[h2]Player skins[/h2]
Player skins are finally here! I know you've all been wanting it (I've seen and heard your requests) and here they are! Player skins can now be purchased and equipped by talking to the "Player Master". Some skins can be bought for trophies (like other skins). Additionally, the bi-monthly collection events each have their own exclusive skin. There is also an exclusive player skin that can be obtained by winning a monthly contest.



[h2]Public profiles[/h2]
The boring leaderboard entries are now getting much more personality. On top of displaying just a score and a public username, the leaderboards will now also display:

• A player, pickaxe and sword skin of your choice
  
• A player, pickaxe and sword shader skin of your choice
  
• A title of your choice. Titles are automatically unlocked from certain achievements
  

[h2]Contest additions[/h2]
The monthly contest now has some exclusive items that you can obtain. These items can mainly be gotten from a "contest bag" obtained from the new upgrade associated with it. There are currently contest point bags as well as contest explosives. All contest items are wiped from your inventory when a new contest starts, so make sure to use them before that.



[h2]Custom keybinds[/h2]
You can now finally bind your own custom inputs both for keyboard-mouse and for controller input. This was probably a feature I should have added a long time ago but just never got around to it. Better late than never I guess :) This feature is not extremely-well tested, so please let me know if you find any issues and I will get to it as soon as possible.



[h2]QOL/Minor Changes[/h2]

• /ancientshard command have been added for the CheatZ gamemode
  
• Pet slots now display info of which stats are upgraded for each pet
  
• Dark mine ores now have much better chop particles
  
• Sticky bombs now count towards the "use bomb" quests. (Contest bombs also count)
  
• Added scrollbars to all applicable panels
  
• Refinery panel now shows recipes that can be done first when starting a new refinery recipe
  
• Fixed all issues with some buttons being wrongfully masked
  
• And tons (and I mean tons) of additional small UI fixes & improvements
  

• Rebirthing now has a change to give you geodes as a bonus
  
• The Unicorn and flamingo pets have received significant buffs to their mining speed
  

• Fixed a bug where fullscreen would be toggled every time you entered the main menu
  
• Fixed a bug where ability cooldown slots would mess up when in camera mode (F1)
  

Eternamine has now been out for 2 years and throughout that time, the game has certainly evolved way past its original state. Throughout this development, I have kept the game at the original release price and I intend to keep it that way. However, I do believe that a slightly higher price more accurately reflects the games value and have hence decided to take a middle-road in the form of a supporter pack DLC. The Eternamine Supporter pack does not contain any additional content and only contains cosmetic additions. Hence you are not missing out any gameplay aspects if you do not want to get the supporter pack.
The pack currently contains cosmetics in the form of

• Exclusive Titles for your public profile
  
• Exclusive player skins
  
• Exclusive shader skins
  
• Exclusive lobby "seasons"
  
• Exclusive lobby NPC stands
  
• A "Supporter Edition" ribbon in the main menu of the game
  
• An exclusive role in the Eternamine discord server
  

And may be updated in the future to contain even more stuff.
If you have enjoyed Eternamine and would like to further support the game while simultaneously receiving some bonus cosmetics and decorations, then please consider getting the supporter pack :)

You can find the supporter pack here: Eternamine Supporter Pack



Until the next update

A small patch has been applied to Eternamine, it handles the following fixes and changes:

• The info sign in the lobby has been drastically improved. From just covering a few sections, it now describes most aspects of the game, organized by "early-game", "mid-game", "late-game" and "misc"
  
• Fixed an issue with dark mine stone chunks always being lit.
  

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:

• /value - Check the value of all three main currencies of whichever item you're holding
  
• /warp - Warp to a mine/deep mine or the lobby. Command is locked by default but can be unlocked with the warp command rune (see below)
  
• /alias - Manage your own aliases for commands, these support command chaining, allowing a single command call to call multiple commands (using << notation).
  
• /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.
  

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 :

• /item - Manage items freely, give and remove whichever items you want from your inventory
  
• /money - Manage your money freely
  
• /tokens - Manage your tokens freely
  
• /gems - Manage your gems freely
  

And many more!


The monthly contest has been given some well-needed improvements. They are:

• You can now see your total earned points and your current contest placement when in the contest mine
  
• When your contest placement changes while in the contest mine, you will receive a notification in the chat
  
• You can now see the results of all past monthly contests
  
• Issues with contest rewards not being given has been further fixed. They should no longer happen
  

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
