Both Mars Horizon and the upcoming sequel Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life are part of the Steam Space Exploration Fest that's running this week.   To celebrate, we have just released a new Mars Horizon 2 trailer where the spotlight is on the development team. They discuss their excitement for the game, the team's approach to development, and more!  Our team work incredibly hard behind the scenes so we saw this trailer as a chance to put some of them in front of the camera to allow their passion for the project, as well as their knowledge and expertise, shine. Our Marketing team are always looking for opportunities to allow our devs to speak to our community as this is a positive experience for both our devs and our players, who love hearing from the people behind the scenes. In this trailer we have John O'Donnell, Chris Watt, and Siddharth Mishra, and they wrote their own scripts for this trailer, with support from our marketing team.    We are really proud of this trailer, as well as Mars Horizon 2, so we're very excited to be able to showcase the game in our new trailer - Check it out below!   Link to the Mars Horizon 2 Steam Store page: https://lnkd.in/e3vBunZh

No ‘game over’ for MSc students in this multiplayer collaboration with video games company, Auroch Digital Ltd. Students on the MSc in Astrobiology and Planetary Sciences shared their science about life on other planets with games developer Auroch Digital for their video game: Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life. https://edin.ac/4fDRGkB 🎮 #astrobiology #studentcollaboration #marshorizon #lifebeyondearth

Collaborating with Auroch Digital Ltd on their upcoming game, Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life, was a fantastic experience! In this collaboration, we used our unique backgrounds and the knowledge developed through the taught portion of the MSc in Astrobiology and Planetary Science at The University of Edinburgh to provide some scientific basis for different aspects of the game (don't worry I won't spoil anything). We learned a lot about the intriguing intersection between science communication and game development. It was encouraging that the Auroch team was dedicated to accurately portraying concepts! I think we might have to consider working on another team in the future! 花蓓蕾 Sabrina Hardy Madeleine Landell Pallavi Kajrekar FRAS Oliver Pattle Zoe Halem Nim Felton Edwin Rodriguez Pamela Knoll and many others!!

We recently did a talk about Space Exploration in Strategy games as part of  TactiCon 2024. Our talk was led by our Lead Marketing Manager Will Flanagan with guests Claudia Thomas, Game Designer, and Freddie Jones, Associate Programmer, on Mars Horizon 2.  Our Special guest for this talk was Dr Sean McMahon, senior academic and researcher in astrobiology from the The University of Edinburgh who has been advising us on real life science as we design the game. In this talk we spoke about the ways we’ve worked with Sean and his team to incorporate authentic aspects of astrobiology into the game, as well as challenges we’ve come up against, and solutions we've come up with.   Talks and panels like this one are a great way for us to let our community see how we work with real world experts in our mission to make our titles authentic. They also give our partners a chance to speak to a new audience, including gamers across ours and Steam’s community. TactiCon is a celebration of strategy games across Steam with discounted titles, exclusive demos, plus panels and talks with strategy developers. Thank you to Hooded Horse Inc. and Firesquid for organising. https://lnkd.in/dm974Z_y
