on the next versions ;)
Secretbancaire
I played the demo and liked it! Good job guys
AlexisGea
Thanks. That means a lot :)
Chickenlicker
I gave the tutorial a go and I think it needs some more work. It doesn't really explain the user interface or options, the objective or the
Chickenlicker
choices. It also doesn't say anything about the consequences of each choice. I couldn't get back to various screens and ended up clicking
Chickenlicker
random buttons trying to get back to where I was, or go forward, and then stumbled on a "turn" button which also didn't really explain its
Chickenlicker
purpose. For people new to the game, the tutorial doesn't actually explain how to play the game.

Oooooh your right. Gotcha.

The Finnish word for them is "änkyrä". Basically they'll oppose anything, try to find negative things about everything. Often conservative >

since that'll let them be against anything and everybody.

I love languages that have very specific terms for things we all feel. Like Kuchi zamishi 1/2

I believe the Germans have a word for missing a place you've never been to. Fernweh.

Fair. Although I don't get the point. Do comments grant visibility to the post? What do they gain?
monkeyboy396
Honestly don't know, I guess so? It creates interest, people look at it and go "oh hey see the demo is good blah blah," it's all marketing.
