Greetings everyone!

 

I am excited to announce that 2.0 will soon be a reality.

 

Unity's annual game development challenge is coming up once again, and in it's honor, Mars Explorer is going to receive it's largest upgrade ever.

 

Between now and October 5th (the UA2009 final build deadline) - I will be working to fine tune everything that has been introduced in the 1.99 series - custom Whirlds, a completely new interface, and so much more. On that date, everything goes live!

 

2.0 is tremendously exciting to me in many different ways, one of which is monetization :)

Mars Explorer will always be free, but I am favorably considering the creation an "elite" group of members who get to pay around $15 for cooler looking "Sponsor" name badges and possible exclusive access to OS native Mars Explorer applications. What do you think of the idea? I have no plans to implement it in the near future, but a significant income would help Mars Explorer grow like nothing else.

 

 

 

 

All the best,
