Making a lot of progress on this. As soon as the major bugs are worked out and towns are built on Mars a new release will be uploaded.
Right now I have constructed 4 new areas on Mars. The free City of Odessa, the town of Keystone (refugee camp), the Botaran Pirate Stronghold (a crashed cargo freighter) and Olympus Mons the tallest Volcano on Mars.
The storyline is really coming together. I plan to release the next upload when I have successfully merged my old game (Empire of Stars) with my new game. The storyline will then span Humankind's vast journey of leaving the Earth that we fucked up, colonizing mars, and achieving faster than light travel thanks to the aliens we oppressed on Mars.
Soon there will be a New Mars Republic, which will become the New Star Republic. I am attempting to make the game I always wanted to play. I hope I am successful. I am working on spacing out the game a little bit as many of the events do happen so quickly.
If anybody has any suggestions that they think will help this game be a lot better please let me know!
