Here is how the game could look in Japanese. Even though the game is not finished, and will change for sure, preparing the game to support different languages shouldn’t be the last thing to do. The objective for the last week was to technically prepare the game while also validate some UI changes I did a couple of months ago where I decided to change to use a pixelart font named Silver that sup…
To prepare for EA release I started working on adding more replayability through metagame unlocks. Having different ships sounds like a reasonable first thing to have in a game named “Ship” Miner. In order to increase replayability, playing with a new ship should provide a different experience when playing the game again. That doesn't mean the core game should change but more like looking at th…
At the beginning of this month I announced Ship Miner Early access release date and I want to share what is the plan to get into it as well as what I am working right now. Before that though, I want to share some information about wishlists. LAGS + Early Access Announcement Participating in the LAGS Summer Game Fest Edition to announce the Early Access release date had a really positive impact…

Ship Miner Demo gets its second content update, I've been working on the mid loop, now you can select different asteroids when traveling, among other changes. Also increased a bit the current game difficulty. There is still a lot to do, I hope I can focus on adding more content for next update (enemies, tech, etc) while also tune a bit all the asteroid travel progression too. Thanks so much for…
Ship Miner Demo gets its first content update, I've been working on the game progression a bit and changed a couple of things. There is still so much to be defined/decided but the game is taking shape with each small step. This update changes a bit the need for traveling among different asteroids and it provides some increased difficulty as well with each jump. I keep working on the game and lo…
I’ve just released the Demo of Ship Miner!!! This is a great milestone for me and the game. The game is far from over but I believe the Demo shows part of the core experience of the game. The idea is to keep working on the game and update the Demo frequently in order to improve it and communicate better and better what the game is gonna be in the end. Hope you enjoy it! PLAY IT NOW!
