Hey everyone!

Good news; the big content update is here! As mentioned in an earlier post, I've now moved on from frequent small patches to less frequent bigger updates with new mechanics and content! If you'd like to suggest new features, the best way to do so is on Discord[discord.com].

Hi everyone!

We just hit an awesome milestone; 100 million total tiles mined globally!
I figured this would be a good time to look back at what happened since launch and what I'll be focusing on going forward.

Since launch I've pushed about 10 patches with a bunch of fixes, changes and improvements. I want to thank you all for the feedback and suggestions as it really helps me improve the game and focus on what's most important! The hat poll from last week has also ended; and with more than 500 votes you guys have voted for the Wizard's Hat. The hat will automatically unlock next time you start the game! :)

So far I've been focusing on quick small patches, to make sure important improvements and bug fixes are implemented asap. However, as I'm starting to move on from bug fixing and improvements to new features and content, I'll be focusing on releasing bigger patches less frequently. So far I've planned 3 big updates.

I don't have any deadlines for these updates because I want to take my time to polish things up and release it when it's ready. I prefer a delayed victory over a quick failure.

The contents of these updates are based on suggestions and feedback from the community. A lot of suggestions and feedback have been implemented right away, but the bigger / more complicated changes have been put in one of the updates below. These updates are subject to change and I'd love to hear what you would like to see in upcoming updates so I can update the roadmap!

• New map
  
• New rock type
  
• Stats & leaderboards
  
• Radar zoom passive
  
• Bank expansion passive
  
• Passive prestiges
  
• Passive cross-saving
  
• Deliver all option for buildings
  
• Improved controller support
  
• Improved Steam Deck support
  
• New hats
  
• New horn sounds
  
• Got any other suggestions? Let me know!

• New map
  
• Ice nodes
  
• Animals (scenic, not pets)
  
• Repeatable objectives
  
• Mech skins & customization
  
• New hats
  
• New horn sounds
  
• Got any other suggestions? Let me know!

• New map
  
• Magma nodes
  
• Weather effects
  
• Daily / Weekly challenges
  
• New hats
  
• New horn sounds
  
• Got any other suggestions? Let me know!

Lastly, it's probably good to mention that after these free updates I'll be focusing my attention on DLC content. With the game being priced as low as it is, it's not in the budget for me to endlessly keep pushing out free updates and content. However, if I can release new content in the form of a paid DLC (probably priced around $1.99 or something) I can keep working on the game for a longer period of time. That obviously won't mean the base game is not getting any free content or updates anymore after the three updates above. I'll keep updating and patching the game just like I'm still actively pushing out patches for the prequel.

Thank you all for the continued support!

Hi everyone!

It's already been a week since Super Mining Mechs has released and the reception has exceeded all my expectations. In the first week you've managed to mine well over 60 million tiles... which let's be honest - is just ridiculous haha. The game currently has a 92% positive score on Steam out of 200 reviews and that's really heartwarming. Thank you all for the kind reviews and for sharing all your feedback with me. I read every single one and try to listen carefully to all the feedback I get to make the game a little better every day. Thank you all for your support!!

To celebrate the launch I thought it would be fun to add an exclusive hat just for players who got the game in the first 2 weeks of launch, so I've launched a poll in the Discord for people to vote for their favorite hat. The hat with the most votes will be added at the end of the week!
You can find the poll in the announcements channel on Discord:
Discord[discord.com]

Thank you all and may the the best hat win!

PS: I know the game still has its flaws and issues - please know that I'm working around the clock to resolve everything as fast as I can! If you have any suggestions or issues, please feel free to report them in the Steam Community Hub or on Discord and I'll look into it right away!

Best,
Barry

Another update with a bunch of fixes and QoL updates. I have been getting reports from players mentioning their game sometimes closes out without an error message. This makes it hard to fix, because the error message usually contains all the info I need to fix the problem. I have spent multiple days investigating this, involving various people (better coders than I am) to get to the bottom of this. It's my main priority. However, I am not able to reproduce the issue for myself. Because of this, I am not able to confirm if my changes and fixes work. Therefore I currently completely rely on everyone to keep reporting if it still happens. So I have a request for anyone that has ever encountered this issue before: please get this latest patch and disable visual effects through the settings menu. If you still get a crash without visual effects on, please let me know! This way we can confirm that the issue is not with the visual effects and will bring me one step closer to narrowing down the root of the issue. In the meantime I have added a setting to increase the auto save interval, so if the game does crash, you don't lose too much progress.

Thanks for your patience and support! Really appreciate all the feedback I've been getting through Steam and Discord!
