ABOUT THIS GAME
Occupy Mars is a highly technical, open-world sandbox game about Mars colonization inspired by the most promising technologies and companies that are working toward becoming a multi-planet species. Build and upgrade your base, discover new amazing regions, conduct mining operations, retrieve water, generate oxygen, grow crops, fix broken parts, and learn how to survive on Mars!
Have you ever dreamt about visiting Mars? We always do! There are so many things to see and discover on the red planet, so many exciting technologies to be created, and so many challenges to overcome! If humanity can do this, we can become a multi-planet civilization!
Build and upgrade your base. Make sure that there is enough water, oxygen, power, and food to survive.
Build greenhouses, oxygen tanks, fuel generators, connect all the pipes and cables, and remember about proper cable management. Grow your own food.
Fix broken parts using realistic electronic components and tools. Learn the basics soldering, using hot air, electronic measurement tools, and all the details necessary to fix your equipment.
Explore different regions of Mars while searching for valuable resources, discover mining sites, and find the best place to build a city.
Remember that you need to find a relatively leveled area with good access to underground water in a place where temperatures don’t drop too much during the night.
Experience an open-world sandbox game with a realistic day/night cycle and overcome real challenges that colonists face. Build solar arrays and batteries for energy storage, upgrade them, and find the optimal way to power your colony.
Upgrade your vehicles and equipment in your garage. Organize your workshop and modify your rover. Change crane hydraulics, operate the robotic arm, dig for valuable resources, build mining rigs, and more…
Occupying Mars is not always easy. Sometimes things will explode, break or not go exactly as planned. Learn to cope with “Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly.” Sometimes you have to really act quickly before you run out of air, food, or energy.
…but most importantly HAVE FUN on Mars!

Blight
Blight is an extremely challenging and realistic single-player top-down perspective survival game.
The Blight
A mysterious new disease called the Blight has descended upon the land. You have managed to escape its devastating effects as it has consumed your village and left it to ruins - You now find yourself alone in the wilderness, tired and hungry. You’ve bought yourself some time, but for how long? The Blight grows larger every day, consuming everything in sight…
Realism
The game strives on providing a punishingly realistic and immersive experience with a ton of depth. Actions like chopping trees and cooking food take a lot of precious time. You can only carry a few things at a time. You need to boil water to make sure it’s safe to drink. Water and other liquids need to be carried in bowls and other containers, and will spill out if not transported securely. You will need to scavenge numerous raw materials, many of which will need to be processed, combined, treated or hardened to make tools, items and structures.
Challenge
The Blight is just one of many threats to your existence in the unforgiving wilderness. After quickly setting up camp you will constantly need to keep yourself well fed and hydrated, replenish lost energy with sleep and short rests, defend yourself from the wild beasts that still inhabit the woods, heal your wounds, protect yourself from the harsh elements, and figure out a way to somehow end this terrible disease. Almost everything in the procedurally generated world can and will kill you if you aren’t careful.
There are whispers of Druids in a far off land that may know more about the Blight…

Nice game, I think it can be improved. I advise.

Too many things are missing at the moment.Took weeks for patch that lets you open the chests and that still doesn’t work properly.Audio drives you mad so you can either have music and sounds or complete silence.Needs a lot of work and commitment putting into it but I don’t think the Dev is bothered.

RECOG The First Wave
Well, I took the time and actually watched the first 20 lessons and practiced the basic foundations of setting my industry and assemble basic military drones and research and development. Now its getting a little more advanced. i’m realizing now theirs so much more I can do. I’ve only scratched the surface. I will leave a more detailed review once i have a full understanding of the game.
I definitely recommend it.

LAVA. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. CAVES. RESOURCES. INDUSTRY.
VERY IMPRESSED! Games like this make me really hate having a job because it takes time to play.
In the months I’ve owned this game, it has undergone MASSIVE changes based entirely on user feedback. I would hardly recognize the earlier release. The U/I feels pretty comfortable now, so the reviews about the 8 view angles/fixed incline are obsolete. There is an odd quirk with the engine that makes it hard to click buttons sometimes. Also building stuff in the early game now requires significantly less clicking than some reviews suggest. The object is actually to automate, but similar to games like Factoro/fortresscraft you have to do a little manual labor at first. The units taking damage going through debris is just a part of the game… you have to actually remove debris as you dig otherwise it’ll pile up and kill your digger. There is an editor now that lets you experiment with the building components—this is critical.

Starsand
BEFORE you rage quit - please read.
I have put some time in on the game and have to say that it would be an excellent addition to an anger management course. The dynamic with the bugs is very frustrating and it can seem like the developer is trying to troll you. It begins to feel like a “groundhog day” endless restart of your life to do things exactly right. More of a puzzle that you only get to figure out the next piece by dying. Over and over and…..over. For those who go in thinking it will be a sandy and hot version of The Long Dark there will be angst at first.

The game has potential, that’s why I kept playing, but there are way too many things wrong with it as it is right now.
It crashes Firefox. Every single time. I literally cannot have Firefox open at the same time as Starsand.
The centipedes are the most annoying mobs I’ve seen in any game, and they completely ruin it for me. No matter how many of them I kill they are always back the next day. I can’t even find myself on the map most times, how can THEY find me again THAT fast?
Their bodies also despawn very fast, so you can easily find yourself with no loot at the end of a tough fight. The bodies despawn on load too, so if you killed 3 of them, saved and then got killed by the last one you’ll notice the ones you killed disappeared.

The Rule of Land: Pioneers
it’s aight, pretty addictive.
needs a light polish, some spelling checking
on screen text gets a bit annoying after some time
“Press [esc] to cancel this operation”
“No Bullets”
I hate having to press M1 for every action,
Mining 40 rock is tedious.
loses difficulty fast.
I gets very boring after all other survivors are dead.
Getting to 200 days is mostly a chore
edit:
4-11-2020
I just found the “continues mining” option. the game is much better now.

This ended up being a lot more fun than I figured.
I was worried that having the game play limited to just a few locations would make it repetitive but it actually wasn’t.
The only thing I disliked was that the HUD wasn’t explained very well but it is a brand new game so take it with a grain of salt.
Overall I found it to be a medium paced game that was thoroughly enjoyable. I look forward to watching it develop more over time.

Arid
Arid is a completely free student project created by potential graduates of the Breda University of Applied Sciences located in the Netherlands. There they cater to international students offering both bachelor and masters degrees in both media and game technology. Priding their expertise in the Houdini Engine for Unity among other things. Their focus is on creating AAA games and some students manage to progress even further eventually working for companies such as Ubisoft and Guerrilla.
Arid is a ‘unrealistic’ desert survival game. I say unrealistic because you literally starve, drink and need shut eye constantly even on the easiest of settings. The survival reminders are relentless and before long you’ll be praying that the game give you at least a moment’s rest so that you can gather yourself.
– Real player with 32.2 hrs in game
For a free game, Arid is really good, in my opinion. It has some bugs here and there and could use some polish in some areas, but so do lots of games. I had it crash a couple of times, both times connected to saving, but it turned out the save had worked anyway so it was alright.
Overall, without having ever been to the Atacama (and bearing in mind it’s been enhanced for video game purposes), it felt properly punishing. I’ve wished other games that featured large desert areas had something like the sun exposure mechanic; on the hardest difficulty in this, when there’s no UI element to tell you what your exposure is, the sun is very scary. You end up reapplying clay obsessively, and scuttling from one shaded area to another, and doing a lot of your work at night. I also enjoyed the mechanic of finding dirty water and having to filter it. Other games have similar things, but this felt very natural, part of the daily tasks.
