QUByte Interactive :

São Paulo, Brazil - 3rd July, 2024 - Independent developer QUByte Interactive has today released a new Dev Diary offering further insight into the art behind their upcoming futuristic action adventure MARS 2120 ahead of its 1.0 launch onto PC (Steam and Epic Store), Switch, PlayStation and Xbox Series consoles on August 1st.

 

Watch the MARS 2120 Dev Diary 2:

  This second in a series of Dev Diaries looks at the art behind its Martian setting. Utilizing a mix of more realistic hard sci-fi environments with the colorful practical effects that dominated late 70s and 80s cinema in films like Alien, Aliens and Enemy Mine, the team at QUByte envisioned manmade structures ranging from research labs to a gargantuan greenhouse to the living quarters for a crew on a one-way expedition to the red planet amidst its colonization.   “The fascination that the red planet has held over us since the first probes began to touch its surface in 1971 and all the scientific knowledge we have so far have been the fuel for imagining what a human colony on Mars might look like in the not-too-distant future,” said QUByte Co-Founder Guilhes Damian. “What's more, once again, the great science fiction movie titles of the 80s and 90s were a big part of the inspiration for the game's visuals.”
