Devlog - Update 0.46

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hi guys,

Slow and steady wins the race, 0.46 is a significant upgrade in terms of polish. :)

  • [Audio] Completely redesigned the sound experience of the game and added many, many new sound effects & more music

  • [Gameplay] Voxels are now always ejected beyond the surface of the asteroid when mined so that they can be easily collected

  • [UX] Added unique names to the space objects you travel to (in order to reflect their procedurally generated nature, e.g. "Large Iron Asteroid AX-17 Hardscrape")

  • [UX] Added transition & arrival effects when travelling

  • [Balance] Increased the value of Ice deposits some more (in order to better serve their intended purpose as a high-revenue alternative to mining Iron asteroids, at the cost of no Exotic chance)

  • [Onboarding] The ship's scanner now notifies you when you can travel to the Mysterious Structure for the first time

  • [UX] The HUD now shows the number of Exotic that has been collected (instead of the number mined, which was not super useful and could get confusing)

  • [UI] Settings dialog is now split into multiple tabs

As always, if you run into any bugs, have any questions or feedback, etc, please don't hesitate to reach out via Steam's Community Hub (Discord is coming soon too).

Happy mining!

I'm super happy to announce the release of Chief Miner's demo today! It's been quite a while in the works, and I feel it's in a good place now to showcase the core loop and provide ~20-30 minutes of fun gameplay. P.S. Do shoot me your feedback (pun intended), I'm actively developing the game and will happily consider it. :) Happy mining! --Neøn
