The Linux version came as a folder with a bunch of different files instead of a simple binary to execute. I'm not sure if this was intended.

I assume running the "Mars" executable file is how to start the game, but it requires older versions of shared libraries that I don't want to install. Any way you could export it for linux in a way that doesn't require installing dependencies?

Also it seems that you only added the Windows version to steam.

Nevermind, running the file named "nw" worked, though it's not very clear this is the right binary. Look forward to playing!

(+1)

Oops, I'm sorry for that. Apologies if the Steam version of Linux isn't available/working. Let me know if you need a refund.

(+1)

No worries, simply clicking on the binary file named "nw" in the zipped folder worked perfectly (I just tried clicking all the binaries until one worked). But you may want to include that in a readme or installation instructions on itch.

Also, fantastic game! Kudos

What happened to the soundtrack? It's listed as being in a bundle with the game but isn't available.

Apologies. Looks like I had the permission set incorrectly. Should be available now. Thank you for letting me know!

Glad to see the full game finally out! Played it and what a trip! Unfortunately I could not see the ending after getting to 200% due to a graphical glitch - everything is super zoomed in and I can't navigate properly or see what I am doing. 

Maybe if I saw that it would clear it up but, I have the feeling the ending doesn't end up explaining anything? Is the time loop and what is happening ever actually explained?

Hey can you send me an email contact@molochmedia.com ?

Really like to recreate and figure out this glitch you've got.

Thanks!

I just randomly found this game now, just under a week after its release! Might need to buy! Gonna download the demo now. Let's see...

Ahhh what I completely forgot to buy this, I've bought it now o7 sorry!

Was giving a copy of the game from the developers for free to cover on my stream. I thought the game was really interesting and different. Just when you feel like you figured out something, something else happens.

I am a Kickstarter backer who received my early copy, just played through the game (but I think there are still many secrets to uncover) and I love it. Highly recommended. You can see my longer post at the Kickstarter comments page. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1689302633/mars-underground-an-apocalyptic-...

I realy loved this game!! I was wondering is it availible yet or is it still demo?

Sorry for the late reply, I hadn't checked the itch.io page for a while and missed your message.

It's still just a demo for now but I'm very close to a release. Just need to finish testing and fixing bugs. 

No worries. I LOVED this demo! This was a fantastis game so far I really can't wait to play the full release!! Best of luck to you!

Well... the plan was to have it finished and released now, in September. Unfortunately I haven't been able to make that deadline. I'm not going to announce a new release date just yet, I'm waiting until I can set a date I'll be certain to hit. I don't want to continually announce dates and then fail to meet them and I don't want to cut the game down to get it out either.

Intresting concept! I would love to do a LP of the game if you allow that. If so, do you also allow Let's Players (like myself) to use YouTube's Partner program to place ads on said video?

Hey, sorry I missed your message and am only just getting back now.

I certainly do allow ads on let's plays

I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. Best of luck with your project!

Thanks!

Quite an interesting game, it seems like it could have alot of potential if done right.

Continuing development on this would defenently be worthet.


By the way:

I am curious about what language/software this game was developed in.


Scincerely -madK

how do i get to the gym after lunch. i can't go back inside

Sounds like a bug. After lunch ends, I just walk to the door and I'm right back inside again.

Played through the demo and this is a really I like what's going on so far! I'll keep my eye on this.

(+1)

I'm gonna record this game and post it on YouTube. The game is amazing and i'll also gonna review it after I played the demo. :D

Cool! Look forward to seeing what you think

The error at the start of "cycle 2" should be fixed now.

found an error, occured immediately after playing threw the default day

looks intresting though, let me know when you fix it! I'm excited to play more!

Thanks for having a look at my game!

I'm having difficulty recreating that error. Were you playing the browser version or the download? What sort of device were you using? What is your internet connection like?

(+1)

hi I was playing in browser in chrome and I have timewarner cable. After I finished the default day the error occured on the second day as I was about to get out of bed. Hope that helps.

(+1)

Had Same error on day after default loop after trying to wake up, failing, clicking sleep in, then replayed the time-warp animation, game crashed a few seconds after that

Game looks awesome though! can't wait for more

(+2)

yeah, this is exactly what I did!

Thanks so much to both of you for having a look!

It appears this bug crops up the first time the game is run, before an image has been cached, which is why I was having so much trouble recreating it.

Hope I can fix it quickly.

Updated 30 March 2016:

-Shortened "default cycle" by removing most of the school section

-Now using 16x16 tilesets

-All events are now triggered by "player touch"

-Graphics tweaks

-Gameplay tweaks
