Two big wins this week and both are projects that I’ve been intrigued by since I first saw them. Lacuna Passage is the game about mysteries on Mars, using real topography of the Red Planet, and Satellite Reign is the Syndicate successor that promises an emergent cyberpunk city. Excellent news. (Read More)

You’re alone on the surface of Mars, and you’re running out of oxygen. What happened? How did you get here? How can you stay alive? And what mysteries lay hidden upon the Red Planet? (Read More)

For the next several hours I will be doing an AMA on Reddit about Lacuna Passage. If you have any questions about the game this is a great place to get them answered and help spread interest. Check it out!... (Read More)

There have been plenty of weeks with no losers and several winners, but I can’t remember compiling this column and finding losers without winners to sit above them. There are lots of projects that are readying themselves for a spot in the winners’ section though, propped on the podium, parading their plaudits. Dungeonmans and Tangiers are my current favourites, with Monochroma not far behind. It’s a busy week though and there should be something for everyone. Except sports fans. Nothing for sports fans. Probably the least Kickstarted genre actually. Licensing issues to blame? (Read More)

Yesterday we got a nice push that put us over $15,000, so to celebrate we are going to spread the love around a bit. Let me introduce you to some other unique space projects here on Kickstarter that could also use your support! Colonisation: Moonbase... (Read More)

The events of Lacuna Passage take place entirely on Mars; however, the man-made structures, capsules, and vehicles are all accurate to proposed and potential Mars expeditions. You will discover habitat modules, science facilities, a greenhouse, weather monitoring stations, pressurized rovers, and more. Many of these locations will provide you with a temporary respite from the harshness of the Mars landscape. In our quest for accuracy we have been in contact with several aerospace engineers and scientists to help us with these mission designs. (Read More)

The last couple of decades have seen our knowledge of the surface of Mars expand in leaps and bounds. We now know enough that, at last, this vital data can be put toward good use. Like making seriously intense survival games. (Read More)
