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/

Do Plutonians attack and try and de-terraform the progress you've made?

Game looks really cool! I’ll definitely check out the demo, especially after being disappointed in Per Aspera for not showing the results.

People imagine terraforming is building factories producing things, in reality, it's all about yeeting comets at it.

There’s some really polished looking things in these gifs. Well done. (Also a dev). Will check it out.

Tell yar programmers to use ++i instead of i++ in these for loops here, they'll run a bit faster.

I'm no scientist, but I don't think terraforming Mars is feasible on account of the planet being geologically dead.

5 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 3

Yes, a magnetic field would be nice. In that sense, Venus seems more feasible candidate to some.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Ah shoot, Venus hasn’t got a magnetosphere either! I forgot. :(

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.

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

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

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

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

purpose. For people new to the game, the tutorial doesn't actually explain how to play the game.

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

Fair. Although I don't get the point. Do comments grant visibility to the post? What do they gain?

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

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.
