Hey everyone!

This update contains a couple of QoL updates and fixes related to text drawing.

PS: I just announced my new game Mining Merchant. Check out the brand new gameplay trailer here and add it to your wishlist while you're there :) https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2830150/view/545616987916599657

Γεια σε όλους!

Υπέροχα νέα – σήμερα ανακοινώνω το νέο μου παιχνίδι, Mining Merchant! Όπως υποδηλώνει ο τίτλος, πρόκειται για ένα spin-off του (Super) Mining Mechs, αλλά αυτή τη φορά η έμφαση δίνεται στη δημιουργία αντικειμένων και τη διαχείριση καταστήματος.

Στο Mining Merchant, το κάποτε ακμάζον κοσμηματοπωλείο του θείου σου καταρρέει και είναι δική σου δουλειά να το επαναφέρεις στη ζωή! Εξόρυξε πολύτιμες μεταλλεύματα, λιώσε τα για να φτιάξεις λαμπερά κοσμήματα, πρόσθεσε σπάνιους πολύτιμους λίθους και πούλησέ τα σε κάθε πελάτη που μπαίνει από την πόρτα. Εξόρυξε την ημέρα, πούλα τη νύχτα – μόνος ή σε συνεργασία – και γίνε ένας επιτυχημένος έμπορος!

Μπορείς να δεις το νέο trailer με πλάνα παιχνιδιού παρακάτω, αλλά πριν το κάνεις, πρόσθεσε το παιχνίδι στη λίστα επιθυμιών σου στο Steam για να ειδοποιηθείς όταν κυκλοφορήσει!

Στο Mining Merchant, ο κύκλος παιχνιδιού αποτελείται από δύο βασικές φάσεις, τις οποίες μπορείς να παίξεις με τον δικό σου ρυθμό.

Κάθε μέρα ξεκινά με τη «φάση εξόρυξης», στην οποία εξερευνάς υπόγειες σπηλιές και εξορύσσεις πολύτιμους πόρους στο γνώριμο, χαλαρωτικό και ικανοποιητικό στυλ του Mining Mechs. Αυτοί οι πόροι μετατρέπονται έπειτα σε κοσμήματα που πωλούνται στο κατάστημά σου. Η διαδικασία περιλαμβάνει διάφορους πάγκους εργασίας – θα μιλήσω πιο αναλυτικά γι’ αυτούς σε μελλοντική ανάρτηση.

Μόλις ολοκληρώσεις τη δημιουργία, επιστρέφεις στο κατάστημα για να περάσεις στη «φάση διαχείρισης καταστήματος». Γέμισε τα ράφια, άνοιξε τις πόρτες και ξεκίνα τις πωλήσεις! Οι πελάτες θα έρχονται αναζητώντας συγκεκριμένα αντικείμενα και κάποιοι ίσως ζητήσουν ειδικές παραγγελίες.

Τα χρήματα που κερδίζεις μπορούν να χρησιμοποιηθούν για την αναβάθμιση του καταστήματός σου, των mech σου και άλλων, προετοιμάζοντάς σε για ακόμη μεγαλύτερα κέρδη την επόμενη μέρα!
Ο λόγος που αποφάσισα να κινηθώ προς αυτήν την κατεύθυνση είναι ότι όλα αυτά τα χρόνια έλαβα πάρα πολλά σχόλια από την κοινότητα και ένα στοιχείο ξεχώρισε: η επαναληπτικότητα. Τόσο το Mining Mechs όσο και το Super Mining Mechs είναι αρκετά «grindy» παιχνίδια και, παρόλο που πολλοί παίκτες απολαμβάνουν την χαλαρή τους ατμόσφαιρα, νομίζω ότι μπορούμε όλοι να συμφωνήσουμε πως λίγη περισσότερη ποικιλία δεν θα έβλαπτε ;)

Έτσι, παρόλο που το Mining Merchant παραμένει κατά κύριο λόγο ένα παιχνίδι εξόρυξης, οι φάσεις δημιουργίας αντικειμένων και διαχείρισης καταστήματος ανανεώνουν τη φόρμουλα και προσθέτουν κάτι φρέσκο.
Ελπίζω το παιχνίδι να κέντρισε το ενδιαφέρον σου! Αν ναι, πρόσθεσέ το στη λίστα επιθυμιών σου στο Steam – έτσι θα λάβεις ειδοποίηση όταν κυκλοφορήσει και θα με βοηθήσεις πάρα πολύ!

Hey everyone!

Big announcement today; I'm announcing my new game Mining Merchant. Check out the brand new gameplay trailer here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2830150/view/545616987916599657

This update contains a couple of QoL updates and fixes, as well as some things in prepration for the announcement of my next game!

QoL changes v1.00.98

• Fixed missing Toxera voiceline
  
• Fixed end goal indication
  
• Fixed empty goal display
  
• Fixed prestige GUI refresh
  
• Removed roadmap button
  
• Updated main menu carousel
  
• Updated wishlist button

Ελπίζω να είστε όλοι καλά! Σήμερα είναι μια σπουδαία μέρα. Μετά από μια δωρεάν αναβάθμιση περιεχομένου για το βασικό παιχνίδι χθες, σήμερα λανσάρω 2 νέα DLC. Το ένα είναι για το αρχικό Mining Mechs και το άλλο για το Super Mining Mechs.

Τώρα μπορεί να αναρωτιέστε: «Χρειάζομαι πραγματικά αυτά τα DLC;» και η απάντηση σε αυτό είναι «απολύτως όχι». Ωστόσο – η γυναίκα μου μου ζήτησε να σας πείσω, γιατί θέλει να συνεχίσω να πληρώνω το μέρος της υποθήκης μας. Οπότε, εδώ είναι 5 λόγοι για τους οποίους θα πρέπει να αποκτήσετε τα νέα DLC:

Λόγος 1: Είναι διασκεδαστικά. (Το υπόσχομαι)
Λόγος 2: Μπορείτε να τιθασεύσετε αυτή την άλματα καμήλα:
Λόγος 3: Μπορείτε να σκάψετε προς τα πάνω σε ένα υποβρύχιο mech:
Λόγος 4: Υπάρχει έκπτωση 20% κατά την κυκλοφορία, οπότε κοστίζουν λιγότερο από έναν καφέ Starbucks.
Λόγος 5: Είναι πραγματικά διασκεδαστικά και είναι Σαββατοκύριακο, παιδιά, σοβαρά τώρα.

Δύσκολα μπορώ να φανταστώ ότι δεν είστε απόλυτα πεπεισμένοι μετά από αυτή την εκπληκτική προσπάθεια μάρκετινγκ, αλλά σε περίπτωση που θέλετε να διαβάσετε περισσότερα, για το DLC Camel Chaos, μπορείτε να δείτε αυτή την ανάρτηση, ή αν θέλετε να μάθετε περισσότερα για το DLC Toxic Treasures, δείτε αυτή την ανάρτηση. Διαφορετικά, μπορείτε να τα προσθέσετε στη λίστα επιθυμιών σας ή να τα αγοράσετε παρακάτω:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3379430/Super_Mining_Mechs__Toxic_Treasures/

Α, και επειδή με ρωτάτε να κυκλοφορήσω το OST του Super Mining Mechs από την κυκλοφορία του, αποφάσισα να το κυκλοφορήσω και σήμερα:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3487300/Super_Mining_Mechs_Soundtrack/

Τέλος, πρέπει να αναφέρω ότι υπάρχει επιπλέον έκπτωση για όσους έχουν ήδη τα βασικά παιχνίδια. Αυτό το πακέτο σας δίνει επιπλέον 30% έκπτωση (ναι, πάνω από την έκπτωση 20% κατά την κυκλοφορία) σε όλα: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/46085/Mining_Mechs__Complete_Franchise/

Και όπως πάντα, ευχαριστώ όλους για την συνεχιζόμενη υποστήριξή σας! <3

Hope you're all doing great! With the upcoming DLC content planned for Friday, I wanted to make sure there's something new to play in the base game as well. So today I'm showcasing a (free) base game content update that's coming tomorrow, one day ahead of the upcoming DLCs.

Tomorrow's content update includes the following:

• 2 new maps
  
• A new 'rock' type
  
• 10 Trading cards
  
• 5 New achievements

There are two new maps, one on planet Frostera and one on planet Vulcanar. These are the fourth maps on each planet and will unlock after completing the third maps. They also include additional mines so you can build new mining sites for additional passive resources.
You might be wondering how a new type of rock could possibly be interesting, however, this rock is actually diggable! You'll encounter these rocks on Frostera and Vulcanar. Although you can dig right through them without the need of any bombs, they will freeze or overheat your mech, so you need to cool down for a bit until you can continue. Of course the overheating and freezing passives will help you cool down much faster!
Starting from tomorrow, Super Mining Mechs will have Steam trading cards enabled, which means you will randomly find cards as you play the game. Turn them into an awesome badge to unlock Steam wallpapers and emoji's to spice up your Steam profile.
By popular request, I'm adding a handful of achievements as well. I got asked many times to add new achievements in the DLC, but sadly it's not possible to add seperate achievements to DLC content. This means that if I would add achievements that require the DLC content, it would become impossible for players to get 100% of the achievements without purchasing the DLC. I don't think it's fair to force people to get the DLC just to get the achievements, so I won't be adding any new achievements tied to the new DLC content. However, of course it's still possible to expand the range of achievements of the base game, so I'm adding 5 new achievements!
Lastly - please don't forget to wishlist the upcoming DLC / soundtrack. It helps out a lot for the Steam algorithm and makes sure you get notified when they launch this Friday. This way you won't miss the launch discount!

Patched the game in preparation of upcoming DLC. Hiding patch notes to avoid spoilers.

The new Toxic Treasures DLC is launching in 2 weeks. Wishlist now!

Hey everyone!

Hope you're all doing great! As you might know, I'm currently working on two DLCs, one for Mining Mechs and one for the sequel Super Mining Mechs. Both DLCs are set to launch at the end of this month on Friday February 28th.

In a recent post I talked about the Toxic Treasures DLC for Super Mining Mechs, so this week I'd like to take some time to talk about the contents of the upcoming Camel Chaos DLC for the original Mining Mechs!

But first, please take some time to wishlist both DLC here to be notified when they launch! It also helps a lot for the Steam algorithm :)

This brand new adventure takes you to the desert, as weird animal noises have been detected underground... and that can only mean one thing; you're needed for another mining adventure.
As you dig down you'll encounter lots of wild camels. Although friendly, these are a jumpy bunch, and so you need to catch them to calm them down. You can then ride them around to unlock gates and doorways.
The new DLC also features 5 brand new mechs, 13 new resources to mine and a lot of underground pyramids connect your piping system to. And can you find the secret extra pyramid?
Mining Mechs - Camel Chaos: $0.99
Super Mining Mechs - Toxic Treasures: $1.99
Both DLCs will have a launch discount, and there will also be a bundle to get an additional discount when you get both DLCs at once!

PS: I've received a lot of requests to release the OST of Super Mining Mechs ever since the game launched, so I'm also releasing the OST alongside these DLCs! If you're into OSTs you can find it here.

Lastly - please don't forget to wishlist both DLC. It helps out a lot for the Steam algorithm and makes sure you get notified when they launch. This way you won't miss the launch discount!

And as always - thank you all for your continued support! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the upcoming DLC and if you have any questions please feel free to ask them below! :)

Hey everyone!

Hope you're having a great first month of the year! I've been making great progress with the upcoming DLCs for both Mining Mechs and Super Mining Mechs, and so today I'd like to share that both DLCs are set to launch on Friday February 28th.

In this post I'm zooming in on Super Mining Mechs - Toxic Treasures. But first, please take some time to wishlist both DLC here to be notified when they launch! It also helps a lot for the Steam algorithm :)

The DLC adds a brand new planet to Super Mining Mechs called "Toxera", which is a dangerous and toxic place full of acid. You receive a distress call from Doctor Dica, a German scientist who's underground laboratory is flooded with acid. He asks you to dive down in a special submarine mech to restore his labs, but can you really trust him?
Naturally, you can upgrade and customize your submarine mech to increase your underwater (or should I say under-acid) mining speed. However - that doesn't mean your old trusty super mining mech is not useful on Toxera either, as you can drain the acid by restoring pumps, draining the acid from certain regions and allowing for your regular mech to mine there.
Toxera contains 20 brand new resources to find in the Lanthanide and Actinide element groups. And of course - once cleared of acid - you can build mines on this planet to mine them passively.
While underwater, you can move around freely in any direction - which also means you can mine in any direction - even upwards! That's right, I know many of you have requested for mechs to be able to mine upwards, so here you go!
Mining Mechs - Camel Chaos: $0.99
Super Mining Mechs - Toxic Treasures: $1.99
Both DLCs will have a launch discount, and there will also be a bundle to get an additional discount when you get both DLCs at once!

Want to help me test the upcoming DLCs? Awesome! We're still actively looking for enthusiastic testers. For more information check out the #announcements channel in our Discord.

Hey everyone!

I'm really excited to announce two new adventures coming to the Mining Mechs franchise, as I'm announcing not one, but two new DLCs today; one for Super Mining Mechs and one for the original Mining Mechs. That's right! I've not forgotten about the original just yet and I've decided to release a new DLC for the original game alongside the new DLC for Super Mining Mechs.

Before you read on, please take some time to wishlist both DLC here to be notified when they launch! It also helps a lot for the Steam algorithm :)

So what does each DLC include exactly?
*region pricing applies. price will differ based on currency and location according to Steam's suggested price conversion.

I'd also like to take some time to address the elephant in the room; why paid DLC? As a gamer myself I understand that paying for stuff is never fun. That's why I've been pushing out a lot of patches and updates for free over the past months. However, with the base price of both games being so low, it's not possible for me to sustain these games with this type of new content in the long run, as that's simply not profitable. Making games takes a lot of time and costs a lot of money, and since the content included in these DLCs requires an investment from my end, I'd be at a loss if it was free. That's why I've settled on the lowest possible price point of 99 cents and 1.99 to hopefully keep it as accessible as possible for everyone. I'll also make sure to include a launch discount and add them to a bundle, so you get an additional discount on top of the launch discount if you already own the game through the Complete Franchise Bundle. I hope you understand my decision and thank you for your continued support!

Lastly - please don't forget to wishlist both DLC. It helps out a lot for the Steam algorithm and makes sure you get notified when they launch. This way you won't miss the launch discount!

Thanks,
