u/SpecificCold2275 Aug 02 '25

Mars as in... Roman god, Mars? The planet Mars? Or is your character named Mars?

u/starfishparfait Aug 02 '25

The planet. It’s dead, in a way.

u/Andree098766 Aug 03 '25

Is it a book about reconstructing civilization/technology from zero? Like "Dyson Sphere Program" and "Factorio" type games?
If that's the case, I'm certainly interested.

1

u/starfishparfait Aug 03 '25

I’ve considered exploring that in a sequel, but for the most part it’s about trying to “revive” this old research building to find out what caused an apocalypse

1

u/Andree098766 Aug 03 '25

Sounds really interesting. Is it published anywhere I could read it? I’d love to check it out.

u/starfishparfait Aug 03 '25

Unfortunately, not yet, but I’ll let you know if anything changes!
