If you were like me, growing up you had dreams of being a fighter pilot, fireman or astronaut. Race To Mars says forget being an astronaut run your own damn space company! So in Race To Mars you’ll take you’re little start up that could build up some science and aerospace research labs and then try to send a your best rocket ever hurtling toward the red planet. To do that you’ll need to get friendly with commercial, science and military industries to gain money and build cool science.
If it sounds like it would be too complex for your brain don’t worry the team over at Intermarum is looking to make the game easy to pick up and play along with having the depth needed for those of you who like to dig deep into the economy and strategy side. That makes me happy because there’s nothing I hate more than over taxing my brain when I feel burnt out on work but then there’s other times I want to really get in and tinker with stuff. And from the sound of it there’s going to be a lot of tinkering to do if with over two hundred technologies to research in game, DAMN! So if your inner astronaut has been crying out for some fun head on over and check out their Kickstarter page and check it out today. Intermarum is going to be using the Kickstarter funding to get Race To Mars on PC, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android within a year.

Opole, Poland – June 27, 2013
Announced three months ago, Race To Mars – the economy turn-based game about space exploration has had its KickStarter just launched. Polish independent game development studio INTERMARUM is trying to collect 30.000 pounds for this cause.
The money will help INTERMARUM create the multiplatform game within a year and allow the players to experience the hardships of the current race to the stars.
“It is the key event for us which will determine how expansive our game will be. We have been working on it since the last few months and we hope for our project to become interesting to all economy and space exploration games’ fans.” – says Szymon Janus, the CEO of INTERMARUM.
Anna Piekarczyk, responsible for marketing and community relations adds: “We pay a lot of attention to our fans and what they expect from the game. We’re trying hard to make sure our communication with them will result in a much better game, with our ideas and solutions consulted with the community.”
The Kickstarter collection drive will continue for the next month, and if it succeeds, the game should be released in the first half of 2014. This is the first major independent project of INTERMARUM, which is supported by scientists from Polish space industry companies.
