Take on Mars and Kerbal Space Program offer new ways to crash land
Indie games Take on Mars and Kerbal Space Program have exciting new updates that will allow gamers to blow virtual tax money into stardust. Bohemia Interactive released Update 2 for Take on Mars that adds Steam Workshop support so budding Mars rover engineers can share their user creations. The developer also announced that on October 3rd, the game will receive a “Deimos Update” that will add two new locations, a Zero-G Probe, and dynamically generated missions. Bohemia plans to also add martian weather so Mars explorers can lose expensive equipment in dust storms. Gamers on the fence should pick it up before the release date of the Deimos Update because the price will increase from $12.99 to $17.99.
Squad released a preview video for Kerbal Space Program to announce a substantial version 0.22 update that will add a R&D Center to the game. Research and design will feature a tech tree with spacecraft parts to blow up. Items will unlock by fulfilling scientific missions which will require successively more advanced parts to complete. Rocket designers should be glad to hear that they will also be able to save sections of created craft for future use in the forthcoming update.
Both spacecraft destruction simulators are available on Steam Early Access or on the developers’ websites.
