Hello everyone, Today we give you our first update for Race To Mars. There is still a lot of work in front of us but the first month we devoted to learn and understand the complexity of technical side of RTM, sort out the game’s code and plan future fixes was very fruitful. The update we share with you today does not solve all the game’s issues but is a good base for future updates and was worth the time we spent on sorting things out. After studying the code in detail we are confident to say that future updates will be available once a week. We figured that small but frequent updates will better serve fixing the game rather than two or three major ones that would keep you waiting. We are counting on your support during the process. That is why as of today there will be two additional threads on our Steam forum where you can post your ideas and suggestions for fixes and adjustments. The bugs you report directly to us will have our top priority. Old threads shall be closed to keep our communication clear and sorted. Today’s update: - Fixes performance issues on some machines - Fixes a bug connected with time display during research - Fixes a bug that caused upgraded elements from being available for production - Fixes an issue with zooming on buildings - Fixes some spelling and text messages We hope that it’s a good step in regaining your trust. Best, OML Team

Race To Mars is a turn-based, space company simulation game. Become the head of the newly established “New Space” company whose goal would be to establish a colony on Mars. You begin as a startup - develop cutting edge aerospace technologies and use them to achieve orbit and fly beyond Earth vicinity, blazing the trail of a space pioneer and leaving the competition far behind on your way to victory.

Our game will achieve two goals - promote the outer space industry and satisfy all economy game fans. Race To Mars combines the realism of a spaceport management sim and approachable gameplay - we assure you that both subject aficionados and casual gamers will find this mixture most entertaining. Our priority is to make an approachable game without compromising its key economical and strategical features - says Szymon Janus, the CEO of INTERMARUM.

Since we aim to deliver the best quality, we're developing the game in close cooperation with scientists from a Polish space industry company, Kosmonauta.net; and we're using Unity, the leading multiplatform game engine, thanks to this we'll be able to deliver top quality content.
