Quotes
"In Terraformers, playing and experimenting with Mars' atmosphere enables us to understand better what happens on Earth."
- Claude Nicolier, astronaut
"Space is still the final frontier, and the idea of a detailed simulation of terraforming Mars is particularly appealing during our self-destructive times on this planet. Blending exploration with Rogue-lite elements, the project has a lot of ambition, and I’m excited to work with a first-time studio looking at design with fresh eyes."
- Jamil Moledina, our mentor
