Eternamine 2.3 is here!
Hey everyone & Happy new years!
My college studies combined with Christmas holidays as well as other projects in the works have left me quite busy recently, in spite of this I have had some time to create new features for Eternamine. While these new features aren't massive, they set the foundations to create lots of cool stuff in the future, both by me the developer and you players. This update has added & changed the following things:
[h2]New chat feature[/h2]
The old event text in the bottom left of the UI has been replaced with a more sophisticated chat panel. Like previously, all event texts will be displayed here but now you can see a much longer history of the messages throughout your game sessions.
This new panel also allows you to enter text as well as enter a bunch of brand new commands!
[h3]Commands[/h3]
A bunch of initial commands have been added to the game, some of them are:
And tons of more commands, all commands can be seen by using the command /help.
You can also autocomplete commands/command arguments by pressing tab as well as going through your sent messages using the arrow keys when the chat is open.
[h2]New items[/h2]
Command runes have now been added and can be obtained from Geodes. These runes will permanently give you access to their respective command. There are currently 3 different command runes: Warp, Sell & SellItem
[h2]CheatZ gamemode[/h2]
A new gamemode has been added which allow you unrestricted access to all commands including :
And many more!
The monthly contest has been given some well-needed improvements. They are:
Most of the UI-elements in the game (especially in the lobby) have been changed slightly to look better. You will most likely notice some changes as soon as you start playing again :)
Previously all my game's communities have been hosted under the same discord server, but now this has changed. Eternamine now has an exclusive discord server which can be joined through this link
In this server you can be awarded roles for winning the in-game monthly contests, share commands with
The development of Eternamine has gone on for over 2 years now, with with 1.5 of those years being regular content updates for the game. I now feel like I have reached a point in the game's development where most of what I wanted for the game is there. I do still love working on the game however, so I would very much now like to hear what you want from the game. Do you want more mines? Do you want more skills? New areas to explore? New abilities to unlock? Brand new features? Whatever it is, I want to hear your wishes for the game. So please do not hesitate to share your thoughts either in the Steam forums here or in the brand new discord listed above, I can't wait to hear them :)
Until the next update

- /timer - Call a command after a set duration, can also define repeating timers with /timerrepeating
- /say - Output text in the chat, can be combined with arguments and /setcolor to create your own unique output commands. See the official guide for this command.
