Hi Im a member of INTERMARUM, an independent game developer from Poland. If you'd been waiting for something in BARIS's style, then exactly that's what we are trying to achieve. The game's name is Race To Mars. Race To Mars is a turn-based, space company simulation game. Become the head of a newly created New Space company whose goal is to establish a colony on Mars. You begin as a start-up and develop cutting edge aerospace technologies to reach orbit. Flying beyond the vicinity of Earth, blaze the trail into space and leave the competition far behind on your way to victory. Our game aims at achieving two goals: promoting the outer space industry and satisfying all fans of economy games. Race To Mars combines the realism of a space-port management sim and approachable gameplay. We assure you that both subject enthusiasts and casual gamers will find this mixture highly entertaining. Our priority is to make an approachable game without compromising its key economic and strategic features. On the main game screen, there will be the firms HQ and additional buildings related to the companys activities. Most of the buildings will be created during the game, in the development phase of various projects, both major and minor ones. For example, a medium-size launch pad will be developed during R&D activities related to the medium-size rocket. As an important game element, the player will have to interact with National Space and Air Office, the military, scan new market offers and monitor the activity of competitors. The authors of the game propose a simplified system called the market. Since we aim at delivering the best quality, the game is being developed in close cooperation with scientists from a Polish space industry company Kosmonauta.net. Also, we are using Unity - the leading multiplatform game engine. Thanks to this, we are able to deliver top quality content. Windows Edition screenshots - Recently we have launched a Kickstarter campaign, which we are planning to help us speed up the development process of the game. If the above sounds interesting for you, and you would like to get some more info what we are doing please visit our KS page: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/intermarum/race-to-mars We are hoping you will let your friends know about the project and back us to make this game.

Yes. "iOS Edition - if the basic goal is reached, then it should be 4Q2014, if stretch goals are achieved, then earlier, possibly march/april 2014."
I could have sworn I read a couple of months ago that this was already under development. I guess they were jumping the gun. Damn

Despite the unsuccessful crowdfunding campaign on KickStarter, we did not give up! Race to Mars is still being created. In order to speed up the game development, we decided to make it available on the market right now, in its initial form. What we are publishing today is a slightly modified version of the game, which was sent to the media during the KickStarter campaign. This is the PreAlpha version, which is still missing a few basic components - IT IS A VERY EARLY VERSION! We publish it for all our fans and supporters from the KickStarter campaign. Right now we are working on the tools and as soon as the Alpha version is reached, which will allow a short game, we will initiate the media campaign. This should take approximately 4 weeks. Also, right now we need your comments and support, as it has already been very valuable. We are going to send you updates about the Race To Mars game every second week, so that you should know the current development status. Soon a Linux version should be available as well as a tool to translate Race To Mars to other languages, for what you have asked during the KickStarter campaign. Of course, we will answer to all your questions or comments, also related to our our website. For more information, please check our website - www.racetomars.pl
So is this being released on the App Store like this and being updated or is this pc only? If its pc only then oh well never mind as I don't have a pc anyway.
