Hey, future colonists! That’s right—after years of turning NASA imagery into a living, breathing (well… eventually breathing) sandbox, we’re finally ready to throw open the airlock and invite you onto the Red Planet. [h3]Countdown to Steam Next Fest[/h3] Before release day, you’ll get hands‑on time during Steam Next Fest in early June. We’re polishing up a free demo so you can kick‑up Martian dust, patch your first habitat, and decide whether a sandstorm is “scenic” or “terrifying.” Let us know which! [h3]What Awaits You on Mars[/h3] • Authentic Mars Survival: Every dune, crater, and dust devil is pulled from real NASA imagery. If the planet can kill you in real life, it probably can here too. • Solo or Co‑op: Brave it alone or team up online. Good friends bring extra oxygen tanks. • Deep Open‑World Exploration: Roam a massive map, track down relics of earlier missions, and salvage from busted colonies. • Intricate Crafting & Base Building: Snap‑together modules, createl power grids, and build everything from food synthesizers to aquariums. • Resource Management: Oxygen, nutrition, health, minerals and energy levels. Keep them balanced or pay the price. • Terraforming Piece by Piece: Long‑term players will start nudging that barren atmosphere toward something slightly more hospitable. (During Early Access) • Dynamic Hazards: Sandstorms, radiation spikes, lurking subsurface surprises… Mars keeps you humble.

You touchdown with a few crates, you multitool and the mandate to kick‑start humanity’s second home. Build a habitat, string solar panels into a reliable grid, then scavenge wrecks for parts. All the while you’re watching life‑support readouts tick down in real time. The margin for error? Pretty much as thin as the Martian atmosphere. [h3]How You Can Help Right Now[/h3] Wishlist Horizon Journey – it really does boost our signal through the Steam nebula. Follow us on X (@HorizonJourney) [h3]Next Transmission[/h3] In the coming weeks we’ll dive into how systems in the game works, vehicles, gadgets etc. and hopefully increase your survivability on the red planet. Thanks for sticking with us on this interplanetary journey. See you during Next Fest—and remember: keep one eye on the oxygen gauge and the other on the horizon. With love (and lots of red dust), The Horizon Journey Dev Team 🛠️
