Hello, everyone! It's been quite a night tonight, hasn't it...

I am pleased to announce that Build 3 of Mars Explorer 3.0 is complete and ready for early players who want to get a taste! :)

This version is 100% rudimentary. It's ONLY goal was to get the networking system converted off to the Unity Default. This is just temporary, but we needed SOME platform to do testing.

Whether or not we will be switching the networking system over away from Unity's built-in will be decided by YOU, the community, as well as the committee. If you are interested in joining the committee, or tracking progress on the project, here is the link for more info!

If you are just here to try out the game, there are the download links!

Download for Mac! (OSX)

Download for PC! (Windows)

And, of course, if you do not have time or space to download Mars 3.0, you can simply gaze at some screenshots :)

Thankyou once again Aubrey for delivering us this amazingly selfless code publication!

Thankyou, Eric, for take screenshots, and thankyou, Etah for helping me sort through the 420 that I personally took!

I really do wish you could help, pancakes :( Oh well, I am sure there are places where, like you say, vehicle modeling can be done :) I hope you get a new computer sometime soon!

Bug: Xorbs can't move.

Description: For moving the xorbs you can only direct them from side to side and that barely happens at all. You can't tell the Xorb to go forward at all.

Hey, there!

Unfortunately, I could not recreate your bug, my xorbs are working fine, other than the fact that they are ginormous pink.... oh god just horrible.

Can you spare any details, maybe contact me on skype and show it to me in person?

Huh, that's weird.

So I can't move the xorb forward at all, and then I go out of fullscreen and back in and it starts moving just fine.

And to me the xorb isn't pink, it's textured only the texture doesn't move like in Mars 2.22.

How. Very. Odd! You know it may have to do with our rendering settings come to think of it... Let me have a second looksee

Also, At the fullscreen, that is probably what caused it, I do not use fullscreen in the editor (I actually CAN'T use it in the editor). Noted, and thankyou! :)

So this new mars can play coloplura and all those unity 3 worlds?

Cool!

AWESOME!!!

WOW

Oh btw once in a world (space shuttle like world) I was in a biome and I was in the water and in the water.l.

I saw the reflection of my arrow for the minimap

Each vehicle has an arrow. It is invisible to the driving camera and only visible to the minimap. It is also visible in some types of water.
