Dear Martians,

Memories of Mars is free for everyone to play up until the end of the weekend (ends Sunday, 7th of October around 10:00 PDT/19:00 CEST). We decided to let everyone experience the harsh landscape of Mars and also help Martians that have already purchased the game bring some friends over for a better co-op experience!



If you are a new Martian clone - aka playing the game for the first time - and you liked what you've experienced then consider buying the game since there is a 50% discount on the game price which ends on the 9th of October.


See you all on Mars, old and new Martian clones!

Regards,

Mother (You MoM CM!)

Dear Martians,

Season 3 is upon us! We went live on Season 3 of Memories of Mars today at 8AM PCT, the 25th of September.



First and foremost we would like to thank all Martians, especially the clones that have been with us from Season 1. We listened to your feedback, wiped from the face of Mars all the bugs everyone spotted and we'll continue to do so on a day to day basis.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gmSYamOvoU
Season 1 started off with the game being PVP only and with Season 2 we introduced PVE modes, the inclusion or Private servers, vehicles, the inclusion of a female clone, new weapons and various skins you could choose from.

Season 3 kicks off with more optimization to the game engine and a new map extension offering an additional setting for players to explore new facilities and points of interest scavenging for resources to survive. They will be able to discover hints on the events that lead to the abandonment of the Martian mining operations but will also face a new threat: Air drones. Always on watch, these top-security enforcers, will lock their spotlight over any player entering their surveillance areas and will unleash their full power over them.

Thankfully there are new additions to the player’s arsenal, as a fully customizable new DW-20 RIPPER submachine gun is available to 3D print. But this is not the only addition to player’s equipment’s. Following community requests built in headlights have been implemented to improve visibility on the darkest Martian nights. Also, alternative armour configurations are now available to offer advantages in weight management.

Other popular request of our clone community were additions to the base-building catalogue, and we are introducing a Gate and Holographic screens. All new items will have associated skills implemented on the skill tree.

A new tab in your inventory will display “Emergency protocols” from “Mother”, the ever-present AI running the system, small mini-quests with rewards that will help players get valuable resources while discovering new and hidden locations.

And lastly, “Mother” needs as many new clones as possible to test the new enhancements on the system! So MoM kickstarts its Season 3 on Steam on September 25th with a new SRP of $19,99 and a 50% discount on top!
Join us today for a new and exciting Memories of Mars season!

Thank you Martians, old and new!

Dear Martians,

Season 3 will introduce a new enemy, a new nuisance for all of you to deal with, the drone. The drone can fly over any area and once it spot you it's almost impossible for it to lose track of you so be very weary.



The drone is equipped and armed with missiles and it's sole purpose of existence is making sure clones are blown to pieces!



Let us know your thoughts about this new addition, coming soon on the 25th of September 2018, 10AM PCT. When Season 3 kicks off!

Love,

Mother.

Dear Martians,

The end of Season 2 is near. The end is coming.


But with every end there is a new beginning. The end of Season 2 means Season 3 is coming with lots of added features. One of these is the expansion of the Memories of Mars map which includes a brand new ice area!


Enough talk though, here are some screen teasers for all of you lovely Martian clones!

The Limbic Dev Team
