Chilly DevLogs from Alaska! #94 GAME MECHANICS: Getting Gold

Hello, explorers!

We’re getting close.

The release of Alaska Gold Fever is just around the corner, and from this point on, we’ll be focusing on showing you what is already in the game - not just what will be. Of course, things can still change based on your feedback, but what you see now reflects the core experience.

So...
Let’s talk about gold!



Everything starts in the mine.
Armed with a pickaxe, you’ll dig into frozen rock, break through walls, and search for valuable veins hidden deep underground. Mining is not just about swinging tools - it’s about observation, patience, and knowing where to dig.

Pickaxes, buckets, filters - all of those tools can be upgraded to better serve their purpose!





Not everything you mine is immediately valuable.
Collected material can be processed - for example, by sifting it using a bucket. Separating dirt from valuable resources takes time, but it’s a reliable and grounded way of turning effort into profit.

Get dirt to the bucket and dump it on the special filtering machine (outside every gold mine).
Use a filter and then collect what you digged. Gold, iron... or even something else?





Underground, light is more than just atmosphere - it’s a tool.

Your lamp helps you navigate tight tunnels, but also plays a key role in locating gold veins. Gold hidden in rocks become easier to spot when properly illuminated.





Of course… mining isn’t the only option.
You can always try your luck with gold panning - searching rivers and streams using a simple pan. It’s slower, calmer, and a bit more traditional.

Or…
Well, let’s just say there are other ways to acquire gold... We’re not encouraging robbery or searching for other prospectors remains ;)





In the next DevLogs, we’ll continue breaking down specific systems and mechanics in detail - showing you exactly how the game plays, step by step.

Until then - stay warm out there!
