DIGGERGUN News

[p]Hello there, Kabloop here!
[/p][p]Big news today!! I’m excited to announce that DIGGERGUN will be launching on Thursday, 6th November 2025. At the time of this blog post, that’s next week!!  [/p][p][/p][p]Check out a new trailer here: [/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Wow, I never thought I would reach this milestone. I’ve been working on DIGGERGUN for a long time, and the game’s release always felt like a very far-off thing… to actually be here, releasing the game to everyone, is exceptionally exciting indeed![/p][p][/p][p]DIGGERGUN is a life-sim, platformer based on real-life. The way the game has morphed over the years I’ve been working on it has been extraordinary. 
[/p][p]This is a game with a lot of different systems, all working together in tandem to create an experience which aspires to make the player feel constrained and uncomfortable, yet free to tackle and adapt to those feelings however they please. The player can completely miss entire storylines or barely interact with some of the systems in place, and that’s more than fine. I don’t try to direct the player, for better and for worse, letting the game evolve before you as you play.
[/p][p]When I originally started developing DIGGERGUN, I didn’t intend to go as deep with the game as I have done. But the fact that even on my playthroughs, I’m still getting surprised by the game, means that I must have done something right![/p][p][/p][p]So here I am, with a game which I hope is as meaningful to others as it is to me. DIGGERGUN is pretty oppressive, and I definitely wouldn’t recommend anyone to blast through the game in a few days, but there’s also a lot of love there and I hope I’ve shone a light on just how unfit and unjust the world of employment is.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you to everyone for all of your support.

[p]Hey everyone, Kabloop here!

Hope everyone is enjoying the Steam Next Fest. Feedback to the DIGGERGUN Demo has been absolutely amazing, and the kind words I've received have been truly uplifting and made my day/week/year! You're all so awesome, thank you!

I know that some players have struggled a bit with the default keyboard controls, and for that I apologise. It was never my intention to make getting into the game so difficult. So I've applied a patch today that will change the default controls.

- Default Controls: The arrow keys are now used for movement with X , C, V keys being used for the other actions (based on a QWERTY keyboard). These should translate well to other keyboard types.[/p][p][/p][p]My hope is that the new default controls will allow players with a variety of different keyboard styles to get into the game quicker without having to adjust their controls. If more changes are needed, then I won't hesitate to apply them.[/p][p]Please note: Players who have already started the game and wish to use the new default controls will need to reset the controls in the settings menu once in-game. [/p][p]Players who enjoy the current, default control scheme, or have a custom control scheme need not worry as the new default controls will not wipe out their custom controls unless they reset to the default controls in the main menu.[/p][p]Players who have yet to play DIGGERGUN don't need to do anything other than make sure they've downloaded the most recent version of the game.[/p][p]For more information. players can read the patch notes here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1968180/discussions/0/624436409752713702/[/p][p]Thank you to everyone for your feedback! If you enjoy the game then please share it with your friends and be sure to wishlist, as wishlists are exceptionally important to indie game developers like myself! Thank you everyone for your support.

Happy Steam Fest! ~ Kabloop[/p]

[p]Hello everyone, Kabloop here! Happy Steam Next Fest Day!!

Today I'm excited to announce that I've added five languages to the DIGGERGUN Demo. The languages are: German, French, Italian, Japanese and Thai! They're all in the demo right now, so check them out!

There will be more languages to come, although I'm uncertain about the exact timings at the moment, but I will update you when they've been added!

Thanks everyone!

[p]Hello everyone, it’s Kabloop here and wow… It’s been a hot minute since my last blog post, huh! [/p][p]Quite a lot has happened since then. I’ve been debugging, implementing various translations, as well as doing lots of other little tidbits. There’s still a bit more to go but I’m happy to reveal that DIGGERGUN will still be launching this year! [/p][p]In relation to that news, you, my wonderfully patient gamers, can actually get your hands on the game… well, right now! That’s right, a DIGGERGUN demo is live and available for everyone to play!  [/p][p]The DIGGERGUN demo covers the first hour or two of the game, taking players through the opening tutorial and introducing them to the harsh world of DIGGERGUN and its oppressive gameplay. But players need not worry about struggling alone, as they’ll be joined by a charming cast of characters whose stories can change the player's fate for the better…[/p][p]Wait, what are you still doing here? Go play the demo! [/p][p]For those still around, the new DIGGERGUN demo is a part of the Steam Next Fest: October 2025 Edition. This festival runs between 13th October - 20th October, 2025, during which gamers can get their hands on loads of demos for a variety of upcoming indie games. It’s a great time to find your next infatuation, so make sure you get out there and play some games (I know I will!)[/p][p]If you play the demo and like what you see, then please wishlist DIGGERGUN. Wishlists really help a small, solo developer like myself. Even if you’re not very cash liquid right now, a wishlist can go a long way! Also, please tell your friends about the game and the demo! [/p][p]In the works is a new trailer, language confirmations and new blog posts about the game (I know I keep promising them… they will come eventually). Until next time, make sure you check out the DIGGERGUN demo and enjoy the wonderful October weather! [/p][p]~Kabloop[/p][p]
