Crisis on EarthThe 2020s were rough, but the next decade was even worse. More wars, political polarization and sputtering growth. And yeah, the billionaires only grew more powerful.But for our story in Mars Tactics, the key thing is what happened with energy. Global oil and gas markets began fracturing with the wars in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Exports of solar, wind and nuclear componen...

Hey guys. Development is heading in to the final stretch. It's actually not super stressful. Just healthy stressful. Because I'm v happy with how the design is turning out. The sandbox-style strategy layer is pure chaos and fun. I can't wait to get it in your hands. However, the sheer volume of work everyday is overwhelming. That's why I haven't had time to post new stuff.However, today is Sunday....

Hey guys, I hope you're having a relaxing end to the year. It's been a very productive 3 months for Mars Tactics so let me give you an update.The TLDR is the strategy layer is going great. As I wrote in June, switching it to real-time-with-pause (RTWP) was the magic trick that solved my big design problems. In August there was a successful playtest confirming this approach. Since then things have ...

They are introduced to Mars by mercenaries hired by the corporation to put down the labor rebellion.Good effect on target.Mortars work as you probably imagine: deploy the launcher, load the shell, aim, and fire.

Hey guys, just a quick thing you might enjoy.Last month's trailer gave a super tiny glimpse of new Gunsmith graphics and design. So today I wanted to show off the full suite of new graphics. And share examples of how special attachments actually work in battle.I will do a deep-dive after more playtesting, but here's how the final design is shaping up:There are now 6 gun frames. Each one looks uniq...

The factional asymmetry of Mars Tactics ain’t about Fish Himbos vs The Telepathic Hairdryer Folk of the Highlands. It gives you the bracingly topical choice of suits vs revolutionaries. In the blue corner, you’ve got the iron fist of Capital, who begin each campaign in a position of supremacy, but are beholden to the fatter cats on Earth for supplies. And in the red corner, you’ve got Labo(u)r, wh...

Hey guys, based on recent progress with the strategy layer and good feedback from playtesters, I finally feel confident to nail down a release date: May 2026. This will be an early-access release, but development is in a pretty mature stage. So you can expect all major features and mechanics, multiple endings for each faction, and basically the main meal. In fact, looking at the remaining items, I...

If you lent a keen eye to the Mars Tactics trailer which dropped at today's PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct, you might have spotted the ability to establish universal basic income right next to a button which wheels out a Martian Guillotine, or even the option to declare neoliberalism and "bend the knee to Earth's institutions." Come for the tactics, stay for the ethical and logistical burden of leadi...
