http://steamcommunity.com/games/416070/announcements/detail/646671482197507594

Mars 2030

"Aboard the U.S.S. Armstrong, four crew members must survive a one way mission to Mars. Face procedurally generated outer space crisis using a heavily pixelated terminal green interface."


"Overclock shields in action."


"Starbase Mars mini-game. Featuring an unlimited ever expanding hostile alien armada."

Hi All. I mod DF and make role playing games. Been waiting to introduce this here until most of the bugs in Mars 2030 were worked out. Version 1.1c seems to hit the mark. I hope you guys will check it out and post a positive review if you enjoy it. If you encounter any problems or have suggestions, do not hesitate to contact me here or in Steam discussions.

This looks cool.  On the wishlist it goes, and I'm sure I'll get to it at some point.

That does look nice. Any chance for an OS X build?

Thank you. Truth be told, 90% of my Steam games were purchased on sale.

A very good chance, but I don't have a date to share with you. The Windows version is finally getting into good enough shape to start promoting it further.

I love the green aesthetics, it's like something you would see in an old scifi movie

Yes. Future retro is at the heart of it. There are actually millions of shades of green in the game, unlike the 80's terminal style graphics.

Hi all. Mars 2030 1.2.3 has been released! I'm still hoping to get more reaction from DF players, who actually think losing has a fun side...

I'd prefer if everything was actually green and had a limited color palette (like my avatar), rather than having art that uses normal colors and then is tinted green.

Hi GUNINANRUNIN. Only the HD Moon map is tinted green. The rest is green ground up. Mars 2030 does use unlimited shades of green though.
