We have some exciting new to share: Mars First Logistics will be coming to Steam Early Access on 22 June 2023. That's just 2 weeks away!
We’ve really loved working on this game and we’re excited to keep working on it and continuing this journey with the community (after a short, but well-deserved holiday).
Please note that we’ve taken down the demo in preparation for the launch. Apologies if you were still playing it, but it’s not a long wait now for the full game!
Day of the Devs
Day of the Devs Summer Game Fest is almost here and we'll be in it with some new footage! We'll also be making an exciting announcement, so tune in Thursday 8 June at 2pm PDT!
I'll be playing a work-in-progress build of the game and showing off some of the new things we've been working on. I'll keep an eye on the chat, so if you have questions or comments post them there!
Developer Q&A + building your ideas
I'll be doing a Q&A stream from 3pm AEST for 1 hour. If you have any questions you'd like me to talk about, please post them as a comment here or in the game's official discord beforehand: https://discord.gg/tttamKbsNp.
I'm also planning to do some building while I talk, so if you have ideas for ridiculous contraptions you'd like me to attempt to make, post them here too!
I'll loop the recording for a few days after in case you can't catch it live.
Demo out now!
I've just released a free demo for Mars First Logistics! The demo consists of 5 deliveries and grants you access to a limited selection of parts, but it should give you a taste of what the full game is like.
I hope you enjoy it and please let me know what you think either on the Steam forums or in the official Shape Shop Discord server: https://discord.gg/tttamKbsNp
Discord server launched
I've set up a Discord server for asking me stuff about the game, making suggestions, reporting bugs, etc!
There's even a channel and guide for sharing your vehicle builds for when the game's playable (it's not out yet, but expect some news very soon!)
As part of the Melbourne International Games Week Steam event, I'll be premiering some new gameplay footage from a recent build of the game!
The game is still quite early in development, but this footage should give you some idea of what to expect. It's prerecorded, but I'll be monitoring the chat, so if you have any questions feel free to post them there and I'll do my best to answer.
Developer live-stream and chat
Hi,
I'll be streaming an early build of Mars First Logistics as part of the Melbourne International Games Week Steam event!
Watch me build some rovers, make some deliveries and answer all your questions about the game.
Hope to see you there!
Ian.
P.S. I rescheduled this event from 3pm to 2pm to avoid a conflict with another stream!
Mars First Logistics selected for PAX Indie Showcase
I'm happy to announce that Mars First Logistics has been selected for the PAX Australia Indie Showcase!
I'm sad that I won't be showing the game in person, since the event is completely online this year, but there will be some opportunities to see more of the game and hear me talk about it during the event, between 8 and 10 October.
Check out all the other winners here and follow PAX Australia on twitter for further announcements.
