Happy Surviving Mars Day

[PaulMClem]

May your colonists be fertile and your breakthroughs plentiful. Touch down on the red planet is scheduled for 18:00 (cet). Strap in tight and enjoy the ride. Mission control out.

 

[Turin the Mad]

Roger that. May all your meteors be comprised of worthwhile materials - and they do not wreck your colony at the worst moment.

Damn, I planned my day around 15:00, like the other PDX titles.

Yep, this seems to be slated for a later release than normal.

I'm interested to see what this game will bring. I have enjoyed Cities: Skylines and the Martian theme does appeal. Is it me or is there little buzz around this one?

 

[Blizzard_Haemimont]

Cheers, all! Counting the minutes until release. Let's tame the red planet together!

From my experience, non-PDX games i.e. games published, not developed by PDX tend to have relatively quiet forums. However, I think this one has been fairly active. Allied to the number of YouTube Let's Plays I'd personally say the buzz has been quite significant. I'd expect there to be other forums dedicated to the game, such as one at Reddit and the likes.

Alas i have to wait till i can get some steam $$$ on launch day before i can "science the **** out of everything on the red planet". kinda wish i could become a pirate, botanist while i'm at it.

I would agree, there’s been quite a bit of buzz around this title. I guess the marketing worked as I wasn’t planning on buying but after watching several let’s plays i’ve Got it pre-ordered and am ready to dig in this evening after work.

May your circuits be sure and your water sources pure.

Did anyone notice the release date is the Ides of March?

Happy the release day is here but damn I hate the last few hours wait, just want to jump in and get going, my wife bought this for as an early bday gift and I'm off work for a week and just want to get stuck in, especially Friday and Saturday when we see how it stands up to an alcohol fuelled assault, I expect I will learn more when I'm drunk about what not to do than at any other time.

Can't wait though, hope it all goes well and Paradox have another long term hit on their hands.

Yes. Couldn't figure out how to work a stabbing reference in, however. Now had it been a ck2 expansion, it would've been easy.

Don't worry, I'm sure someone will mod in psychopath colonists soon enough. Not sure what purpose security building will have otherwise.

So excited to start playing.

Decided to call the first colonist that steps off my first rocket "Matt Dome-man" (because The Martian)
