Re: [Mars-sim-developers] Interested in helping with your game

[manny k. <man...@gm...>]

Hi Garrett,

Thanks for reaching out and writing to us.

You have very admirable educational goals for making use of games to reach
out to the kids and I like them.

We don't have a lot of active developers right now in mars-sim but for sure
we would welcome suggestions and help in making it better. For instances,
our UI needs some overhaul. At some point, we were discussing how to
implement an interactive help tooltips / tutorials / or inline system to
make mars-sim easy to grasp. Also, we hope to document more about our
design concept....

I look forward to collaborating with you on mars-sim and your Mars Colony
project and hope to be of some kind of help to you.

Sincerely,
Manny
