It has now been 3 weeks since the Early Access launch of Mars Attracts, and we wanted to thank everyone who picked up a copy (plus a special extra thankyou to those who bought the Supporter's Edition)!

We hope you're enjoying the game, and have been hard at work integrating your feedback. We'll soon be shifting focus to concentrate on new content, however have just pushed the second hotfix patch to address the most common bugs and requests from launch. If you're jumping in for the first time since launch, here's what's new:

• 10+ new Martian decorations

• New enclosure demolition system to prevent accidental gaps in walls

• Available staff now sorted by distance

• Autosave during missions

• More music variation

• Resolution not setting correctly for some screens

• 'Ghost' enclosures appearing on maps after autosave

• Characters getting stuck at park entrance

• Litter and bodies sometimes spawned on inaccessible tiles

• Older save files not loading

• Resolution not setting correctly for some screens

• Steam achievements not triggering immediately

• Characters getting stuck on vending machines & fountains

• Janitors getting stuck on bridges

• Some humans invincible when escaping

• Some humans not returned to enclosure after being stunned

• Paid decor unlocks not saving

As ever, drop a comment using the in-game feedback form, on the Steam forums, or chat to us on Discord! Keep the suggestions coming - they're the cornerstone of the game's Early Access roadmap.

Thanks again!

So time to put a bunch of hotfixes, balancing changes live for all and release a suprise new feature.
It's been such a joy to see all the positive vibes around behemoths, that I was super energized and actually woke up earlier this week with a new feature in mind. Which I proceed to make and was live on beta for a short bit. It's formations. or a formation toggle

You can now use the floorUp/floorDown to change the formation and behaviour of your escort fleet.

Aggresive/loose

Your escorts spread out and will select targets according to their own proximity and decisisions, focusing on nearest targets and targets that are attacking them.

Defensive/tight

Your escorts form up into a tight pack and they will now prioritize targets that are closest to your cursor. This isn't a toggle or a button thing, they simple look where your cursor is, and if there is a legitimate target nearby that will be their next target. This only works for turrets and airships, warbirds will alrady prioritize other small fighters. Again this isn't aiming, it's just selecting which targets, the ships and turrets will aim themselfes. This should however feel like you have some indirect control on where to focus the battle. You can focus fire on ground guns much more effectively if you wanna pick those of first.

Anyways, this is literally positive vibes causing a developer to work that tad bit harder and just feeds the passion. So this one is thanks to you all.

I've got to get cracking on the Falconeer Remaster, but will monitor for bugs..

Don't forgot to leave a review or follow me as developer
https://store.steampowered.com/developer/TomasSala

881 now!! Lets get a thousand followers.. Trust me following developers is going to be the best thing you can do for a dev in the future.

Changelist

• You can now toggle between aggresive and defensive fleet formation/stance

• your fleet escorts and guns when set to defensive will try to acquire targets close to your cursor so you can direct the battle during play. no clicks are required, vessels simply look to your movements to acquire targets. Not targeting itself, just picking the targets when their old target is no longer valid.

• Escorts warships and random factions ships buffed hitpoints by 25-35 % , to make em more durable and deadly

• Defending forces of major settlements de-buffed by 15% fewer hitpoints

• Commanders you gained from conquest or subterfuge would not show up as assignable, once you unassigned them, now fixed

• Commanders acquired thru subterfuge or conquest have a chains icon around their portrait

• Random encounters with buildings may not spawn next to the fixed questionmark locations.
  Hovering with the cursor over the mawspring on the map would freeze the game
  Combat will deliver substantially more splinters after an engagement

Here comes an update we've been DYING to get out, if you don't see it, please restart your Steam client, and it will prolly come up.

All the feedback you guys have sent us via forums, Discord, somehow via private emails and one via a brick through our window has been invaluable. 

For some reason not even we here at Jetebra can understand, there is a constant stream of players playing our ancient demo. But no more! In celebration of the spookiest month of the entire year, we updated the demo with a smorgasbord of new content and bugfixes. 

• Demo v2 is out now

• Events (2 added, more coming)

• Ability Cards (foundational now, will get wild later)

• Visual & UI glow-up

• Movement overhaul for smoother play

• Lots of crash & lobby fixes

---

One of the pillars of our game that sadly didn’t make it into the last version, was events. Big, game changing moments between rounds that can alter the game entirely! For now, only two exists, but more will come with time.  

PS: We’re working with the Discord to add an arachnophobia mode for one of them.

A slight change from our original idea has also arrived! All players are now given Ability cards at the start of the game that can give powerful power-ups… which are pretty basic for the moment but will become dope with time, I promise. 

A general facelift across the board. UI, effects, and readability has been our main focus. It’s starting to look pretty dang good.

We got a lot of feedback on the movement system and its clunkiness to use, so we’ve done a giant rehaul to hopefully make moving and choosing paths way more intuitive.

---

• Fixed a nasty crash during encounters (it shouldn’t happen anymore… hopefully).

• Joining/hosting no longer sends you to multiplayer limbo where you have to restart to play again.

And an insane amount of other tweaks, networking fixes and other stuff that we in all honesty have forgotten a lot about lmao.

---

We’re a tiny crew, and sometimes “we” is basically one exhausted programmer juggling networking, gameplay, animations, balance, and everything in between. Sometimes we get stuck in a loop of trying to fix bugs that are much bigger than we thought. We are sorry for the long wait time with these sorts of updates as you guys seem to love the game and there is nothing we want more than to make sure you have the absolute best experience we can offer. We have worked tirelessly and are continuing to work to make sure as much as the bugs you have encountered gets fixed, and to make the final version feel like an actual board game come alive. 

---

• Wishlist on Steam, it helps a ton.

• Join the Discord to vote on features (like arachnophobia mode) and drop feedback.

• Report bugs in the Steam forums or our #bugs channel on discord, to be able to get your logs help us fix things faster.

If there’s anything you want to tell us, don’t hesitate.
Love — Jetebra Games 🖤

Sorry, as mentioned in the last developer's diary, I am currently busy with several real-life tasks. Thus, this is not a proper developer's diary. It's a reminder.

Two years ago, Hamas terrorists invaded Israel and started a war by murdering thousands of people, raping women raped, burning children alive, and kidnapping hundreds of people. This is a fact.
Two years ago, Hamas terrorists did not attack Israeli military targets; instead, they deliberately targeted civilians to cause pain and terror among the innocents. This is a fact.
Two years ago, Hamas terrorists not only killed Israeli citizens; instead, they killed all human beings other than themselves. Among the victims, there were 41 citizens of Thailand, 40 citizens of France, 35 citizens of the US, 24 citizens of Ukraine, 23 citizens of Russia, 10 citizens of the UK, and 4 Chinese. They shall not be forgotten. This is a fact.
Two years ago, Hamas terrorists not only kidnapped Israeli citizens; instead, they kidnapped all human beings they could get their hands on. Almost half of the hostages were foreign nationals or had multiple citizenships. Among them were citizens of Thailand, Nepal, the Philippines, the United States, Russia, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Argentina, and more. They shall not be forgotten. This is a fact.
For two years, it's only through Israel's military and political efforts that Hamas has gradually released many of the hostages, while many useless Western politicians offer no better solutions, only to denounce Israel for a genocide that only exists in their delusions and propaganda. This is a fact.

As such, I shall reaffirm my support for Israel once again this year, just like I did last year and two years ago.

New game content has been added.

There is a yellow ribbon for hope and resilience.
However, hope and good wishes alone are not enough to ensure a positive outcome for this reality.
Laws, even International laws, mean nothing if there is no power to enforce them. What happens in Ukraine is an example. President Zelenskyy said this himself at the UN.

Thus, we also get a new sniper rifle added to the game. Just like in previous years, I have added other Israeli firearms to the game, such as the Uzi and TAR-15. I hope I do not need to add another gun next year. President Trump's 21 points are bringing new hope for the return of all hostages this year. Perhaps, soon, we will see a better Gaza, free from Hamas, and return to peace.

This year, such a memorial also holds an additional meaning. It's for Charlie Kirk.


We will have more content for Charlie Kirk next week, on Oct. 14th.

That's it for now. Thank you for your attention.

抱歉，正如上次开发者日记中提到的，我目前正忙于几项现实生活中的任务。因此，这不是一篇正式的开发者日记。这只是一个提醒。

两年前，哈马斯恐怖分子入侵以色列，发动了这场战争，杀害数千人、强奸妇女、活活烧死儿童，并绑架了数百人。这是事实。
两年前，哈马斯恐怖分子并没有攻击以色列军事目标；相反，他们故意针对平民，以在无辜者中制造痛苦和恐惧。这是事实。
两年前，哈马斯恐怖分子不仅杀害了以色列公民；相反，他们杀害了除自己以外的所有人类。其中受害者包括41名泰国公民、40名法国公民、35名美国公民、24名乌克兰公民、23名俄罗斯公民、10名英国公民，以及4名中国人。他们不应被遗忘。这是事实。
两年前，哈马斯恐怖分子不仅绑架了以色列公民；相反，他们绑架了他们能抓住的所有人类。近一半的人质是外国国民或拥有多重国籍。其中包括泰国、尼泊尔、菲律宾、美国、俄罗斯、法国、德国、英国、爱尔兰、阿根廷等国的公民。他们不应被遗忘。这是事实。
在两年中，只有通过以色列的军事和政治努力，哈马斯才逐渐释放了许多人质，而许多无能的西方政客却没有提供更好的解决方案，只会谴责以色列犯下了仅存在于他们妄想和政治宣传中存在的种族灭绝。这是事实。

因此，我将再次重申我对以色列的支持，就像我去年和两年前所做的那样。

游戏中添加了新的内容。

这里有一个黄丝带，象征希望与坚韧。
然而，仅靠希望和美好祝愿不足以确保现实中会有积极的结果。
法律，即使是国际法，如果没有力量来执行它们，就毫无意义。乌克兰发生的事情就是一个例子。泽连斯基亲自怒斥过联合国。

因此，我们还在游戏中有了一把新的狙击步枪。就像前几年一样，我添加了其他以色列枪械，比如乌兹冲锋枪和TAR-15。我希望明年不需要再添加另一把枪。川普的21点计划为今年所有 人质的返回带来了新的希望。或许，很快，我们将看到一个更好的加沙，摆脱哈马斯，回归和平。

今年，这样的纪念还具有额外的意义。为了查理·柯克。


下周10月14日，会有更多和查理·柯克有关的内容。

目前就到这里。感谢你的关注。

Hi all,

This is a small update that adds a new artifact for Survivor Level 3 players. You will need Gravedigger to find it.

• Added a mysterious new artifact that can be revealed by cleaning a barnacle encrusted bottle. Have a look at Tessa and Margie's deals in the Workshop.

• The sling goblin follower in Guardian's Gate now costs both Brimstone and Obsidian Shards.

Work on the DLC is coming along nicely and we will soon announce it's release date. It will contain an oversized map with "lots" of new content.

Till later,

André

Since there was a security problem in the Unity Engine this update fixes it. It also makes the tutorial tracks a bit easier and contains lots of minor improvements. Thanks for reading :-)

Management is thrilled to announce that Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor has been nominated for Best Indie Game at the Golden Joystick Awards!

We’re proud to see how far the game has come, and it’s all thanks to your continuous support.

Cast your vote before October 31st and help us bring home the trophy. 🏆

ROCK AND STONE!
