Hello Glintseekers,

we’ve been cooking something shiny… and it’s finally time to show it!

Today we’ve got a brand new Glintseeker Island trailer, a quick playtest reminder, a keyart reminder, and some publisher news. 💎

New Glintseeker Trailer 🎬

A fresh look at the mines, the village and (some) of the stuff waiting down below…

Playtest reminder ⛏️

Yes - the playtest is still live / coming right up (depending on when you read this 😄). If you haven’t jumped in yet, now’s a great time.

New Keyart 🖼️

Did you notice we have a new keyart? We are in love with it. We hope you like it too!

Publisher news: We’re now working with Assemble 🤝

Big news for us: Glintseeker Island is now partnering with Assemble as our publisher.

They’re helping us with things like reach, marketing, and making sure the game can shine as bright as possible - while we keep focusing on building the best mines (and secrets) we can.


Quick Reminder: What’s in the playtest?

  • New biomes to explore (3 biomes, 21 floors)

  • New hammers (8 hammers)

  • Hammer and Backpack upgrade system

  • Smelt ingots and open geodes

  • Village projects to repair (6 buildings)

  • 5 New capes with special effects

  • Buy & sell loot

  • Side-quests with the villagers

  • Feed & pet Shadow (the dog) 🐕

  • ... and many other things!

If you played a previous Glintseeker Island Playtest:

If you already received a code or had access in a previous playtest, you don’t need a new one - the Playtest version in your library will update automatically.

Old save files won’t work properly with the new version, so please delete your previous saves before starting. (The new content is best experienced from a fresh save anyway!)

See you in the Mines! ⛏️
