Independent video game developer Andriy Bychkovskyi and publisher Crytivo have announced that their turn-based, strategic Mars colonization game, Farlanders, is going to be released in Q4 of this year! The Kickstarter campaign for this game has been funded three times over, but with a little less than three days left there's still time to back it.

In Farlanders, according to the press release by Crytivo, "you will have to play as a colony's architect in Mars to create the best settlement in the galaxy. Use specialized tools to terraform the planet, build residential areas for your colonizers, and construct resource-producing factories in an effort to become a self-sustaining society." There is a demo of this game that acts as a prologue to the full release, and it's out on Steam now.

With all of the current talk of a new space race between billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, a game like this where you escape to Mars in order to terraform it seem more and more common lately. However, this game is a noble effort to have a bit of fun with the idea. The simple graphics of this game belie a system that appears to be much more complex than it would seem.
