UPCOMING UPDATE: The Return of the Chompys!

Howdy, frontier miners!

Your CM Jacky🥝 here with a small sneak peak to our next major update, The Return of the Chompys!!
This major update will have many changes to the game that will affect your runs, along with more enemies, endings, and most of all, more Chompys!
There is no set date for this update yet, but know that it will be soon! I will post another update with more details when it comes alive.

We have been posting sneak peaks all the time in our discord, so if you want to see more, be sure to visit us and say hello in the Saloon to the devs! ! 🍻

[h2]Chompys, Chompys, and more Chompys! [/h2]

As the title suggests, we are adding more Chompys in our next update. Namely the Miner Chompy, punk Chompy, and the Hellraiser Chompy! Please welcome the new addition to the Chompy family. Or they might chase you- literally. Not all of them will be friendly to the miners so you better be fast!



[h2]Roll the roulette prospector! [/h2]

With this new system brought to you by the Merchant Trading Company, you will be able to decide what kind of situation you will face deep in the mines! Will you have more riches? Or will you have more peril and mayhem? Only way to know is to ROLL.



[h2]New enemy [/h2]

Guess who's new in town! That's right, it's The Drone. He will fly, he will zap, and he will shoot the adventurous miners that comes in eerie ruins with weak and feeble minds!



[h2]New costumes [/h2]

These are just few examples of costumes that you will be able to obtain in while digging and mining in the Caves! You'll have to unlock it from the menu after finding relics that correspond to the costumes. If you don't know how, just ask us in discord!



[h2]What in the tarnation?[/h2]

What the..... don't just stand there Clayton! Everyone RUN!!!

Congratulations to the 4th Community Contest Winner!

Delicious friends, we have the art for the previous community event winner in Discord!

Feast your eyes upon the creation:

NAUTILOID CHILI!



In this event, the community members had to make a creative recipe using everything and anything in the Cave Digger 2 game!

I have to say, the submissions were amazing this time. I could see creativity and dedication in all the recipes. A sandwich made out of literal rocks for bread, a powder candy made out of geodes and minerals🍭 , delicious hamburger recipes and ramens🍜 , pies made out of an iconic mineral in game (blueberrite)🫐, tartar that turns you invisible, amazing protection brew that I actually want to try🍹 , and even a whole course menu!

Unfortunately, there had to be only one winner in here, and it was the Nautiloid chili. It had the best ingredients, recipe structure, and story behind the recipe!

Congratulations SPOCKHELP for winning the 4th community contest, the Cave Digger Gourmet Festival!

A reminder that the next contest "It's ALIVE! Create your own chompy" contest will end next Friday. So create as much chompy as you humanly can and get the rewards!
